Tools & Capabilities Breakdown

Memory Arbiter MCP Tools (4)

memory

Daily memory operations: remember, find, read, update, submit conflict judgment, and status. Use `action=help` for command-specific fields.

memory_review

Read-only inspection: overview, doctor, conflicts, conflict detail, judgments, history, expired memories, audit, and entities.

memory_govern

Explicit user-authorized governance: retire a whole memory, resolve a conflict, confirm a memory, correct a judgment, and govern workspace aliases / pending workspaces. Do not use for ordinary updates.

memory_repair

Maintenance and repair: split, rebuild claims/embeddings, cleanup, vector resync, entity backfill, and pending activation. Prefer dry-run first.
