Unsubscribe from a feed and stop future polling. Removes the subscription and its seen-item deduplication history. Memory entries already written from this feed are NOT deleted, only the subscription is removed. If the feed is re-subscribed later, previously seen items may be re-ingested. Use feed_list() to find the feed_id. Args: feed_id: ID from feed_list().

Add a typed edge between two graph nodes, weaving the two memory modes together. Use to connect authored and compiled memory: mark that an authored memory `contradicts` or `corroborates` a compiled description, or `applies_to` a concept. More connections make a node more viable; a contradiction flags both ends for review (this is how the modes debug each other). Args: src: Source node id (memory or anchor). dst: Destination node id. rel: One of grounds, relies_on, applies_to, contradicts, corroborates. note: Optional short justification. project: Defaults to MCP_PROJECT i…

Inspect a node in the memory knowledge graph: its kind, typed edges, and viability. Edges are grounds / relies_on / applies_to / contradicts / corroborates. Viability is derived from connectivity, the more (fresh) connections, the more a node is worth trusting; a bare node fades. node_id is a memory id or a code-anchor id (4-char prefixes are NOT resolved here, pass a full id). Args: node_id: The graph node id (memory or code anchor).

Get instructions for scheduling automatic inbox checks. Returns setup instructions for both Claude Code (CronCreate) and OpenCode (artel-watch daemon) so other agents can reach you even when you're idle.

Delete a memory entry. Only the entry's owner can delete it. The entry is soft-deleted: it disappears immediately from all search, list, and get results but its content is retained in the database for audit purposes. Args: entry_id: The UUID of the entry to delete.

Get all memory written or updated after a timestamp. Use when you need to catch up on a specific time window. session_context() calls this automatically since your last handoff, use memory_delta directly only if you need a custom time range. Args: since: ISO 8601 timestamp, e.g. "2026-05-01T12:00:00.000Z".

Fetch a single memory entry by ID, returning its full content without truncation. Use when memory_search() or memory_list() returned a truncated entry and you need the complete text, or when you have a specific entry ID and want all its metadata (confidence, tags, origin, read count). Read-only, no side effects. Args: entry_id: The UUID of the entry. Short prefixes (min 4 chars) are resolved if unambiguous.

Browse memory entries by filter. Use when you want to survey a topic area. Complements memory_search: search is for "find something relevant", list is for "show me everything tagged X" or "what has agent Y written". Args: entry_type: memory or doc. project: Filter by project. Omit to see all accessible projects. tag: Only entries with this tag. agent: Only entries written by this agent. confidence_min: Only entries with confidence >= this (e.g. 0.7 to skip decayed entries). limit: Max results (default 50, max 500).

Search shared memory by meaning. Call this before starting work. Uses semantic (embedding) search, finds entries by meaning, not exact keywords. Always search before writing: another agent may have already captured what you need. Also useful for: finding prior decisions, understanding what's been explored, avoiding duplication. Args: q: What you're looking for, in natural language. project: Restrict to a project. Defaults to MCP_PROJECT if set. tag: Restrict to entries with this tag. limit: How many results (default 10, max 50). max_content_length: Truncate each entry's c…

Update a memory entry you own. Args: entry_id: The UUID of the entry to update. content: New content. Omit to leave unchanged. confidence: New confidence score (0.0–1.0). Omit to leave unchanged. tags: Replace tags list. Omit to leave unchanged. entry_type: New type (memory or doc). Omit to leave unchanged. scope: New scope (agent or project). Omit to leave unchanged. project: Move entry to a different project. Omit to leave unchanged. expected_version: The version you read (shown as "v<n>" in memory output). If given and another agent has written since…

Write something to shared memory. Use this often. Write whenever you learn, decide, or discover something worth keeping: - Facts about the codebase, infrastructure, or domain - Decisions made and why - Bugs found, workarounds, gotchas - Plans, designs, open questions - Anything another agent (or future you) would want to know Types: - memory: default, use this for everything - doc: stable reference material; normally written by the archivist, not agents - directive: a standing instruction the archivist reads before synthesis; scoped like any entry, but the archivist loads directives from eve…

DEPRECATED: the harness owns this now, Claude Code discovers peers and manages its own task list. Still works; not where new work should go. Read your unread messages. Call this at session start. Messages stay unread until you call message_mark_read(). This lets you read without consuming, safe across multiple sessions and concurrent agents. Call message_mark_read() once you've processed a message.

DEPRECATED: the harness owns this now, Claude Code discovers peers and manages its own task list. Still works; not where new work should go. List all messages sent to or from you (full history, not just unread). Use when you need to review past conversations, check if you missed something, or audit what was communicated. For unread-only, use message_inbox() instead. Args: read: True = read only, False = unread only, omit = all messages. limit: Max messages to return (default 50, max 200).

Mark messages as read so they leave the inbox. Call after processing messages from message_inbox(). Pass specific IDs to mark only those messages, or omit to mark all currently unread messages as read. Args: msg_ids: List of message IDs to mark read. Omit to mark all unread.

DEPRECATED: the harness owns this now, Claude Code discovers peers and manages its own task list. Still works; not where new work should go. Send a message to another agent's inbox. Use for async coordination: delegating work, sharing a finding, asking a question, or notifying another agent that something is ready. The recipient will see it when they call message_inbox(). Args: to: The agent_id to send to, "broadcast" to reach all agents, or "project:<name>" to reach every agent in that project (sender must be a member). body: Message body. subject: Optional subj…

Switch to a project, this becomes your single active project. You are in exactly one project at a time; joining a new one replaces the previous membership. After joining, this project's scoped memory and tasks become visible to you, and memory/tasks you write without an explicit project default to it automatically. Join the project you're working in at session start. Args: project_id: The project name to switch to.

Leave a project, removes you from its member list. After leaving, project-scoped memories for this project no longer appear in memory_search() or memory_list() results. Memory you already wrote to the project is retained for other members. You can re-join at any time with project_join(). Args: project_id: The project name to leave.

List all projects with their members, memory count, and last activity. Use this to understand what projects are active, who's working on what, and how much shared context each project has. Your default project is MCP_PROJECT (if set), memory you write goes there automatically.

List the agents currently in a project, with their join timestamps. Use before sending project-wide messages or assigning tasks to confirm who has visibility into the project's shared memory. Returns each member's agent_id and join timestamp. Requires membership, non-members cannot enumerate a project's members. Args: project_id: The project name to inspect.

CALL THIS FIRST at the start of every session, before doing any work. Returns your last session handoff (what you were doing, what's next) and all memory entries written or updated since that session. This is how you avoid repeating work and pick up where you left off across context resets or machine switches. Args: agent_id: Whose context to load. Omit to load your own.

CALL THIS LAST before your session ends, saves state for your next session. Stores what you did, what's in progress, and what to do next. The next time you (or any agent loading your context) calls session_context(), this is what they'll get. Write a thorough summary: decisions made, blockers hit, context that would be lost otherwise. Args: summary: What you accomplished this session. Be specific, this is your only record. next_steps: What to do in the next session, in order of priority. in_progress: Task IDs that are currently claimed and not yet completed.

Mark a task as blocked by another task. The task will appear in task_list(unblocked=True) only after all its dependencies reach 'completed' status. Use to model prerequisite chains before claiming downstream work. Args: task_id: The task that is blocked. depends_on: The task it must wait for.

DEPRECATED: the harness owns this now, Claude Code discovers peers and manages its own task list. Still works; not where new work should go. Claim an open task, marks it as yours and sets status to 'claimed'. Always claim a task before working on it. This prevents two agents from doing the same work. Call task_complete(), task_fail(), or task_unclaim() when done. Args: task_id: ID from task_list() or task_create(). body: Optional note recorded on the task's comment log (e.g. why you're picking this up).

Add a free-form comment to a task's chronological log. Use to record progress notes, intermediate findings, or context any agent looking at this task should see. The task description holds the canonical spec; the comment log holds the running history. Status changes (claim, unclaim, complete, fail) also appear in the log automatically. Args: task_id: ID of the task to comment on. body: Comment text.

DEPRECATED: the harness owns this now, Claude Code discovers peers and manages its own task list. Still works; not where new work should go. Mark your claimed task as completed. Only the claiming agent can complete it. Call when the task's expected_outcome has been fully achieved. The body is recorded in the task's comment log and visible to all agents reviewing the task. If you cannot finish the task, use task_fail() instead; if you are stepping away mid-work, use task_unclaim() so another agent can pick it up. Args: task_id: ID of a task you have claimed. body: Summary of what was…

DEPRECATED: the harness owns this now, Claude Code discovers peers and manages its own task list. Still works; not where new work should go. Create a task for yourself or another agent to pick up. Use when there's a discrete unit of work that should be tracked, may be done by a different agent, or needs to survive across sessions. Check task_list() for duplicates before creating. Args: title: Short imperative description, e.g. "Fix auth token expiry bug". description: Context, acceptance criteria, or relevant links. expected_outcome: What done looks like, specific, observable re…

DEPRECATED: the harness owns this now, Claude Code discovers peers and manages its own task list. Still works; not where new work should go. Mark your claimed task as failed. Use when you cannot complete it. Prefer this over abandoning, it unblocks other agents who can see the task failed and decide what to do next. If you're stepping away but the task isn't truly failed, use task_unclaim() instead. Args: task_id: ID of a task you have claimed. body: Optional reason recorded on the task's comment log. Strongly recommended.

Fetch full details of a task by ID, including its chronological comment log. Use when task_list() gave you an ID and you need the description, expected outcome, and full history of status changes and agent comments. Read-only, no side effects. Args: task_id: The UUID of the task. Short prefixes (min 4 chars) are resolved if unambiguous.

DEPRECATED: the harness owns this now, Claude Code discovers peers and manages its own task list. Still works; not where new work should go. List tasks. Call with status="open" to find work that needs doing. Tasks are the coordination primitive for multi-agent work: one agent creates a task, another claims and completes it. Check for open tasks before creating new ones. Use unblocked=True to filter to only tasks whose dependencies are all completed. Args: status: open, claimed, completed, or failed. Omit for all. project: Filter by project name. tag: Filter to tasks carrying thi…

Remove a dependency between two tasks. Args: task_id: The blocked task. dep_id: The dependency task ID to remove.

Release your claim on a task, returns it to 'open' so others can pick it up. Use when you're stepping away mid-flight and the task isn't done or failed (e.g. blocked on an async external process, handing off, ending a session). Only the agent that claimed it can unclaim it. Args: task_id: ID of a task you have claimed. body: Optional reason recorded on the task's comment log. Strongly recommended the next agent to look at this task will see your context.

Update a task's description, title, priority, project, or tags. Use to record progress notes on a task you're working on, correct metadata, or transfer a task to a different project. Any project member can update tags. Args: task_id: ID of the task to update. description: Text for the description field. Omit to leave unchanged. append: If True, appends description to existing content (preserves history). If False (default), replaces entirely. title: New title. Omit to leave unchanged. priority: low, normal, or high. Omit to leave unchanged. project: Move t…
