What is talamus-memory?

A plugin that gives an AI agent durable, locally stored memory with source citations, history, and records showing where information came from. It also provides MCP tools for connecting that memory to an agent.

Use it to store and retrieve agent memory locally, inspect its provenance and history, and connect the memory system through MCP.

It helps preserve context between sessions while making it possible to check the sources and history behind remembered information.

Security

Grade A, and why

talamus-memory scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 5d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it installs

The manifest is a name and a version. 1 MCP server travel with it, and installing the plugin installs all of them. Each is measured on its own page, and each can be installed alone.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
