#me_memory_get

Retrieve a single memory by its ID.

Returns the full memory including content, tree, name, meta, temporal, and embedding status. Use after search to get full details, or before update to see current state. To fetch a named memory by its tree/name path instead, use me_memory_get_by_path.

#Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
id	string	yes	The UUID of the memory to retrieve.

#Returns

The full memory object:

{
  "id": "0194a000-0001-7000-8000-000000000001",
  "content": "PostgreSQL 18 supports native UUID v7 generation.",
  "meta": { "topic": "database" },
  "tree": "/notes/postgres",
  "name": "uuidv7",
  "temporal": null,
  "version": 1,
  "versionHash": "5f3e9c2a8b1d4f7e0c3a6b9d2e5f8c1a",
  "hasEmbedding": true,
  "createdAt": "2025-04-15T12:00:00Z",
  "createdBy": "user_abc",
  "updatedAt": null
}

Field	Type	Description
id	string	UUIDv7 identifier.
content	string	The memory content.
meta	object	Metadata key-value pairs (empty {} if none).
tree	string	Tree path (canonical /-form; / if root).
name	string | null	The leaf name, or null if unnamed.
temporal	object | null	Time range with start and end, or null.
version	integer	Monotonically increasing logical-payload version.
versionHash	string	32-char md5 hex over tree, name, meta, temporal, content. Pass back as version_hash to me_memory_update for optimistic concurrency control.
hasEmbedding	boolean	Whether a vector embedding has been computed.
createdAt	string	ISO 8601 creation timestamp.
createdBy	string | null	The user that created the memory.
updatedAt	string | null	ISO 8601 timestamp of last update, or null.

#Example

{
  "id": "0194a000-0001-7000-8000-000000000001"
}

#Notes

• Returns an error if the memory does not exist or the caller lacks access.
• Useful for fetching the current state before performing an update. The returned versionHash is the value to pass back as version_hash to me_memory_update.
