Update Memory
update_memoryIdempotent
Update stored memories to correct inaccuracies or add missing details. Modify content, tags, importance, and metadata to keep information accurate.
Instructions
Update an existing memory's content, tags, importance, or metadata. Use this to correct or enhance memories rather than storing duplicates.
When to use:
To correct inaccurate information in a memory
To add tags that were forgotten
To adjust importance based on new understanding
To add metadata after the fact
Examples:
update_memory({ memory_id: "abc123", importance: 0.95 }) // Increase importance
update_memory({ memory_id: "abc123", tags: ["project-x", "critical", "auth"] }) // Add tags
update_memory({ memory_id: "abc123", content: "Updated: PostgreSQL chosen for ACID + team expertise" })
