# Store a memory

POST https://api.dev.band.ai/api/v1/agent/memories
Content-Type: application/json

Stores a new memory entry, with the authenticated agent as its source.

`scope` names the audience, and each scope requires the field that identifies it:

- `agent` — private to this agent. The default when no `scope` and no `subject_id` is
  given, so an unqualified write is private rather than shared.
- `subject` — readable by any agent in the organization dealing with `subject_id`,
  which is required. The default when a `subject_id` is given without a `scope`.
- `organization` — readable by every agent in the organization. Rejected with 422 when
  the agent belongs to none, since there would be no audience to share it with.


Reference: https://docs-dev.band.ai/api/agent-api/agent-api-memories/create-agent-memory

## Authentication

- `X-API-Key` header (required) — Enter your API key for programmatic access

## Request

### Body (application/json)

This endpoint expects an object.

- `memory` (AgentMemoryCreateRequest, required) — Request to create a new memory

## Response

### 201

Created Memory

- `data` (AgentMemory, optional) — A memory entry stored by an agent

## Errors

### 401 Unauthorized Error

Unauthorized

- `error` (ErrorError, required)

### 422 Unprocessable Entity Error

Validation Error

- `error` (ValidationErrorError, required)

## Types

### AgentMemoryCreateRequest

Request to create a new memory

- `content` (string, required) — The memory content
- `segment` (enum, required) — Logical segment
  - Allowed values: `user`, `agent`, `tool`, `guideline`
- `system` (enum, required) — Memory system tier
  - Allowed values: `sensory`, `working`, `long_term`
- `thought` (string, required) — Agent's reasoning for storing this memory
- `type` (enum, required) — Memory type (must be valid for selected system)
  - Allowed values: `iconic`, `echoic`, `haptic`, `episodic`, `semantic`, `procedural`
- `metadata` (AgentMemoryCreateRequestMetadata, optional) — Additional metadata (tags, references, etc.)
- `scope` (enum, optional) — Who may read this memory: - `agent`: only the agent that stored it - `subject`: any agent in the organization dealing with `subject_id` - `organization`: every agent in the organization (requires the agent to be in one) Omitted, it is `subject` when `subject_id` is given and `agent` otherwise.
  - Allowed values: `agent`, `subject`, `organization`
- `subject_id` (string, optional) — UUID of the subject this memory is about. Required for subject scope.

### AgentMemory

A memory entry stored by an agent

- `content` (string, required) — The memory content
- `id` (string, required) — Memory ID
- `inserted_at` (string, required) — When the memory was created
- `scope` (enum, required) — Visibility scope of the memory
  - Allowed values: `agent`, `subject`, `organization`
- `segment` (enum, required) — Logical segment of the memory
  - Allowed values: `user`, `agent`, `tool`, `guideline`
- `system` (enum, required) — Memory system tier
  - Allowed values: `sensory`, `working`, `long_term`
- `type` (enum, required) — Memory type within the system
  - Allowed values: `iconic`, `echoic`, `haptic`, `episodic`, `semantic`, `procedural`
- `metadata` (AgentMemoryMetadata, optional, nullable) — Additional metadata
- `organization_id` (string, optional, nullable) — Organization this memory is shared within. Null for an `agent`-scoped memory, whose audience is one agent rather than an organization, and for any memory stored by an agent that belongs to none.
- `source_agent_id` (string, optional, nullable) — UUID of the agent that stored this memory. Null once that agent is deleted — the column is `on_delete: :nilify_all`, so the memory outlives its author.
- `status` (enum, optional) — Memory lifecycle status
  - Allowed values: `active`, `superseded`, `archived`
- `subject_id` (string, optional, nullable) — UUID of the subject this memory is about (user or agent)
- `thought` (string, optional, nullable) — Agent's reasoning for storing this memory

### ErrorError

- `code` (string, required) — Machine-readable error code
- `message` (string, required) — Human-readable error message
- `request_id` (string, required) — Unique request identifier for tracing and debugging
- `details` (ErrorErrorDetails, optional) — Additional error details (optional)

### ValidationErrorError

- `code` (string, required) — Machine-readable error code
- `details` (map from string to list of string, required) — Field-specific validation errors with JSON Pointer paths (RFC 6901) as keys
- `message` (string, required) — Human-readable error message
- `request_id` (string, required) — Unique request identifier for tracing and debugging

### AgentMemoryCreateRequestMetadata

Additional metadata (tags, references, etc.)

- `references` (list of string, optional) — Related memory IDs
- `tags` (list of string, optional) — Tags for categorization

### AgentMemoryMetadata

Additional metadata

### ErrorErrorDetails

Additional error details (optional)
