Category & Scope

Tools & Capabilities Breakdown

Saihm MCP Tools (8)

saihm_remember

Store information in SAIHM persistent encrypted memory. Use this when a fact, decision, or piece of context should outlive the current session. Returns the cell id that saihm_forget takes.

saihm_recall

Retrieve memories from the SAIHM encrypted store; the operator decrypts and returns plaintext, and this client holds no keys. Use at the start of a session, or whenever past context is needed. Pass a keyword to filter, or leave empty to load all.

saihm_forget

Cryptographically erase one memory by its cell id (GDPR Art. 17). Destroying the key makes the content unreadable to everyone, the operator included. Irreversible: use it when erasure is the intent, not to tidy a working set.

saihm_status

Show the current SAIHM session: agent identity, tier, the prs and bfsi scores, storage by tier, and sharing state, as far as the operator reports them — a non-custodial operator cannot see stored-byte totals. Use it to check the agent identity, custody mode, and what the operator reports about storage and sharing.
