Memories

Update Memory

Update a memory's content and/or metadata.

If content is changed, the HNSW vector is re-embedded automatically. Metadata is merged (not replaced) — only specified keys are updated.

Optional scope ("<kind>:<value>") stamps the write; must be within the caller's visible scopes (403 otherwise). Defaults to user:<user_id>.
