From the project READMESearch memories
Call search_memories with the user's question. Treat --top-k, --category,
--scope, and --run-id as tool arguments instead of including them in the
query.
Omit top_k to use Mem0's configured default. Omit category to search every
category. Omit scope to use the configured default, normally repo: this
repository's shared memory, which everyone who works in it contributes to,
plus your own preferences.
Pass scope when the question needs something else: dir to narrow the
shared memory to the directory you are working in (a package inside a
monorepo), mine for your own preferences alone.
Pass run_id with any scope to retrieve memories saved in a specific coding-agent
session. Omit run_id to search across sessions. It filters the memories returned;
it does not identify the session making the search request. Use a known session ID,
never invent one. Return the tool's result directly.
