Gets a memory.

**Not available yet.** Sylphx Agents is declared in the registry but no backend serves it: every call answers `501` with the problem code `UNIMPLEMENTED`.

- **Path** `GET https://api.sylphx.com/v1/orgs/acme/projects/shop/envs/production/memory_stores/memory-store/memories/memory`
- **Scope** `agents:sessions`
- **Effect** `read` — nothing is written.
- **Collection** [memories](/docs/api/memories)

## Request

| Field | Type | What it is |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `name` | `string` | The name of the memory to get. Required. |

## Response

| Field | Type | What it is |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `name` | `string` | `orgs/{org}/projects/{project}/envs/{env}/memory_stores/{memory_store}/memories/{memory}`. |
| `uid` | `string` | `mem_<cell><ulid>`; never reused. Output only. |
| `meta` | `ResourceMeta` | Resource metadata. |
| `content` | `string` | The memory, at most 16 KiB of text. Required. |
| `end_user` | `string` | The end user it is about, for a store scoped to end users. |
| `agent` | `string` | The agent it belongs to, for a store scoped to agents. |
| `provenance` | `MemoryProvenance` | Where it came from. Output only. |
| `create_time` | `timestamp` | When it was written. Output only. |
| `update_time` | `timestamp` | When it was last changed. Output only. |

### ResourceMeta

| Field | Type | What it is |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `generation` | `int64` | Increases by one on every change to `spec`. Output only. |
| `etag` | `string` | Strong ETag (AIP-154): changes on any change to spec, status, or metadata. Send it back as `If-Match` or `etag` to make Update and Delete conditional; a mismatch fails with ABORTED / 409 `ETAG_MISMATCH`. Output only. |
| `create_time` | `timestamp` | When the Resource was created. Output only. |
| `update_time` | `timestamp` | When the Resource last changed. Output only. |
| `delete_time` | `timestamp` | Set while the Resource is being deleted. Output only. |

| `display_name` | `string` | Caller-writable human-readable name. |
| `creator` | `string` | The principal that created the Resource. Output only. |

### MemoryProvenance

| Field | Type | What it is |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `source` | `MemorySource` | Who wrote it. Output only. One of `agent`, `api`, `import`. |
| `session` | `string` | The session it was learned in, when an agent wrote it. Output only. |
| `event` | `string` | The event it was learned from, when an agent wrote it. Output only. |
| `principal` | `string` | The principal that wrote it, when a caller did. Output only. |

## Errors

- [`UNAUTHENTICATED`](/docs/api/errors/UNAUTHENTICATED) — No valid key or token was presented.
- [`PERMISSION_DENIED`](/docs/api/errors/PERMISSION_DENIED) — The key lacks the method's permission.
- [`RESOURCE_NOT_FOUND`](/docs/api/errors/RESOURCE_NOT_FOUND) — The named Resource does not exist or is not visible.

Every error arrives in the body [Errors](/docs/platform/errors) describes.
