`GET /v1/memories`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.kody.codes`
- URL: `https://api.kody.codes/v1/memories`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Search the signed-in person's **personal** memories (always their personal org, regardless of which org this connection uses). Returned matches are mutable for this person unless can_mutate is false. If you are considering writing or deleting a memory, prefer metaMemoryVerify first. Do not copy a personal memory into an org package without asking the person first.

Org permission: none (touches no org data).

## Query parameters

- `category` string: Optional category filter. Categories are freeform strings.
