Adding Memory to Your Agent

Note: This template does not include memory by default. Use this skill to add memory capabilities. For pre-configured memory templates, see: - agent-langgraph-short-term-memory - Conversation history within a session - agent-langgraph-long-term-memory - User facts that persist across sessions

Memory Types

Prerequisites

1. Add memory dependency to pyproject.toml: dependencies = ["databricks-langchain[memory]",] Then run uv sync
2. Configure Lakebase - See lakebase-setup skill for:

- Creating/configuring Lakebase instance - Initializing tables (CRITICAL first-time step)

Quick Setup Summary

Adding memory requires changes to 4 files:

Key Principles

Before implementing memory, understand these patterns from the production implementation.

1. Factory Function Pattern

Memory tools should be returned from a factory function, not defined as standalone functions:

def memory_tools():
    @tool
    async def get_user_memory(query: str, config: RunnableConfig) -> str:
        ...
    @tool
    async def save_user_memory(memory_key: str, memory_data_json: str, config: RunnableConfig) -> str:
        ...
    @tool
    async def delete_user_memory(memory_key: str, config: RunnableConfig) -> str:
        ...
    return [get_user_memory, save_user_memory, delete_user_memory]

2. User ID Extraction

Extract user_id from the request, checking custom_inputs first. Return None (not a default) to let the caller decide:

def get_user_id(request: ResponsesAgentRequest) -> Optional[str]:
    custom_inputs = dict(request.custom_inputs or {})
    if "user_id" in custom_inputs:
        return custom_inputs["user_id"]
    if request.context and getattr(request.context, "user_id", None):
        return request.context.user_id
    return None

3. Separate Error Handling

Check user_id and store separately with distinct error messages:

user_id = config.get("configurable", {}).get("user_id")
if not user_id:
    return "Memory not available - no user_id provided."

store: Optional[BaseStore] = config.get("configurable", {}).get("store")
if not store:
    return "Memory not available - store not configured."

4. JSON Validation for Save

Validate JSON input before storing - the LLM may pass invalid JSON:

try:
    memory_data = json.loads(memory_data_json)
    if not isinstance(memory_data, dict):
        return f"Failed: memory_data must be a JSON object, not {type(memory_data).__name__}"
    await store.aput(namespace, memory_key, memory_data)
except json.JSONDecodeError as e:
    return f"Failed to save memory: Invalid JSON - {e}"

5. Pass Store via RunnableConfig

Pass the store through config, not as a function parameter:

config = {"configurable": {"user_id": user_id, "store": store}}
# Tools access via: config.get("configurable", {}).get("store")

Complete Example

A full implementation is available in this skill's examples folder:

# Copy to your project
cp .claude/skills/agent-memory/examples/memory_tools.py agent_server/

See examples/memory_tools.py for production-ready code including all helper functions.

Production Reference

For implementations in the pre-built templates:

Key functions:

• memory_tools() - Factory returning get/save/delete tools
• get_user_id() - Extract user_id from request
• resolve_lakebase_instance_name() - Handle hostname vs instance name
• get_lakebase_access_error_message() - Helpful error messages

Configuration Files

Step 1: databricks.yml (Lakebase Resource)

Add the Lakebase database resource to your app:

resources:
  apps:
    agent_langgraph:
      name: "your-app-name"
      source_code_path: ./

      resources:
        # ... other resources (experiment, UC functions, etc.) ...

        # Lakebase instance for long-term memory
        - name: 'database'
          database:
            instance_name: '<your-lakebase-instance-name>'
            database_name: 'databricks_postgres'
            permission: 'CAN_CONNECT_AND_CREATE'

Important: The name: 'database' must match the value_from reference in the databricks.yml config.env block.

Step 2: databricks.yml config block (Environment Variables)

Add the Lakebase environment variables to your app's config.env in databricks.yml:

      config:
        command: ["uv", "run", "start-app"]
        env:
          # ... other env vars ...

          # Lakebase instance name (resolved from database resource)
          - name: LAKEBASE_INSTANCE_NAME
            value_from: "database"

          # Embedding configuration
          - name: EMBEDDING_ENDPOINT
            value: "databricks-gte-large-en"
          - name: EMBEDDING_DIMS
            value: "1024"

Important: LAKEBASE_INSTANCE_NAME uses value_from: "database" to resolve from the database resource at deploy time.

Step 3:.env (Local Development)

# Lakebase configuration for long-term memory
LAKEBASE_INSTANCE_NAME=<your-instance-name>
EMBEDDING_ENDPOINT=databricks-gte-large-en
EMBEDDING_DIMS=1024

Integration Example

Minimal example showing how to integrate memory into your streaming function:

from agent_server.utils_memory import memory_tools, get_user_id

@stream()
async def streaming(request: ResponsesAgentRequest):
    user_id = get_user_id(request)

    async with AsyncDatabricksStore(
        instance_name=LAKEBASE_INSTANCE_NAME,
        embedding_endpoint=EMBEDDING_ENDPOINT,
        embedding_dims=EMBEDDING_DIMS,
    ) as store:
        await store.setup()  # Creates tables if needed

        tools = await mcp_client.get_tools() + memory_tools()
        config = {"configurable": {"user_id": user_id, "store": store}}

        agent = create_react_agent(model=model, tools=tools)
        async for event in agent.astream(messages, config):
            yield event

Initialize Tables and Deploy

Initialize Lakebase Tables (First Time Only)

Before deploying, initialize the tables locally:

uv run python -c "$(cat <<'EOF'
import asyncio
from databricks_langchain import AsyncDatabricksStore

async def setup():
    async with AsyncDatabricksStore(
        instance_name="<your-instance-name>",
        embedding_endpoint="databricks-gte-large-en",
        embedding_dims=1024,
    ) as store:
        await store.setup()
        print("Tables created!")

asyncio.run(setup())
EOF
)"

Deploy

After initializing tables, deploy your agent. See deploy skill for full instructions.

Short-Term Memory

For conversation history within a session, use AsyncCheckpointSaver:

from databricks_langchain import AsyncCheckpointSaver

async with AsyncCheckpointSaver(instance_name=LAKEBASE_INSTANCE_NAME) as checkpointer:
    agent = create_react_agent(
        model=model,
        tools=tools,
        checkpointer=checkpointer,
    )

    config = {"configurable": {"thread_id": thread_id}}
    async for event in agent.astream(messages, config):
        yield event

See the agent-langgraph-short-term-memory template for a complete implementation.

Testing Memory

Test Locally

# Start the server
uv run start-app

# Save a memory
curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/invocations \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
      "input": [{"role": "user", "content": "Remember that I am on the shipping team"}],
      "custom_inputs": {"user_id": "alice@example.com"}
  }'

# Recall the memory
curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/invocations \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
      "input": [{"role": "user", "content": "What team am I on?"}],
      "custom_inputs": {"user_id": "alice@example.com"}
  }'

# Delete a memory
curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/invocations \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
      "input": [{"role": "user", "content": "Forget what team I am on"}],
      "custom_inputs": {"user_id": "alice@example.com"}
  }'

Test Deployed App

# Get OAuth token (PATs don't work for apps)
TOKEN=$(databricks auth token --host <workspace-url> | jq -r '.access_token')

# Test memory save
curl -X POST https://<app-url>/invocations \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
      "input": [{"role": "user", "content": "Remember I prefer detailed explanations"}],
      "custom_inputs": {"user_id": "alice@example.com"}
  }'
