Vanguard Memory Node tools (11, 1 write)
write = sends, deletes, buys or postsRead from the package source without running it. The installed server may list more.
vmn_deletewrite actionDelete a memory object from the local vault by its SHA-256 root hash. This is permanent.
vmn_index_statusReturn the current status of the BM25 inverted index. Indicates if a rebuild is needed.
vmn_ingestIngest text into the local Vanguard Memory Vault. Returns a SHA-256 shard hash.
vmn_ingest_fileIngest new content from a file into the vault, tracking progress with a cursor so only new lines are ingested on each call. Safe to call repeatedly — only the delta since the last call is stored.
vmn_inspectInspect the catalog metadata for a specific memory shard by its SHA-256 root hash.
vmn_listList all memory objects in the local vault. Optionally filter by namespace.
vmn_rebuild_indexRebuild the BM25 inverted index from existing vault objects. Safe to run at any time — objects are never modified.
vmn_recallRecall evidence from a local Vanguard Memory shard using deterministic xLMP lexical search.
vmn_searchSearch across all memory objects in the vault by keyword query. Returns candidate roots. Use vmn_recall with a specific root to retrieve full evidence.
vmn_statsReturn statistics about the local Vanguard Memory Vault.
vmn_sync_vaultSync a local memory object to the ExergyNet LNES-17 vault. Requires EXERGYNET_API_KEY env var.
