Update a memory

client.Beta.MemoryStores.Memories.Update(ctx, memoryID, params) (*BetaManagedAgentsMemory, error)

POST/v1/memory_stores/{memory_store_id}/memories/{memory_id}

Update a memory

Parameters

memoryID string

params BetaMemoryStoreMemoryUpdateParams

MemoryStoreID param.Field[string]

Path param: Path parameter memory_store_id

View param.Field[BetaManagedAgentsMemoryView] Optional

Query param: Query parameter for view

Content param.Field[string] Optional

Body param: 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 param.Field[string] Optional

Body param: 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

Precondition param.Field[BetaManagedAgentsPrecondition] Optional

Body param: 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.

Betas param.Field[[]AnthropicBeta] Optional

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

WorkspaceID param.Field[string] Optional

Header param: 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

type BetaManagedAgentsMemory struct { Type: "memory"; 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.

Type BetaManagedAgentsMemoryType

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.

ContentSha256 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.

ContentSizeBytes int64

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

formatint32

CreatedAt Time

A timestamp in RFC 3339 format

formatdate-time

MemoryStoreID string

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

MemoryVersionID 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.

UpdatedAt Time

A timestamp in RFC 3339 format

formatdate-time

Content string Optional

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