adk-inspeximus

A Google ADK memory service backed by inspeximus.

ADK's built-in InMemoryMemoryService says what it is in its own docstring: "for prototyping purpose only. Uses keyword matching instead of semantic search." The alternatives shipped with ADK are Vertex AI services. This is the local one: a file on disk, no server, no cloud account.

pip install adk-inspeximus

from google.adk.runners import Runner
from adk_inspeximus import InspeximusMemoryService

runner = Runner(
    agent=agent,
    app_name="my_app",
    session_service=session_service,
    memory_service=InspeximusMemoryService(path="memory.json"),
)

Or without writing any Python glue, if you launch through the ADK CLI:

# services.py — loaded by `adk web`
from adk_inspeximus import register
register()                       # enables inspeximus://

adk web --memory_service_uri=inspeximus://memory.json

What it does that the built-in does not

• Survives a restart. The built-in service holds everything in a dict; when the process exits, the memory is gone.
• Erases one user on request. forget_subject_for(app_name, user_id, request_id=...) hard-deletes that user's memories across every session and leaves a content-free tombstone behind, so the deletion is provable and the value is no longer in the bytes on disk. No ADK memory service offers this.
• Ranked retrieval instead of counting shared words.

Parity

ADK ships no conformance suite for BaseMemoryService, so the claim "drop-in replacement" is checked against ADK's own InMemoryMemoryService in adk_audit.py: eight scenarios, three repeats each, covering ingestion, user and app isolation, empty and missed queries, repeated ingestion, incremental event deltas, and retrieval from a store crowded with other users' memories. Running it with ADK_FALSIFY=1 breaks the service on purpose and the checks must fail — without that, the audit would only prove it can print "PASS".

Two of those scenarios failed when the audit was first written, and both are fixed: re-adding a session stored it a second time (ADK documents that a session "may be added multiple times during its lifetime"), and the incremental add_events_to_memory path was not implemented at all.
