Update a memory

BetaManagedAgentsMemory Beta.MemoryStores.Memories.Update(parameters, cancellationToken = default)
POST/v1/memory_stores/{memory_store_id}/memories/{memory_id}

Update a memory

Parameters
MemoryUpdateParams parameters
required string memoryStoreID⁠Path parameter

The ID of the memory store that holds the memory (memstore_...).

required string memoryID⁠Path parameter

The ID of the memory to update (mem_...).

BetaManagedAgentsMemoryView view⁠Query parameter

Selects which projection of a memory or memory_version the server returns. basic returns the object with content set to null; full populates content. When omitted, the default is endpoint-specific: retrieve operations default to full; list, create, and update operations default to basic. Listing with view=full caps limit at 20.

string? content

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).

string? path

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.

minLength2
maxLength1024
BetaManagedAgentsPrecondition precondition

Optional optimistic-concurrency precondition. When supplied, the update applies only if the memory's current state matches; on mismatch the request returns memory_precondition_failed_error (HTTP 409). When omitted, the update is unconditional.

IReadOnlyList<AnthropicBeta> betas⁠Header parameter

Optional header to specify the beta version(s) you want to use.

string workspaceID⁠Header parameter

Optional header to select the Workspace for this request. The value is a Workspace ID (for example, wrkspc_011CZkZaBF1tNoB5wlCeusgy).

Only needed for credentials that can act on more than one Workspace. A credential that belongs to a specific Workspace may omit it; if sent, it must match that Workspace.

Returns
class BetaManagedAgentsMemory { Type; ID; ContentSha256; /* 7 more */ }

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.

Update a memory
MemoryUpdateParams parameters = new()
{
    MemoryStoreID = "memory_store_id",
    MemoryID = "memory_id",
};

var betaManagedAgentsMemory = await client.Beta.MemoryStores.Memories.Update(parameters);

Console.WriteLine(betaManagedAgentsMemory);
