Gets a memory store.

**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`
- **Scope** `agents:read`
- **Effect** `read` — nothing is written.
- **Collection** [memory_stores](/docs/api/memory_stores)

## Request

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

## Response

| Field | Type | What it is |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `name` | `string` | `orgs/{org}/projects/{project}/envs/{env}/memory_stores/{memory_store}`. |
| `uid` | `string` | `mst_<cell><ulid>`; never reused. Output only. |
| `meta` | `ResourceMeta` | Resource metadata. |
| `spec` | `MemoryStoreSpec` | Desired state. Required. |
| `status` | `MemoryStoreStatus` | Observed state. 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. |
| `labels` | `map<string, string>` | Caller-writable, indexed labels (AIP-122 label rules). |
| `annotations` | `map<string, string>` | Caller-writable, unindexed annotations. |
| `display_name` | `string` | Caller-writable human-readable name. |
| `creator` | `string` | The principal that created the Resource. Output only. |

### MemoryStoreSpec

| Field | Type | What it is |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `description` | `string` | What the store is for, shown to agents; at most 1024 characters. |
| `scope` | `MemoryScope` | Whose memories are kept apart. Required. One of `project`, `agent`, `end_user`. |
| `retention` | `duration` | Memories older than this since their last update are deleted, 1d to 3650d; unset keeps them until deleted. |
| `agent_writes` | `bool` | Whether agents write memories themselves after each turn; otherwise only callers write them. |

### MemoryStoreStatus

| Field | Type | What it is |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `observed_generation` | `int64` | The generation this status was computed from. Output only. |
| `conditions` | `Condition[]` | Ready, Reconciling, Stalled. Output only. |
| `memory_count` | `int64` | The number of memories. Output only. |
| `stored_bytes` | `int64` | Bytes stored, content and index together; the billed quantity. Output only. |

### Condition

| Field | Type | What it is |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `type` | `string` | The condition type, for example `Ready`. |
| `status` | `ConditionStatus` | Whether the condition holds. One of `true`, `false`, `unknown`. |
| `observed_generation` | `int64` | The generation this observation was made against. |
| `reason` | `string` | A machine-readable UpperCamelCase reason. |
| `message` | `string` | A customer-safe human-readable message. |
| `severity` | `Severity` | How severe a FALSE condition is. One of `info`, `warning`, `error`. |
| `transition_time` | `timestamp` | When `status` last changed. |

## 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.
