# Body parameters

  • content: string or null

    UTF-8 text content for the new memory. Maximum 100 kB (102,400 bytes). Required; pass "" explicitly to create an empty memory.

  • path: string

    Hierarchical path for the new memory, e.g. /projects/foo/notes.md. Must start with /, contain at least one non-empty segment, and be at most 1,024 bytes. Must not contain empty segments, . or .. segments, control or format characters, or the Unicode line and paragraph separators (U+2028, U+2029), and must be NFC-normalized. Paths are case-sensitive.

    minLength: 2, maxLength: 1024

# Returns

  • BetaManagedAgentsMemory object

    A memory object: a single text document at a hierarchical path inside a memory store. The content field is populated when view=full and null when view=basic; the content_size_bytes and content_sha256 fields are always populated so sync clients can diff without fetching content. Memories are addressed by their mem_... ID; the path is the create key and can be changed via update.

    • type: "memory"

    • id: string

      Unique identifier for this memory (a mem_... value). Stable across renames; use this ID, not the path, to read, update, or delete the memory.

    • content_sha256: string

      Lowercase hex SHA-256 digest of the UTF-8 content bytes (64 characters). The server applies no normalization, so clients can compute the same hash locally for staleness checks and as the value for a content_sha256 precondition on update. Always populated, regardless of view.

    • content_size_bytes: number

      Size of content in bytes (the UTF-8 plaintext length). Always populated, regardless of view.

      format: int32

    • created_at: string

      A timestamp in RFC 3339 format

      format: date-time

    • memory_store_id: string

      ID of the memory store this memory belongs to (a memstore_... value).

    • memory_version_id: string

      ID of the memory_version representing this memory's current content (a memver_... value). This is the authoritative head pointer; memory_version objects do not carry an is_latest flag, so compare against this field instead. Enumerate the history via List memory versions.

    • path: string

      Hierarchical path of the memory within the store, e.g. /projects/foo/notes.md. Always starts with /. Paths are case-sensitive and unique within a store. Maximum 1,024 bytes.

    • updated_at: string

      A timestamp in RFC 3339 format

      format: date-time

    • content: optional string or null

      The memory's UTF-8 text content. Populated when view=full; null when view=basic. Maximum 100 kB (102,400 bytes).

# List memories

GET /v1/memory_stores/{memory_store_id}/memories

List memories

# Path parameters

  • memory_store_id: string

# Query parameters

  • depth: optional number

    0 (or omitted) returns all descendants below path_prefix (recursive). 1 returns immediate children only; deeper entries roll up as memory_prefix items. depth=1 behaves like ls; omitting depth behaves like find.

    format: int32

  • limit: optional number

    Maximum number of items to return per page. Must be between 1 and 100. Defaults to 20 when omitted. Capped at 20 when view=full. Both memory and memory_prefix items count toward the limit.

    format: int32

  • page: optional string

    Opaque pagination cursor (a page_... value). Pass the next_page value from a previous response to fetch the next page; omit for the first page.

  • path_prefix: optional string

    Optional path prefix filter. Must end with / (segment-aligned), e.g., /notes/. This value appears in request URLs. Do not include secrets or personally identifiable information.

  • view: optional BetaManagedAgentsMemoryView

    Which projection of each memory to return. Defaults to basic (content omitted). full populates content on each item and caps limit at 20; use this as the bulk-read path for export and sync.

# Returns

  • data: optional array of BetaManagedAgentsMemoryListItem

    One page of results. Each item is either a memory object or, when depth was set, a memory_prefix rollup marker. Items are returned in a stable, server-defined order.

    • BetaManagedAgentsMemory object

      A memory object: a single text document at a hierarchical path inside a memory store. The content field is populated when view=full and null when view=basic; the content_size_bytes and content_sha256 fields are always populated so sync clients can diff without fetching content. Memories are addressed by their mem_... ID; the path is the create key and can be changed via update.

      • type: "memory"

      • id: string

        Unique identifier for this memory (a mem_... value). Stable across renames; use this ID, not the path, to read, update, or delete the memory.

      • content_sha256: string

        Lowercase hex SHA-256 digest of the UTF-8 content bytes (64 characters). The server applies no normalization, so clients can compute the same hash locally for staleness checks and as the value for a content_sha256 precondition on update. Always populated, regardless of view.

      • content_size_bytes: number

        Size of content in bytes (the UTF-8 plaintext length). Always populated, regardless of view.

        format: int32

      • created_at: string

        A timestamp in RFC 3339 format

        format: date-time

      • memory_store_id: string

        ID of the memory store this memory belongs to (a memstore_... value).

      • memory_version_id: string

        ID of the memory_version representing this memory's current content (a memver_... value). This is the authoritative head pointer; memory_version objects do not carry an is_latest flag, so compare against this field instead. Enumerate the history via List memory versions.

      • path: string

        Hierarchical path of the memory within the store, e.g. /projects/foo/notes.md. Always starts with /. Paths are case-sensitive and unique within a store. Maximum 1,024 bytes.

      • updated_at: string

        A timestamp in RFC 3339 format

        format: date-time

      • content: optional string or null

        The memory's UTF-8 text content. Populated when view=full; null when view=basic. Maximum 100 kB (102,400 bytes).

    • BetaManagedAgentsMemoryPrefix object

      A rolled-up directory marker returned by List memories when depth is set. Indicates that one or more memories exist deeper than the requested depth under this prefix. This is a list-time rollup, not a stored resource; it has no ID and no lifecycle. Each prefix counts toward the page limit and interleaves with memory items in path order.

      • type: "memory_prefix"

      • path: string

        The rolled-up path prefix, including a trailing / (e.g. /projects/foo/). Pass this value as path_prefix on a subsequent list call to drill into the directory.

  • next_page: optional string or null

    Opaque cursor for the next page (a page_... value), or null if there are no more results. Pass as page on the next request.

# Body parameters

  • content: optional string or null

    New UTF-8 text content for the memory. Maximum 100 kB (102,400 bytes). Omit to leave the content unchanged (e.g., for a rename-only update).

  • path: optional string or null

    New path for the memory (a rename). Must start with /, contain at least one non-empty segment, and be at most 1,024 bytes. Must not contain empty segments, . or .. segments, control or format characters, or the Unicode line and paragraph separators (U+2028, U+2029), and must be NFC-normalized. Paths are case-sensitive. The memory's id is preserved across renames. Omit to leave the path unchanged.

    minLength: 2, maxLength: 1024

  • precondition: optional BetaManagedAgentsPrecondition

    Optimistic-concurrency precondition: the update applies only if the memory's stored content_sha256 equals the supplied value. On mismatch, the request returns memory_precondition_failed_error (HTTP 409); re-read the memory and retry against the fresh state. If the precondition fails but the stored state already exactly matches the requested content and path, the server returns 200 instead of 409.

    • type: "content_sha256"

    • content_sha256: optional string

      Expected content_sha256 of the stored memory (64 lowercase hexadecimal characters). Typically the content_sha256 returned by a prior read or list call. Because the server applies no content normalization, clients can also compute this locally as the SHA-256 of the UTF-8 content bytes.

# Returns

  • BetaManagedAgentsMemory object

    A memory object: a single text document at a hierarchical path inside a memory store. The content field is populated when view=full and null when view=basic; the content_size_bytes and content_sha256 fields are always populated so sync clients can diff without fetching content. Memories are addressed by their mem_... ID; the path is the create key and can be changed via update.

    • type: "memory"

    • id: string

      Unique identifier for this memory (a mem_... value). Stable across renames; use this ID, not the path, to read, update, or delete the memory.

    • content_sha256: string

      Lowercase hex SHA-256 digest of the UTF-8 content bytes (64 characters). The server applies no normalization, so clients can compute the same hash locally for staleness checks and as the value for a content_sha256 precondition on update. Always populated, regardless of view.

    • content_size_bytes: number

      Size of content in bytes (the UTF-8 plaintext length). Always populated, regardless of view.

      format: int32

    • created_at: string

      A timestamp in RFC 3339 format

      format: date-time

    • memory_store_id: string

      ID of the memory store this memory belongs to (a memstore_... value).

    • memory_version_id: string

      ID of the memory_version representing this memory's current content (a memver_... value). This is the authoritative head pointer; memory_version objects do not carry an is_latest flag, so compare against this field instead. Enumerate the history via List memory versions.

    • path: string

      Hierarchical path of the memory within the store, e.g. /projects/foo/notes.md. Always starts with /. Paths are case-sensitive and unique within a store. Maximum 1,024 bytes.

    • updated_at: string

      A timestamp in RFC 3339 format

      format: date-time

    • content: optional string or null

      The memory's UTF-8 text content. Populated when view=full; null when view=basic. Maximum 100 kB (102,400 bytes).

# Returns

  • BetaManagedAgentsDeletedMemory object

    Tombstone returned by Delete a memory. Deleting a memory does not erase its version history: its versions remain listable via List memory versions while they are retained (each version is kept for at least the version retention period after it was written, unless the store itself is deleted).

    • type: "memory_deleted"

    • id: string

      ID of the deleted memory (a mem_... value).

# Returns

  • BetaManagedAgentsMemoryVersion object

    A memory_version object: one immutable, attributed row in a memory's append-only history. Every non-no-op mutation to a memory produces a new version. Versions belong to the store (not the individual memory) and are not deleted with the memory; each version is retained for at least the version retention period after it was written, unless the store itself is deleted. Retrieving a redacted version returns 200 with content, path, content_size_bytes, and content_sha256 set to null; branch on redacted_at, not HTTP status.

    • type: "memory_version"

    • id: string

      Unique identifier for this version (a memver_... value).

    • created_at: string

      A timestamp in RFC 3339 format

      format: date-time

    • memory_id: string

      ID of the memory this version snapshots (a mem_... value). Remains valid after the memory is deleted; pass it as memory_id to List memory versions to retrieve the memory's retained versions, including the deleted row while the lineage is retained.

    • memory_store_id: string

      ID of the memory store this version belongs to (a memstore_... value).

    • operation: BetaManagedAgentsMemoryVersionOperation

      The kind of mutation a memory_version records. Every non-no-op mutation to a memory appends exactly one version row with one of these values.

      • "created"

      • "modified"

      • "deleted"

    • content: optional string or null

      The memory's UTF-8 text content as of this version. null when view=basic, when operation is deleted, or when redacted_at is set.

    • content_sha256: optional string or null

      Lowercase hex SHA-256 digest of content as of this version (64 characters). null when redacted_at is set or operation is deleted. Populated regardless of view otherwise.

    • content_size_bytes: optional number or null

      Size of content in bytes as of this version. null when redacted_at is set or operation is deleted. Populated regardless of view otherwise.

      format: int32

    • created_by: optional BetaManagedAgentsActor

      Identifies who performed a write or redact operation. Captured at write time on the memory_version row. The API key that created a session is not recorded on agent writes; attribution answers who made the write, not who is ultimately responsible. Look up session provenance separately via the Sessions API.

      • BetaManagedAgentsSessionActor object

        Attribution for a write made by an agent during a session, through the mounted filesystem at /mnt/memory/.

        • type: "session_actor"

        • session_id: string

          ID of the session that performed the write (a sesn_... value). Look up the session via Retrieve a session for further provenance.

          minLength: 1

      • BetaManagedAgentsAPIActor object

        Attribution for a write made directly via the public API (outside of any session).

        • type: "api_actor"

        • api_key_id: string

          ID of the API key that performed the write. This identifies the key, not the secret.

          minLength: 1

      • BetaManagedAgentsUserActor object

        Attribution for a write made by a human user through the Anthropic Console.

        • type: "user_actor"

        • user_id: string

          ID of the user who performed the write (a user_... value).

          minLength: 1

      • BetaManagedAgentsServiceAccountActor object

        Attribution for a write made by a workload authenticated as a service account, for example via Workload Identity Federation.

        • type: "service_account_actor"

        • service_account_id: string

          ID of the service account that performed the write (a svac_... value).

          minLength: 1

    • path: optional string or null

      The memory's path at the time of this write. null if and only if redacted_at is set.

    • redacted_at: optional string or null

      A timestamp in RFC 3339 format

      format: date-time

    • redacted_by: optional BetaManagedAgentsActor

      Identifies who performed a write or redact operation. Captured at write time on the memory_version row. The API key that created a session is not recorded on agent writes; attribution answers who made the write, not who is ultimately responsible. Look up session provenance separately via the Sessions API.
