forget
Delete specific memories from a memory space by providing their IDs. Use fetch_history or recall to identify targets, then remove them permanently.
Instructions
Request deletion of specific memories from a space. Use fetch_history or recall to identify targets first — results may include a parent_id (memcell ID) which is the effective delete key used by EverMemOS Cloud. The server resolves parent_id automatically when available (recent 100 items per type). Verify deletion afterwards with fetch_history; some IDs may remain unmatched if the memory was already deleted or outside the resolution window.
Tool call template

}Input Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| reason | No | Optional reason for deletion | |
| user_id | No | Optional user ID for input validation. Note: not sent to Cloud DELETE due to upstream compatibility. | |
| space_id | Yes | Memory space containing the memories | |
| memory_ids | Yes | Memory identifiers to delete. Can be either the memory id or the parent_id (memcell ID) from fetch_history/recall results. The server attempts to resolve to the correct memcell ID for deletion; if resolution fails (e.g. old memory beyond the 100-item scan window), the original id is sent as-is. |
