--- title: Update a Memory url: https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/api/go/beta/memory_stores/memories/update --- # 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` (path parameter) The ID of the memory to update (`mem_...`). - `params BetaMemoryStoreMemoryUpdateParams` - `MemoryStoreID string` (path parameter) The ID of the memory store that holds the memory (`memstore_...`). - `View BetaManagedAgentsMemoryView Optional` (query parameter) Whether a `memory` or `memory_version` in the response includes its `content`. Defaults to `full` on retrieve operations and to `basic` on list, create, and update operations. With `full`, list operations return at most 20 items per page. - `Content param.Opt[string] Optional` 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.Opt[string] Optional` The new path of the memory, which renames it. Omit it to keep the current path. The memory keeps its `id`. A path starts with `/` and has 1 to 20 segments. A segment can't be empty and can't be `.` or `..`. A path can't contain control characters, format characters, or the line and paragraph separators U+2028 and U+2029. It must be in Unicode Normalization Form C and at most 1,024 bytes long. Paths are case-sensitive. minLength: 2, maxLength: 1024 - `Precondition BetaManagedAgentsPreconditionParam Optional` The condition that the memory must meet for the update to apply. Omit it to update unconditionally. If the condition fails, the request fails with HTTP status 409. - `Betas []AnthropicBeta Optional` (header parameter) This endpoint is in beta: requests must send `agent-memory-2026-07-22` or `managed-agents-2026-04-01` in this header. -

`const AnthropicBetaWebhooks2026_10_07 AnthropicBeta = "webhooks-2026-10-07"` - `WorkspaceID param.Opt[string] Optional` (header 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 - `type BetaManagedAgentsMemory` A text document at a path inside a memory store. `content` is `null` when the response uses `view=basic`. `content_size_bytes` and `content_sha256` are always set, so you can detect changes without fetching the content. To retrieve, update, or delete a memory, pass its ID, which stays the same when its path changes. See the [memory guide](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/managed-agents/memory?sdk_languages=go#view-and-edit-memories) to learn more about working with memories. - `Type Memory` - `ID string` The unique ID of the memory (`mem_...`). It stays the same when the memory's path changes. To retrieve, update, or delete the memory, pass this ID. - `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` The size of the memory's `content` in UTF-8 bytes. It is set regardless of `view`. format: int32 - `CreatedAt Time` When this memory was created, in RFC 3339 format. format: date-time - `MemoryStoreID string` ID of the memory store this memory belongs to (a `memstore_...` value). - `MemoryVersionID string` The ID of the memory version that holds the memory's current content (`memver_...`). Memory versions don't have a flag that marks the latest one. Compare their IDs with this field instead. See the [memory guide](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/managed-agents/memory?sdk_languages=go#audit-memory-changes) to learn more about 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` When the memory was last changed, in RFC 3339. To find out who made the change, look at `created_by` on the memory version that `memory_version_id` references. format: date-time - `Content string Optional` The memory's UTF-8 text content, or `null` when the response uses `view=basic`. The maximum size is 100 kB (102,400 bytes). ## Example ```go package main import ( "context" "fmt" "github.com/anthropics/anthropic-sdk-go/v2" "github.com/anthropics/anthropic-sdk-go/v2/option" ) func main() { client := anthropic.NewClient( option.WithAPIKey("my-anthropic-api-key"), ) betaManagedAgentsMemory, err := client.Beta.MemoryStores.Memories.Update( context.TODO(), "memory_id", anthropic.BetaMemoryStoreMemoryUpdateParams{ MemoryStoreID: "memory_store_id", }, ) if err != nil { panic(err.Error()) } fmt.Printf("%+v\n", betaManagedAgentsMemory.ID) } ``` ### Response (200) ```json { "id": "id", "content_sha256": "content_sha256", "content_size_bytes": 0, "created_at": "2019-12-27T18:11:19.117Z", "memory_store_id": "memory_store_id", "memory_version_id": "memory_version_id", "path": "path", "type": "memory", "updated_at": "2019-12-27T18:11:19.117Z", "content": "content" } ```
