agentmemory-mcp-tools

This skill indexes agentmemory's MCP tools. Use the connected server's tool inventory and schemas; a native memory provider may expose a smaller set under different names. Hermes and OpenClaw skills that need the full surface require a separate MCP connection to the running daemon.

Quick start

Save then recall:

1. memory_save with content (the insight), concepts (comma-separated keywords), files (comma-separated paths).
2. memory_smart_search with query, limit, and targetLayer: "memory" to retrieve saved knowledge later. Omit targetLayer to also search captured observations. This runs hybrid BM25 plus vector plus graph-expanded search.

Tool families

• Capture: memory_save, memory_compress_file. Automatic observations use native hooks or POST /agentmemory/observe, not an MCP observation tool.
• Retrieve: memory_smart_search, memory_recall, memory_file_history, memory_timeline, memory_vision_search.
• Sessions and commits: memory_sessions, memory_commits, memory_commit_lookup.
• Knowledge and graph: memory_lesson_save, memory_lesson_recall, memory_graph_query, memory_relations, memory_patterns, memory_crystallize.
• Structured slots: memory_slot_create, memory_slot_append, memory_slot_get, memory_slot_list, memory_slot_replace, memory_slot_delete.
• Governance and health: memory_governance_delete, memory_audit, memory_verify, memory_heal, memory_diagnose.

Workflow

1. Pick the narrowest tool for the task. Prefer memory_smart_search for open recall, memory_recall when you already have a focused query, memory_sessions for session listings.
2. Look up exact parameter names and which are required in REFERENCE.md before calling.
3. Pass only documented fields. REST handlers whitelist fields and drop unknown ones.
4. For budgeted memory_recall, distinguish matched_count: 0 from excluded_by_budget > 0. Expand clipped or omitted IDs with memory_smart_search and expandIds, preserving the same scope filters.
