What it does

Delete selected durable memories from agentmemory after showing them and getting explicit confirmation. Use when the user says "forget this", "delete memory", "remove that note", or wants to scrub specific data for privacy.

The user wants to remove data from agentmemory: $ARGUMENTS

Quick start

memory_smart_search { "query": "old api key in config", "targetLayer": "memory", "limit": 20 }

Show the matches, get a yes, then:

memory_governance_delete { "memoryIds": "abc12345,def67890", "reason": "user privacy request" }

Expected output:

Found 2 matching memories. Confirmed. Deleted 2 memories.

Why

This is destructive and irreversible. Show exactly what will be deleted and get an explicit yes before calling delete. Delete by memory ID, never a bare session.

Workflow

  1. Search with memory_smart_search, the user's text as query, targetLayer: "memory", limit: 20, and the requested project/agent scope. These are selected relevance matches, not an exhaustive inventory.
  2. Show what matched: memory ids, titles, and scope. Redact secret values. Ask for explicit confirmation. Do not proceed on silence or a vague "sure, whatever".
  3. On confirmation, call memory_governance_delete with memoryIds as a comma-separated string and optional reason (default plugin skill request).
  4. Observation or whole-session erasure is not supported by this operation. Explain that limit before proceeding; never label selected memory deletion as a complete session wipe. Do not pass observation IDs or a sessionId.
  5. Lessons are separate: delete one with memory_lesson_delete and its lessonId; memory_governance_delete does not touch lessons.
  6. Check deleted, notFound, and failed in the response. Report actual deletions and unresolved IDs separately. Recheck the selected IDs before retrying a failed request; an interrupted response may hide a completed write.

Anti-patterns

WRONG: search returns matches, you immediately call memory_governance_delete without showing them or waiting for a yes.

RIGHT: list the matches, ask "Delete these 2? (yes/no)", and only delete after an explicit yes.
