--- title: List Memories url: https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/api/cli/beta/memory_stores/memories/list --- # List Memories `$ ant beta:memory-stores:memories list` **GET** `/v1/memory_stores/{memory_store_id}/memories` List Memories ## Parameters - `--memory-store-id: string` (path parameter) The ID of the memory store to list memories from (`memstore_...`). - `--depth: optional number` (query parameter) How far below `path_prefix` to list. Defaults to `0`, which lists every memory below the prefix. Pass `1` to list only the direct children. Deeper memories are then grouped into `memory_prefix` items. format: int32 - `--limit: optional number` (query parameter) The maximum number of items to return per page, from 1 to 100. Defaults to 20. With `view=full`, a page holds at most 20 items. `memory` and `memory_prefix` items both count toward the limit. format: int32 - `--page: optional string` (query parameter) The `next_page` value from a previous response, to get the next page. Omit it to get the first page. - `--path-prefix: optional string` (query parameter) Return only memories whose path starts with this prefix, such as `/notes/`. This value appears in request URLs. Do not include secrets or personally identifiable information. Omit it to list the whole store. The prefix must end with `/` and matches whole segments, so `/notes/` matches `/notes/todo.md` but not `/notes-archive/todo.md`. - `--view: optional "basic" or "full"` (query parameter) Whether each memory in the response includes `content`. Defaults to `basic`, which sets it to `null`. With `full`, a page holds at most 20 items. - `--beta: optional array of AnthropicBeta` (header parameter) This endpoint is in beta: requests must send `agent-memory-2026-07-22` or `managed-agents-2026-04-01` in this header. - `--workspace-id: optional string` (header parameter) Optional header to select the Workspace for this request. The value is a Workspace ID (for example, `wrkspc_011CZkZaBF1tNoB5wlCeusgy`). Only needed for credentials that can act on more than one Workspace. A credential that belongs to a specific Workspace may omit it; if sent, it must match that Workspace. ## Returns - `BetaManagedAgentsListMemoriesResult: object` A page of results from [List Memories](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/api/beta/memory_stores/memories/list?sdk_languages=cli). - `data: optional array of BetaManagedAgentsMemoryListItem` One page of results. Each item is either a `memory` object or, when `depth` was set, a `memory_prefix` rollup marker. Items are returned in a stable, server-defined order. - `beta_managed_agents_memory: object` A text document at a path inside a memory store. `content` is `null` when the response uses `view=basic`. `content_size_bytes` and `content_sha256` are always set, so you can detect changes without fetching the content. To retrieve, update, or delete a memory, pass its ID, which stays the same when its path changes. See the [memory guide](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/managed-agents/memory?sdk_languages=cli#view-and-edit-memories) to learn more about working with memories. - `type: "memory"` - `id: string` The unique ID of the memory (`mem_...`). It stays the same when the memory's path changes. To retrieve, update, or delete the memory, pass this ID. - `content_sha256: string` Lowercase hex SHA-256 digest of the UTF-8 `content` bytes (64 characters). The server applies no normalization, so clients can compute the same hash locally for staleness checks and as the value for a `content_sha256` precondition on update. Always populated, regardless of `view`. - `content_size_bytes: number` The size of the memory's `content` in UTF-8 bytes. It is set regardless of `view`. format: int32 - `created_at: string` When this memory was created, in RFC 3339 format. format: date-time - `memory_store_id: string` ID of the memory store this memory belongs to (a `memstore_...` value). - `memory_version_id: string` The ID of the memory version that holds the memory's current content (`memver_...`). Memory versions don't have a flag that marks the latest one. Compare their IDs with this field instead. See the [memory guide](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/managed-agents/memory?sdk_languages=cli#audit-memory-changes) to learn more about memory versions. - `path: string` Hierarchical path of the memory within the store, e.g. `/projects/foo/notes.md`. Always starts with `/`. Paths are case-sensitive and unique within a store. Maximum 1,024 bytes. - `updated_at: string` When the memory was last changed, in RFC 3339. To find out who made the change, look at `created_by` on the memory version that `memory_version_id` references. format: date-time - `content: optional string` The memory's UTF-8 text content, or `null` when the response uses `view=basic`. The maximum size is 100 kB (102,400 bytes). - `beta_managed_agents_memory_prefix: object` A directory marker that [List Memories](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/api/beta/memory_stores/memories/list?sdk_languages=cli) returns instead of the memories below the requested `depth`. It stands for one or more memories whose paths start with `path`. It isn't a stored object and doesn't have an ID. Each marker counts toward the page `limit`. - `type: "memory_prefix"` - `path: string` The rolled-up path prefix, including a trailing `/` (e.g. `/projects/foo/`). Pass this value as `path_prefix` on a subsequent list call to drill into the directory. - `next_page: optional string` The value to pass as `page` to get the next page, or `null` if there are no more results. ## Example ```bash ant beta:memory-stores:memories list \ --api-key my-anthropic-api-key \ --memory-store-id memory_store_id ``` ### Response (200) ```json { "data": [ { "id": "mem_011CZkZ9X2dpNyB6YbtxvB6e", "content_sha256": "ba7936d94c84d948a2232088f78228f175df6a8353b2d5bc9228eee5794a0024", "content_size_bytes": 28, "created_at": "2026-03-15T10:00:00Z", "memory_store_id": "memstore_01Wf3kQ8tZxB2mVr7HcJ4aNd", "memory_version_id": "memver_011CZkZBJq5dWxk9fVLNcPht", "path": "/preferences/formatting.md", "type": "memory", "updated_at": "2026-03-15T10:00:00Z", "content": null } ], "next_page": "page_MjAyNS0wNS0xNFQwMDowMDowMFo=" } ```
