memorywire: A Vendor-Neutral Wire Format for Agent Memory Operations
Researchers introduce memorywire, a JSON-Schema 2020-12 wire format supporting five core memory operations (remember, recall, forget, merge, expire) across four memory types (semantic, episodic, procedural, emotional) for agent-memory frameworks. The open-source reference implementation includes five backend adapters and demonstrates strong performance on a microbenchmark, achieving recall@5=1.000 and low median latencies for ingest and recall. The protocol also features an optional human-in-the-loop governance channel and is designed for compatibility with the Model Context Protocol.
Why it matters: memorywire provides a standardized, vendor-neutral protocol for agent memory operations, facilitating interoperability, migration, and governance across diverse memory frameworks.
