arXiv:2610.07311v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Agentic memory allows LLM agents to reuse past experience, yet retrieved memories can also distort inference even when they are benign, correctly stored, and appropriately retrieved. We study this failure mode, which we call memory over-reliance. Across benchmarks and memory architectures, we find that memory is useful when past experience transfers to the current task, but can become misleading when only part of the evidence transfers. Failures are strongest under partial query-memory overlap, a pattern further confirmed by controlled experiment
