## List memory layers

`$ cadenya memory-layers list`

**get** `/v1/memory_layers`

Lists all memory layers in the workspace

### Parameters

- `--cursor: optional string`

  Pagination cursor from previous response

- `--include-info: optional boolean`

  When set to true you may use more of your alloted API rate-limit

- `--limit: optional number`

  Maximum number of results to return

- `--prefix: optional string`

  Filter expression (query param: prefix)

- `--sort-order: optional string`

  Sort order for results (asc or desc by creation time)

- `--type: optional "MEMORY_LAYER_TYPE_UNSPECIFIED" or "MEMORY_LAYER_TYPE_EPISODIC" or "MEMORY_LAYER_TYPE_SKILLS"`

  Filter by layer type

### Returns

- `ListMemoryLayersResponse: object { items, pagination }`

  - `items: optional array of MemoryLayer`

    - `metadata: object { id, accountId, createdAt, 5 more }`

      Standard metadata for persistent, named resources (e.g., agents, tools, prompts)

      - `id: string`

        Unique identifier for the resource (prefixed ULID, e.g., "agent_01HXK...")

      - `accountId: string`

        Account this resource belongs to for multi-tenant isolation (prefixed ULID)

      - `createdAt: string`

        Timestamp when this resource was created

      - `name: string`

        Human-readable name for the resource (e.g., "Customer Support Agent", "Email Tool")
        Required for resources that users interact with directly

      - `profileId: string`

        ID of the actor (user or service account) that created this resource

      - `workspaceId: string`

        Workspace this resource belongs to for organizational grouping (prefixed ULID)

      - `externalId: optional string`

        External ID for the resource (e.g., a workflow ID from an external system)

      - `labels: optional map[string]`

        Arbitrary key-value pairs for categorization and filtering
        Examples: {"environment": "production", "team": "platform", "version": "v2"}

    - `spec: object { type, description, expiresAt, systemManaged }`

      - `type: "MEMORY_LAYER_TYPE_UNSPECIFIED" or "MEMORY_LAYER_TYPE_EPISODIC" or "MEMORY_LAYER_TYPE_SKILLS"`

        - `"MEMORY_LAYER_TYPE_UNSPECIFIED"`

        - `"MEMORY_LAYER_TYPE_EPISODIC"`

        - `"MEMORY_LAYER_TYPE_SKILLS"`

      - `description: optional string`

        Human-readable description of the layer's purpose. Encouraged for
        user-created layers; system-managed layers may have a generated description.

      - `expiresAt: optional string`

        For layers with a finite lifetime (e.g., episodic), the time at which the
        layer becomes eligible for cleanup. Set by the system; unset for
        persistent layers.

      - `systemManaged: optional boolean`

        Server-set. True for layers managed by the system (e.g., episodic layers
        created automatically when an objective uses an episodic_key). System-managed
        layers cannot be assigned to objective stacks via the API and cannot be
        mutated by clients — their lifecycle is controlled entirely by the runtime.

    - `info: optional object { createdBy, entryCount, lastUsedAt }`

      - `createdBy: optional object { metadata, spec }`

        Profile represents a human user at the account level.
        Profiles are account-scoped resources that can be associated with multiple workspaces
        through the Actor model. Authentication for profiles is handled via SSO/OAuth (WorkOS).

        - `metadata: object { id, accountId, name, 3 more }`

          AccountResourceMetadata is used to represent a resource that is associated to an account but not to a workspace.

          - `id: string`

            Unique identifier for the resource (prefixed ULID, e.g., "apikey_01HXK...")

          - `accountId: string`

            Account this resource belongs to for multi-tenant isolation (prefixed ULID)

          - `name: string`

            Human-readable name for the resource (e.g., "Customer Support Agent", "Email Tool")
            Required for resources that users interact with directly

          - `profileId: string`

          - `externalId: optional string`

            External ID for the resource (e.g., a workflow ID from an external system)

          - `labels: optional map[string]`

            Arbitrary key-value pairs for categorization and filtering
            Examples: {"environment": "production", "team": "platform", "version": "v2"}

        - `spec: object { type, email, name }`

          ProfileSpec contains the profile-specific fields

          - `type: "PROFILE_TYPE_USER" or "PROFILE_TYPE_API_KEY" or "PROFILE_TYPE_SYSTEM"`

            Type is the type of profile. User's are humans, API keys are computers. You know the deal.

            - `"PROFILE_TYPE_USER"`

            - `"PROFILE_TYPE_API_KEY"`

            - `"PROFILE_TYPE_SYSTEM"`

          - `email: optional string`

            Email address of the user (required, unique per account)

          - `name: optional string`

            Display name for the user (e.g., "Bobby Tables")

      - `entryCount: optional number`

        Number of entries currently in this layer.

      - `lastUsedAt: optional string`

        Timestamp of the most recent objective that resolved against this layer.
        Useful for surfacing unused layers in the dashboard.

  - `pagination: optional object { nextCursor, total }`

    - `nextCursor: optional string`

    - `total: optional number`
