List memories

beta.memory_stores.memories.list(memory_store_id, **kwargs) -> PageCursor<BetaManagedAgentsMemoryListItem>
GET/v1/memory_stores/{memory_store_id}/memories

List memories

Parameters
memory_store_id: String
depth: Integer

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.

formatint32
limit: Integer

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.

formatint32
page: 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: 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.

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.

One of the following:
:basic
:full
betas: Array[AnthropicBeta]

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

One of the following:

Returns
BetaManagedAgentsMemoryListItem = BetaManagedAgentsMemory { id, content_sha256, content_size_bytes, 7 more } | BetaManagedAgentsMemoryPrefix { path, type }

One item in a List memories response: either a memory object or, when depth is set, a memory_prefix rollup marker.

One of the following:
