#me_memory_context

Inspect the current Memory Engine execution context.

Use this tool when you need to confirm which server, selected space, and principal the MCP server is using, or when you need to choose a readable or writable tree path.

#Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
space	string	varies	Absent in locked mode; required nonempty string in multi-space mode. It selects the same-server space for this call.

Field	Type	Description
server	string	Server URL configured for this MCP server.
activeSpace	string	Present only in locked mode: the space slug sent as X-Me-Space for every call.
mode	string	user or service-account.
space	object	Server-confirmed space id, slug, and display name for this call. In multi-space mode, this is the selected context.
principal	object	Principal the memory tools are acting as. kind is u for user or s for service account.
access	array	Effective tree access paths for the acting principal.

treePath	string	Display path such as /share, ~/notes, or /.
access	integer	Numeric access level: 1 read, 2 write, 3 owner.
accessName	string	read, write, or owner.

#When To Use

• Before storing a memory when the writable tree is unclear.
• When me_memory_search returns fewer results than expected.
• When create, update, move, or delete fails because the chosen tree is not writable.
• When project instructions mention a tree layout but the active space may use different grants.

#Notes

• This is a read-only operation.
• The access list is effective access, not just direct grants. It includes access inherited through groups.
• Empty access means the principal is a member of the space but has no readable or writable tree paths.
