- 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.

This skill indexes agentmemory's MCP tools. Use the connected server's tool inventory and schemas; a native memory provider may expose a smaller set under different names. Hermes and OpenClaw skills that need the full surface require a separate MCP connection to the running daemon.
## 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`, `limit`, and `targetLayer: "memory"` to retrieve saved knowledge later. Omit `targetLayer` to also search captured observations. This runs hybrid BM25 plus vector plus graph-expanded search.
## Tool families
- Capture: `memory_save`, `memory_compress_file`. Automatic observations use native hooks or `POST /agentmemory/observe`, not an MCP observation tool.
- 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.
4. For budgeted `memory_recall`, distinguish `matched_count: 0` from
`excluded_by_budget > 0`. Expand clipped or omitted IDs with
`memory_smart_search` and `expandIds`, preserving the same scope filters.

Full tool table with parameters and the core-set marking lives in REFERENCE.md, generated from source so it never drifts.
