## Update a memory

`client.Beta.MemoryStores.Memories.Update(ctx, memoryID, params) (*BetaManagedAgentsMemory, error)`

**post** `/v1/memory_stores/{memory_store_id}/memories/{memory_id}`

Update a memory

### Parameters

- `memoryID string`

- `params BetaMemoryStoreMemoryUpdateParams`

  - `MemoryStoreID param.Field[string]`

    Path param: Path parameter memory_store_id

  - `View param.Field[BetaManagedAgentsMemoryView]`

    Query param: Query parameter for view

  - `Content param.Field[string]`

    Body param: New UTF-8 text content for the memory. Maximum 100 kB (102,400 bytes). Omit to leave the content unchanged (e.g., for a rename-only update).

  - `Path param.Field[string]`

    Body param: New path for the memory (a rename). Must start with `/`, contain at least one non-empty segment, and be at most 1,024 bytes. Must not contain empty segments, `.` or `..` segments, control or format characters, and must be NFC-normalized. Paths are case-sensitive. The memory's `id` is preserved across renames. Omit to leave the path unchanged.

  - `Precondition param.Field[BetaManagedAgentsPrecondition]`

    Body param: Optimistic-concurrency precondition: the update applies only if the memory's stored `content_sha256` equals the supplied value. On mismatch, the request returns `memory_precondition_failed_error` (HTTP 409); re-read the memory and retry against the fresh state. If the precondition fails but the stored state already exactly matches the requested `content` and `path`, the server returns 200 instead of 409.

  - `Betas param.Field[[]AnthropicBeta]`

    Header param: Optional header to specify the beta version(s) you want to use.

### Returns

- `type BetaManagedAgentsMemory struct{…}`

  A `memory` object: a single text document at a hierarchical path inside a memory store. The `content` field is populated when `view=full` and `null` when `view=basic`; the `content_size_bytes` and `content_sha256` fields are always populated so sync clients can diff without fetching content. Memories are addressed by their `mem_...` ID; the path is the create key and can be changed via update.

  - `ID string`

    Unique identifier for this memory (a `mem_...` value). Stable across renames; use this ID, not the path, to read, update, or delete the memory.

  - `ContentSha256 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`.

  - `ContentSizeBytes int64`

    Size of `content` in bytes (the UTF-8 plaintext length). Always populated, regardless of `view`.

  - `CreatedAt Time`

    A timestamp in RFC 3339 format

  - `MemoryStoreID string`

    ID of the memory store this memory belongs to (a `memstore_...` value).

  - `MemoryVersionID string`

    ID of the `memory_version` representing this memory's current content (a `memver_...` value). This is the authoritative head pointer; `memory_version` objects do not carry an `is_latest` flag, so compare against this field instead. Enumerate the full history via [List memory versions](/docs/en/api/beta/memory_stores/memory_versions/list).

  - `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.

  - `Type BetaManagedAgentsMemoryType`

    - `const BetaManagedAgentsMemoryTypeMemory BetaManagedAgentsMemoryType = "memory"`

  - `UpdatedAt Time`

    A timestamp in RFC 3339 format

  - `Content string`

    The memory's UTF-8 text content. Populated when `view=full`; `null` when `view=basic`. Maximum 100 kB (102,400 bytes).

    option.WithAPIKey("my-anthropic-api-key"),
  )
  betaManagedAgentsMemory, err := client.Beta.MemoryStores.Memories.Update(
    context.TODO(),
    "memory_id",
    anthropic.BetaMemoryStoreMemoryUpdateParams{
      MemoryStoreID: "memory_store_id",
    },
  )
  if err != nil {
    panic(err.Error())
  }
  fmt.Printf("%+v\n", betaManagedAgentsMemory.ID)
}
