Well, as I said, when plugged the agent cache is, IMHO, designed to be
transparent with respect to the server.

This implies that the summary should be the same as if the agent were
non used at all.

Only when the agent is unplugged it effectively is the server and you
may expose its internal state in the summary.

Of course, these points may be less important than I think them to
be :-)
