Provena Agent Memory tools (7, 1 write)

write = sends, deletes, buys or posts

Read from the package source without running it. The installed server may list more.

  • memory_capture_turn

    Capture and extract facts from one host conversation turn; output remains low-authority candidate memory.

  • memory_context

    Get attributed, exact-scope memory context relevant to the current request, including candidate status and source authority.

  • memory_explain

    Show the claim, original evidence, authority, review actions, conflicts, and retrieval history.

  • memory_propose_claimwrite action

    Create a candidate claim backed by an event in the configured scope. Human review is required to activate it.

  • memory_record_event

    Preserve agent-supplied source text as a low-authority event; this does not create a durable active claim.

  • memory_remember

    Atomically save an agent-supplied event and candidate claim; return IDs, authority, and status.

  • memory_search

    Retrieve semantically relevant reviewed or provisional claims with status, IDs, and source authority.

Provena

Evidence-backed persistent memory for AI agents. Know what an agent remembers, where it came from, and why it was retrieved.

Provena gives Codex, Claude Code, Gemini CLI, custom agents, and other MCP clients a shared long-term memory layer with explicit provenance. It stores source events separately from structured claims, links every claim to immutable evidence, records review and retrieval history, and keeps source authority separate from semantic relevance.

The result is agent context that can be inspected, challenged, scoped, and explained instead of an opaque collection of vector matches.

What is Provena?

Provena is a memory service and integration harness for AI-assisted development workflows. It sits between an agent host and durable storage through REST, MCP, or lifecycle hooks.

The harness is responsible for:

  • capturing selected user and assistant turns as immutable source events;
  • accepting explicit, structured memories from an agent or application;
  • extracting candidate facts with a configured local or hosted model;
  • retrieving relevant claims from one exact organization and scope;
  • returning source attribution, status, and authority with retrieved context; and
  • recording which claims were delivered during each retrieval.

Provena does not execute an agent's code or tasks. Its role in the execution context is to make memory capture and context assembly traceable. Retrieval records improve reproducibility by showing which stored claims were supplied to an agent, but Provena does not currently replay a model run or prove that a retrieved claim influenced a later action.

Core model

Claims can be candidates, active, verified, conflicted, superseded, quarantined, expired, ephemeral, or deleted. Changing state never erases the claim's source evidence.

Why Provenance Matters

Agent memory can be relevant and still be wrong, stale, speculative, or malicious. A vector result alone cannot answer who asserted a fact, what the original source said, whether a human reviewed it, or which execution context received it.

Provena preserves those distinctions:

Shortened. The full README is on GitHub.
