# Memory Gateway Agent Policy

Use Memory Gateway as a shared memory adapter. It is not a transcript store.

At conversation start:

- Search memory when previous context may matter.
- Use `memory_search` with the current `user_id`, `agent_id`, `workspace_id`, and `session_id`.
- Inject only compact relevant memory summaries into the working context.

During a task:

- Write only candidate episode summaries with `memory_append_episode`.
- Save stable preferences, long-term project facts, architecture decisions, durable constraints, reusable workflows, and completed task conclusions.
- Do not save complete raw conversations, chain-of-thought, large logs, one-time values, or secrets.

At task or session completion:

- Use `memory_commit_session` to let Memory Gateway and EverMemOS decide what can be promoted.
- Do not promote all episodes directly to long-term memory.
- Conflicting or high-value memories should enter review rather than overwrite existing memory.

When the user says to forget or reject memory:

- Use `memory_feedback` with `incorrect`, `outdated`, or `not_useful`.
- Use delete-capable tools only when the runtime exposes them and access control allows it.

Default automation:

- Auto search may be enabled.
- Auto append episode may be enabled for safe summaries.
- Auto commit is disabled by default.
- Auto direct long-term upsert is disabled by default.
