Remove a memory from the Engram memory MCP server.

Steps

1. Parse $ARGUMENTS — it may be a numeric memory ID (e.g., "42") or a search query.
2. If it's a numeric ID: call graph(id: <id>, depth: 1) to show the memory and its connections, then confirm with the user before deleting.
3. If it's a search query: recall(query: "$ARGUMENTS", limit: 5) to find candidates. Present results and ask the user which one(s) to forget.
4. After confirmation, call forget(id: <id>) for each memory to remove.
5. Report what was deleted.

Safety

• Always show the memory content and ask for confirmation before deleting.
• Warn if the memory has graph connections (part_of, relates_to, etc.) that will be orphaned.
• Suggest update as an alternative if the memory just needs correction rather than removal.
