### Using MCP Tools

```python
# Example: Using MCP tools programmatically
from safla.integrations import FastMCPClient

client = FastMCPClient()

# Validate installation
result = await client.call_tool("validate_installation", {})
print(f"Installation valid: {result['status'] == 'valid'}")

# Deploy new instance
deployment = await client.call_tool("deploy_safla_instance", {
    "instance_name": "production-safla",
    "environment": "production",
    "config_overrides": {
        "memory": {"max_memories": 50000},
        "safety": {"memory_limit": 2000000000}
    }
})

# Monitor system health
health = await client.call_tool("monitor_system_health", {
    "check_interval": 30,
    "alert_thresholds": {
        "memory_usage": 0.8,
        "cpu_usage": 0.9
    }
})
```

## 📊 Delta Evaluation

The system implements formal quantification of improvements using:

```
Δ_total = α₁ × Δ_performance + α₂ × Δ_efficiency + α₃ × Δ_stability + α₄ × Δ_capability
```

Where:
- **Δ_performance**: `(current_reward - previous_reward) / tokens_used`
- **Δ_efficiency**: `(current_throughput - previous_throughput) / resource_used`
- **Δ_stability**: `1 - divergence_score` (with trend analysis)
- **Δ_capability**: `new_capabilities / total_capabilities`

```python
from safla.core.delta_evaluation import DeltaEvaluator

evaluator = DeltaEvaluator()

# Evaluate system improvements
result = evaluator.evaluate_delta(
    performance_data={
        'current_reward': 0.92,
        'previous_reward': 0.85,
        'tokens_used': 1000
    },
    efficiency_data={
        'current_throughput': 150,
        'previous_throughput': 120,
        'resource_used': 0.8
    },
    stability_data={
        'divergence_score': 0.15
    },
    capability_data={
        'new_capabilities': 2,
        'total_capabilities': 10
    },
    context="performance_critical"
)

print(f"Total Delta: {result.total_delta}")
print(f"Improvement Detected: {result.is_improvement()}")
```
