# List memory banks

`GET /v1/default/banks`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://hindsight.vectorize.io` (the document declares no server; this is the origin it was published from)
- URL: `https://hindsight.vectorize.io/v1/default/banks`
- Auth: none declared
- TypeScript: <https://skmtc.dev/vectorize/apis/hindsight-http-api/docs/v1/default/banks/get.ts> (a function with typed inputs; its response is checked against the schema)

List banks with their profiles and summary stats, most recently written first (`last_write_at` descending), with pagination and optional search.

## Query parameters

- `q` string, nullable: Case-insensitive substring filter on bank ID or name (e.g. 'alice')
- `limit` integer: Maximum number of banks to return
- `offset` integer: Offset for pagination

## Headers

- `authorization` string, nullable

## Response `200`

Successful Response

- BankListResponse: Response model for listing banks, one page at a time.
  - `banks` BankListItem[], required
    - `bank_id` string, required
    - `name` string, nullable
    - `disposition` DispositionTraits, required: Disposition traits that influence how memories are formed and interpreted.
      - `skepticism` integer, required: How skeptical vs trusting (1=trusting, 5=skeptical)
      - `literalism` integer, required: How literally to interpret information (1=flexible, 5=literal)
      - `empathy` integer, required: How much to consider emotional context (1=detached, 5=empathetic)
    - `mission` string, nullable
    - `created_at` string, nullable
    - `updated_at` string, nullable
    - `fact_count` integer
    - `last_document_at` string, nullable: When a document was last *ingested* into this bank. Appending to an existing document does not move this — use `last_write_at` for write activity.
    - `last_write_at` string, nullable: When anything was last written to this bank: a document retained (including appends to an existing document) or a fact stored. Null if the bank is empty.
    - `display_alias` string, nullable: The alias this bank is presented under, when one was promoted. Display only: `bank_id` remains the bank's identity everywhere else. Null when no alias is primary, in which case show `bank_id`.
    - `matched_aliases` string[]: Aliases of this bank that matched the search `q`. Empty when no search was made, or when the bank matched on its own id or name — so a non-empty value explains a result whose `bank_id` does not contain the search text.
  - `total` integer, required: Total number of banks visible to the caller, ignoring `limit`/`offset`.
  - `limit` integer, required
  - `offset` integer, required
