List memory entries

GET/v1/memory_layers/{memoryLayerId}/entries

Lists all entries in a memory layer

Path ParametersExpand Collapse
memoryLayerId: string
Query ParametersExpand Collapse
cursor: optional string

Pagination cursor from previous response

includeInfo: 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

formatint32
prefix: optional string

Filter by key prefix (e.g., "skills/postmortem/" to list all entries under that hierarchy). Matches against the entry's key, not its name.

sortOrder: optional string

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

ReturnsExpand Collapse
items: optional array of MemoryEntry { metadata, spec, info }
metadata: ResourceMetadata { 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

formatdate-time
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: MemoryEntrySpec { key, description, title }

MemoryEntrySpec is the metadata portion of an entry — the fields that identify and describe it, without the body. It appears on both the summary (MemoryEntry) and detail (MemoryEntryDetail) views.

key: string

The lookup key for this entry within its layer. Must conform to the S3 object key safe-characters spec: ASCII alphanumerics and the special characters !, -, _, ., *, ', (, ), and /. Forward slashes may be used to suggest hierarchy (e.g., "skills/postmortem/write"), but lookups are flat — the key is a single opaque string, not a path.

Additional rules enforced by the service:

  • May not begin or end with /
  • May not contain consecutive slashes (//)
  • May not begin with reserved prefixes (cadenya/, system/)
  • Case-sensitive
  • Unique within the parent layer

For skills entries, this key is also the id the model passes to memory_load_skill when it decides to load the entry's content.

description: optional string

One-line "when to use this" hint shown in the frontmatter manifest for skills entries. The model uses this to decide whether to load the body, so it should be written for the model as the audience. Ignored for layer types that do not advertise frontmatter.

title: optional string

Short human/LLM-readable title shown in the frontmatter manifest for skills entries. Ignored for layer types that do not advertise frontmatter.

info: optional MemoryEntryInfo { createdBy, memoryLayer }
createdBy: optional Profile { 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: AccountResourceMetadata { 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: ProfileSpec { 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.

formatenum
One of the following:
"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")

memoryLayer: optional ResourceMetadata { 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

formatdate-time
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"}
