- Pins or unpins a memory to protect it from pruning during dream consolidation. Use when a memory is critical and must never be removed, such as architecture decisions, security constraints, or immutable team conventions.
# Mem0 Pin
Pin a memory to mark it as high-priority and protect from pruning.
## Execution
### Step 1: Find the memory
The user provides either a search query or memory ID.
**If memory ID:**
- Call `get_memory` with the ID.
**If search query:**
- Call `search_memories` with the query, `filters={"AND": [{"user_id": "<id>"}, {"app_id": "<pid>"}]}`, `top_k=5`.
- Show numbered list with content previews.
- Ask: "Which memory to pin? Enter a number."
### Step 2: Read current content
Call `get_memory` with the selected memory ID. Store:
- `original_text` — the memory's text content
- `original_metadata` — the existing `metadata` dict
### Step 3: Pin it
The MCP `update_memory` tool only accepts `memory_id`, `text`, and `source` — it
does not accept a `metadata` parameter. To pin, append a pin marker to the text:
```python
pinned_text = "[PINNED] " + original_text if not original_text.startswith("[PINNED]") else original_text
update_memory(memory_id=<selected_id>, text=pinned_text)
```
**For new memories** (user wants to pin text that isn't stored yet):
1. Call `add_memory` with:
- `text="[PINNED] <the user's text>"`
- `user_id=<active_user_id>`
- `app_id=<active_project_id>`
- `metadata={"pinned": true, "type": "decision", "confidence": 1.0}`
- `infer=False`
2. The response contains `event_id`. Call `get_event_status(event_id=<event_id>)` once to retrieve the memory ID, then confirm.
### Step 4: Confirm
```
Pinned: "<memory content, first 80 chars>"
Memory ID: <id>
```
Append `...` only if content exceeds 80 characters.
### Unpin
If the user says "unpin":
1. Call `get_memory` to read current content.
2. Remove the pin marker from the text:
```python
unpinned_text = original_text.removeprefix("[PINNED] ")
update_memory(memory_id=<id>, text=unpinned_text)
```
3. Print: `Unpinned: "<content>..."`
