Python SDK for Engram — cognitive memory infrastructure for AI agents

Project description

engram

Python SDK for Engram — cognitive memory infrastructure for AI agents.

Installation

pip install engram.to

The import name is engramfrom engram import Engram.

Quick Start

Set environment variables (the SDK reads these automatically):

export ENGRAM_BASE_URL=http://localhost:8080
export ENGRAM_API_KEY=your-api-key
from engram import Engram, MemoryType, Message

# No args needed — reads ENGRAM_BASE_URL and ENGRAM_API_KEY from env
client = Engram()

# Register an agent
agent = client.agents.create(external_id="assistant-1", name="My Assistant")

# Store a memory
memory = client.memories.store(
    agent_id=agent.id,
    content="User prefers dark mode",
    type=MemoryType.PREFERENCE,
    confidence=0.9,
)

# Recall memories (hybrid vector + graph search)
results = client.memories.recall(
    agent_id=agent.id,
    query="What are the user's UI preferences?",
    top_k=5,
)
for mem in results:
    print(f"[{mem.confidence:.2f}] {mem.content}")

# Extract memories from a conversation
extracted = client.memories.extract(
    agent_id=agent.id,
    conversation=[
        Message(role="user", content="I always use vim keybindings"),
        Message(role="assistant", content="Noted! I'll remember your preference for vim."),
    ],
    auto_store=True,
)

You can also pass values explicitly (overrides env vars):

client = Engram(base_url="http://localhost:8080", api_key="your-api-key")

Async Support

import asyncio
from engram import AsyncEngram

async def main():
    # Reads ENGRAM_BASE_URL and ENGRAM_API_KEY from env
    async with AsyncEngram() as client:
        agent = await client.agents.create(
            external_id="async-agent",
            name="Async Agent",
        )
        memory = await client.memories.store(
            agent_id=agent.id,
            content="User likes Python",
            type="preference",
        )
        print(memory)

asyncio.run(main())

API Reference

Client

Resource Description
client.setup() Bootstrap a new tenant and receive a master API key
client.keys Create, list, and revoke API keys
client.tenants Legacy tenant creation (deprecated — use setup())
client.agents Register and manage AI agents
client.memories Store, recall, and extract semantic memories
client.episodes Record and query episodic experiences
client.procedures Match and learn procedural skills
client.schemas Manage mental models and schemas
client.graph Query entity and relationship graphs
client.cognitive Decay, consolidation, working memory, reflection
client.feedback Submit feedback signals on memories

Memories

# Store
client.memories.store(agent_id=, content=, type=, confidence=, metadata=)

# Retrieve
client.memories.get(memory_id)

# Delete
client.memories.delete(memory_id)

# Hybrid recall (vector + graph)
client.memories.recall(agent_id=, query=, top_k=, type=, min_confidence=, graph_weight=, max_hops=)

# Extract from conversation
client.memories.extract(agent_id=, conversation=, auto_store=)

Episodes

client.episodes.create(agent_id, raw_content, outcome=)
client.episodes.get(episode_id)
client.episodes.recall(agent_id, query=, limit=, min_importance=)
client.episodes.record_outcome(episode_id, outcome, description=)
client.episodes.associations(episode_id)

Procedures

client.procedures.match(agent_id, situation, min_success_rate=, min_confidence=)
client.procedures.get(procedure_id)
client.procedures.learn(episode_id, outcome)
client.procedures.record_outcome(procedure_id, success)

Cognitive Operations

# Memory lifecycle
client.cognitive.decay(agent_id)
client.cognitive.consolidate(agent_id, scope="recent")
client.cognitive.health()                        # aggregate stats, no agent_id

# Working memory
result = client.cognitive.activate(agent_id=, query=, goal=)
client.cognitive.get_session(agent_id)
client.cognitive.update_goal(agent_id, goal=)
client.cognitive.clear_session(agent_id)

# Metacognition
client.cognitive.reflect(agent_id, focus="all")
client.cognitive.detect_uncertainty(agent_id, topic=)
client.cognitive.assess_confidence(agent_id=, query=)

# Confidence management
client.cognitive.get_confidence_stats(memory_id)
client.cognitive.reinforce(memory_id, boost=0.1)
client.cognitive.penalize(memory_id, penalty=0.15)

Graph

client.graph.entities(agent_id)
client.graph.relationships(memory_id, depth=2)
client.graph.traverse(start_ids=["..."], max_depth=3)

Agent Mind State

# Get complete mental state
mind = client.agents.get_mind(agent_id)
print(mind.beliefs)
print(mind.procedures)
print(mind.schemas)
print(mind.stats)

# Tier statistics
stats = client.agents.get_tier_stats(agent_id)
print(f"Hot: {stats.hot_count}, Warm: {stats.warm_count}")

# Hot memories (auto-injected tier)
hot = client.agents.get_hot_memories(agent_id, limit=10)

Setup & Key Management

import os
os.environ["ENGRAM_SETUP_TOKEN"] = "your-setup-token"

# Bootstrap: create a tenant and get a master API key (shown once — store it)
result = client.setup(org_name="Acme Corp")
print(result.api_key)   # mk_<64 hex chars>

# Create a restricted key
key = client.keys.create(name="ci-pipeline", scopes=["read"])
print(key.api_key)      # rk_<64 hex chars> — shown once

# List active keys (prefixes only, never full keys)
keys = client.keys.list()

# Revoke a key (immediate effect)
client.keys.revoke(key.key_id)

Error Handling

from engram import Engram, AuthenticationError, NotFoundError, ValidationError

client = Engram(api_key="mk_...")

try:
    memory = client.memories.get("nonexistent-id")
except NotFoundError:
    print("Memory not found")
except AuthenticationError:
    print("Invalid API key")
except ValidationError as e:
    print(f"Bad request: {e.message}")
