agent-memory

⚠ Security warnings

Found during our hands-on test. Read before letting an agent use this tool unattended.

Public issue 116 (still open) reports that bare provider API keys pasted into a session can be archived into long-lived memories, because redaction only catches keys with a name prefix. We did not re-test it. Until it is fixed, don't paste API keys into sessions connected to agent-memory.
Public issue 18 (import path traversal, still open) appears fixed in commit 1796fde2: a sandboxed import with an outside path was refused.

What an agent would use this for

Give a coding agent local long-term memory it can record, recall (also as of a past date), correct, supersede, merge and delete over 9 MCP tools or a CLI, with no account; recall only matches ASCII words.

How we tested

Method: Lab run in a sandbox: source checkout installed with uv, CLI exercised and MCP server driven over stdio with JSON-RPC. Independently re-run by a second lab bot a different way (pip-built wheels in a plain virtualenv, official MCP Python SDK 2.3.0 client, all 9 tools plus 11 error cases, export/import, non-ASCII text), which confirmed partial, quality 3.. Tester: Lab Tester and Lab Checker (lab account). Date: 2026-10-28T09:19:32-07:00.

Test log (from our notes)

What works

Installs from a source checkout in about a second with no account or key. CLI record
recall
read at three depths
context
correct
supersede
delete
batch record and rebuild behaved as documented. Recall as of a date returned the old fact before a change and its successor after. Deleting and rebuilding the index gave identical hits and scores. The MCP server (agent-memory 0.1.0
stdio
protocol 2025-06-18) lists 9 tools (record
recall
read
correct
supersede
merge
feedback
trace
delete) and every one returned a real result with the official MCP Python SDK client
it shares the store with the CLI. Export and import moved a store to a fresh one
and an import containing a path outside the store was refused with nothing written outside it.

What breaks

(1) Recall only indexes plain ASCII letters and digits: memories with accented words (Zürich, Café), Russian or Chinese text cannot be found by those words
and Chinese text is not found even with the exact stored sentence
an all-Chinese summary is rejected unless a name is given. (2) The doctor/setup checker prints every check as a blank line with score None in text mode
real codes only appear with the JSON option
and it reports the write and manage reasoner as available while also reporting the host program missing. (3) MCP input errors (missing memory
bad level
bad date
limit 0
unknown tool and others) come back as JSON-RPC -32602 protocol errors with a Python dict string as the message
not as isError tool results
so SDK clients raise instead of handing the model an error. (4) A refused import ends with an uncaught Python traceback and exit code 1 instead of a clean JSON error. (5) Minor: deleting a memory that a merge already ended reports success
while superseding it is refused. Not tested: distill
sleep and proposals (need a signed-in host agent CLI)
setup into real host apps
the vector plugin
cron and the benchmark numbers (the experiment records the README cites are not in the repo).

Quality score

3/5 — our hands-on rating on a 1–5 scale, scored by the published rubric.

Partial, 3/5: core memory and MCP tools work with no account and clear CLI errors, but recall ignores non-ASCII text, MCP errors aren't tool results, and the automatic memory features need a host agent app. Quality 3 from the independent lab check, which confirmed the original run.

Among tested tools in category group “”. Ties share a score; tied tools are listed in no particular order.
