agentmemory MCP tools reference

Generated from src/mcp/tools-registry.ts. Do not edit the block below by hand; run npm run skills:gen after changing the registry.

agentmemory exposes 53 MCP tools. 8 are in the lean core set (--tools core or AGENTMEMORY_TOOLS=core); the rest load with --tools all (default).

Tool	Core	Parameters	Purpose
memory_action_create		title*: string, description: string, priority: number, project: string, tags: string, parentId: string, requires: string	Create an actionable work item with typed dependencies. Actions track what agents need to do and how work items relate to each other.
memory_action_update		actionId*: string, status: string, result: string, priority: number	Update an action's status, priority, or details. Set status to 'done' to complete it and unblock dependent actions.
memory_audit		operation: string, limit: number	View the audit trail of memory operations.
memory_checkpoint		operation*: string, name: string, checkpointId: string, status: string, type: string, linkedActionIds: string	Create or resolve an external checkpoint (CI result, approval, deploy status) that gates action progress.
memory_claude_bridge_sync		direction*: string	Sync memory state to/from Claude Code's native MEMORY.md file.
memory_commit_lookup		sha*: string	Look up the agent session(s) that produced a specific git commit, given its SHA. Returns the commit metadata and linked sessions.
memory_commits		branch: string, repo: string, limit: number	List recent commits linked to agent sessions, optionally filtered by branch or repo.
memory_compress_file		filePath*: string	Compress a markdown file to reduce token usage while preserving headings, URLs, and code blocks. Creates a .original.md backup before writing.
memory_consolidate	yes	tier: string	Run the 4-tier memory consolidation pipeline (working -> episodic -> semantic -> procedural).
memory_crystallize		actionIds*: string, project: string, sessionId: string	Compress completed action chains into compact crystal digests using LLM summarization. Extracts narrative, key outcomes, files affected, and lessons.
memory_diagnose	yes	categories: string	Run health checks across all subsystems (actions, leases, sentinels, sketches, signals, sessions, memories, mesh). Identifies stuck, orphaned, and inconsistent state.
memory_export		none	Export all memory data as JSON.
memory_facet_query		matchAll: string, matchAny: string, targetType: string	Query targets by facet tags with AND/OR logic. Find all actions tagged priority:urgent AND team:backend.
memory_facet_tag		targetId: string, targetType: string, dimension: string, value: string	Attach a structured tag (dimension:value) to an action, memory, or observation for multi-dimensional categorization.
memory_file_history		files*: string, sessionId: string	Get past observations about specific files.
memory_frontier		project: string, agentId: string, limit: number	Get all unblocked actions ranked by priority and urgency. Returns the frontier of actionable work with no unsatisfied dependencies.
memory_governance_delete		memoryIds*: string, reason: string	Delete specific memories with audit trail.
memory_graph_query		startNodeId: string, nodeType: string, maxDepth: number, query: string	Query the knowledge graph for entities and relationships.
memory_heal		categories: string, dryRun: string	Auto-fix all fixable issues found by diagnostics. Unblocks stuck actions, expires stale leases, cleans up orphaned data.
memory_insight_list		project: string, minConfidence: number, limit: number	List synthesized insights, higher-order observations derived from patterns across memories, lessons, and crystals.
memory_lease		actionId: string, agentId: string, operation*: string, result: string, ttlMs: number	Acquire, release, or renew an exclusive lease on an action. Prevents multiple agents from working on the same thing.
memory_lesson_recall		query*: string, project: string, minConfidence: number, limit: number	Search lessons by query. Returns lessons sorted by confidence and recency. Use to check what the agent has learned before making decisions.
memory_lesson_save	yes	content*: string, context: string, confidence: number, project: string, tags: string	Save a lesson learned from this session. Lessons have confidence scores that strengthen when reinforced and decay when not used. Duplicate content auto-strengthens the existing lesson.
memory_mesh_sync		peerId: string, direction: string	Sync memories and actions with peer agentmemory instances for multi-agent collaboration.
memory_next		project: string, agentId: string	Get the single most important next action to work on. Combines dependency resolution, priority, and recency into a score.
memory_obsidian_export		vaultDir: string, types: string	Export memories, lessons, and crystals as Obsidian-compatible Markdown files with YAML frontmatter and wikilinks for graph view.
memory_patterns		project: string	Detect recurring patterns across sessions.
memory_profile		project*: string, refresh: string	User/project profile with top concepts and file patterns.
memory_recall	yes	query*: string, limit: number, format: string, token_budget: number	Search past session observations for relevant context. Use when you need to recall what happened in previous sessions, find past decisions, or look up how a file was modified before.
memory_reflect	yes	project: string, maxClusters: number	Traverse the knowledge graph, group related memories by concept clusters, and synthesize higher-order insights via LLM. Returns new and reinforced insights.
memory_relations		memoryId*: string, maxHops: number, minConfidence: number	Query the memory relationship graph.
memory_routine_run		routineId*: string, project: string, initiatedBy: string	Instantiate a frozen workflow routine, creating actions for each step with proper dependencies.
memory_save	yes	content*: string, type: string, concepts: string, files: string, project: string	Explicitly save an important insight, decision, or pattern to long-term memory.
memory_sentinel_create		name: string, type: string, config: string, linkedActionIds: string, expiresInMs: number	Create an event-driven sentinel that watches for conditions (webhook, timer, threshold, pattern, approval) and auto-unblocks gated actions when triggered.
memory_sentinel_trigger		sentinelId*: string, result: string	Externally fire a sentinel, providing an optional result payload. Unblocks any gated actions.
memory_sessions	yes	none	List recent sessions with their status and observation counts.
memory_signal_read		agentId*: string, unreadOnly: string, threadId: string, limit: number	Read messages for an agent. Marks delivered messages as read.
memory_signal_send		from: string, to: string, content: string, type: string, replyTo: string	Send a message to another agent or broadcast. Supports threading, typed messages, and TTL expiration.
memory_sketch_create		title*: string, description: string, expiresInMs: number, project: string	Create an ephemeral action graph for exploratory work. Auto-expires after TTL. Can be promoted to permanent actions or discarded.
memory_sketch_promote		sketchId*: string, project: string	Promote a sketch's ephemeral actions to permanent actions. Makes the exploratory work official.
memory_slot_append		label: string, text: string	Append text to an existing slot. Fails with 413 if the append would exceed the slot's sizeLimit, agent must compact via memory_slot_replace first.
memory_slot_create		label*: string, content: string, sizeLimit: number, description: string, pinned: string, scope: string	Create a new slot. Reject if a slot with the same label already exists.
memory_slot_delete		label*: string	Delete a slot. Seeded default slots can be deleted unless marked readOnly.
memory_slot_get		label*: string	Read a single slot by label.
memory_slot_list		none	List all memory slots (pinned + project + global). Slots are editable, size-limited memory units the agent can read and modify across sessions.
memory_slot_replace		label: string, content: string	Replace slot content in place. Fails if content exceeds sizeLimit.
memory_smart_search	yes	query*: string, expandIds: string, limit: number	Hybrid semantic+keyword search with progressive disclosure.
memory_snapshot_create		message: string	Create a git-versioned snapshot of current memory state.
memory_team_feed		limit: number	Get recent shared items from all team members.
memory_team_share		itemId: string, itemType: string	Share a memory or observation with team members.
memory_timeline		anchor*: string, project: string, before: number, after: number	Chronological observations around an anchor point.
memory_verify		id*: string	Verify a memory or observation by tracing its citation chain back to source observations and session context. Returns provenance information including confidence scores.
memory_vision_search		queryText: string, queryImageRef: string, queryImageBase64: string, topK: number, sessionId: string	Cross-modal image search via CLIP embeddings. Pass queryText to find screenshots matching a description, or queryImageBase64/queryImageRef to find similar images. Requires AGENTMEMORY_IMAGE_EMBEDDINGS=true.
