At a glance

Indexes agentmemory's MCP tools by purpose, with a save-then-recall quick start and a reference file listing exact parameters.

  • Works in 2 steps: memory_save with content (the insight),… → memory_smart_search with query and limit…
  • Choosing between memory_smart_search, memory_recall and memory_sessions
  • SKILL.md covers Quick start, Tool families, Workflow and See also, plus 1 more section
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Use this as a map of the MCP tools agentmemory exposes, so the agent reaches for the right one. The families are capture (`memory_save`, `memory_compress_file`), retrieval (`memory_smart_search`, `memory_recall`, `memory_file_history`, `memory_timeline`), sessions and commits, knowledge and graph queries, structured slots, and governance and health checks such as `memory_audit` and `memory_heal`.

The quick start saves an insight with `memory_save`, passing the content, comma-separated concepts and file paths, then retrieves it with `memory_smart_search`, which runs BM25, vector and graph-expanded search together. Advice is to pick the narrowest tool, check exact parameter names in `REFERENCE.md` before calling, and pass only documented fields, since REST handlers drop unknown ones. HTTP equivalents and feature flags are covered by sibling agentmemory skills.

When your agent uses it

  • Choosing between memory_smart_search, memory_recall and memory_sessions
  • Looking up a memory tool's name or required arguments
  • Finding out what agentmemory can do through MCP

Example prompts

  • “Save this debugging insight to agentmemory, tagged with the auth concepts and the files involved.”
  • “Which agentmemory tool lists my past sessions?”
  • “Search agentmemory for earlier decisions about the retry logic and return five results.”

Requirements

  • An agentmemory server connected as an MCP server

Workflow steps

2 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. memory_save with content (the insight), concepts (comma-separated keywords), files (comma-separated paths).
  2. memory_smart_search with query and limit to retrieve it later. This runs hybrid BM25 plus vector plus graph-expanded search.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 007a1a7. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

agentmemory MCP Tools loads about 545 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 57 tokens; SKILL.md has 208 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~57
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~545

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description
Map of every agentmemory MCP tool, what each does, and its parameters. Use when choosing which memory tool to call, when a tool name or argument is unclear, or when answering what agentmemory can do via MCP.
user-invocable
false

agentmemory exposes its full capability set as MCP tools. This skill is the index: it tells you which tool to reach for and where to find exact parameters.

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 and limit to retrieve it later. This runs hybrid BM25 plus vector plus graph-expanded search.

Tool families

  • Capture: memory_save, memory_observe flows, memory_compress_file.
  • 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.

  • agentmemory-config for tool-visibility and feature flags.
