## Patch Memory

**patch** `/v1/memories/{memory_id}/`

Update memory text — supersedes old + creates new.

Metadata-only patches (no `text`) are rejected with 400; the
row's metadata is derived from extraction and isn't editable from
the API yet.

### Path Parameters

- `memory_id: string`

### Body Parameters

- `metadata: optional unknown`

- `text: optional string`

### Returns

- `MemoryItem object { id, memory, agent_id, 7 more }`

  One result item — used in flat search `results` and listings.

  - `id: string`

  - `memory: string`

  - `agent_id: optional string`

  - `categories: optional array of string`

  - `conv_id: optional string`

  - `created_at: optional string`

  - `metadata: optional unknown`

  - `score: optional number`

  - `updated_at: optional string`

  - `user_id: optional string`
