Smara tools (5, 1 write)
write = sends, deletes, buys or postsRead from the package source without running it. The installed server may list more.
delete_memorywrite actionDelete a specific memory by ID. Use when a user asks to forget something.
get_usageCheck current memory usage — plan, limits, and how many memories are stored. Useful for monitoring quota.
get_user_contextRetrieve a pre-formatted context string for a user, ready to inject into an LLM system prompt. Ranked by Temporal Memory Scoring. Can be called without a query to get the most important recent memories.
search_memoriesSemantic search across stored memories for a user. Ranked by Temporal Memory Scoring — balances semantic relevance with memory freshness and importance.
store_memoryStore a fact or preference about a user. Smara handles deduplication and contradiction detection automatically. Use importance 0.1-0.3 for trivia, 0.5 for general facts, 0.7-1.0 for critical preferences.

How It Works
Smara uses Temporal Memory Scoring™ — a proprietary ranking system that makes AI memory work like human recall. Memories naturally fade over time, modulated by importance and access patterns. Recent, critical memories surface first. Stale, trivial ones fade. Contradictions are auto-detected and resolved.
