Implementation Reference

  • Executes the update_memory tool: updates or appends to an existing memory entry using MemoryManager, returns success/error text.
    export async function updateMemory(args: { key: string; value: string; append?: boolean }): Promise<ToolResult> {
      const { key: updateKey, value: updateValue, append = false } = args;
    
      try {
        const mm = MemoryManager.getInstance();
        const existingMemory = mm.recall(updateKey);
    
        if (existingMemory) {
          const newValue = append ? existingMemory.value + ' ' + updateValue : updateValue;
          mm.update(updateKey, newValue);
    
          return {
            content: [{
              type: 'text',
              text: `✓ ${append ? 'Appended to' : 'Updated'} memory: "${updateKey}"`
            }]
          };
        } else {
          return {
            content: [{ type: 'text', text: `✗ Memory not found: "${updateKey}". Use save_memory to create new memory.` }]
          };
        }
      } catch (error) {
        return {
          content: [{ type: 'text', text: `✗ Error: ${error instanceof Error ? error.message : 'Unknown error'}` }]
        };
      }
    }
  • ToolDefinition for update_memory including input schema (key:string required, value:string required, append?:boolean) and metadata.
    export const updateMemoryDefinition: ToolDefinition = {
      name: 'update_memory',
      description: 'update|modify|change|edit memory - Update existing memory',
      inputSchema: {
        type: 'object',
        properties: {
          key: { type: 'string', description: 'Memory key to update' },
          value: { type: 'string', description: 'New value' },
          append: { type: 'boolean', description: 'Append to existing value' }
        },
        required: ['key', 'value']
      },
      annotations: {
        title: 'Update Memory',
        audience: ['user', 'assistant']
      }
    };
  • src/index.ts:646-647 (registration)
    Registers the handler dispatch for 'update_memory' tool in the executeToolCall switch statement.
    case 'update_memory':
      return await updateMemory(args as any) as CallToolResult;
  • src/index.ts:130-130 (registration)
    Adds updateMemoryDefinition to the tools array used for ListToolsRequestHandler.
    updateMemoryDefinition,
  • src/index.ts:68-68 (registration)
    Imports the updateMemory handler and definition from the tool module.
    import { updateMemory, updateMemoryDefinition } from './tools/memory/updateMemory.js';
