Actually that's not quite true. The knowledge agent "cf-know" uses it to query a db cache when querying a knowledge map. The difference with Nova is that you don't have to do all the work yourself in building the knowledge map.
The library dependency appears in all agents because of the way the libraries are structured, even though it is not needed. cf-key clearly doesn't need any of this.
