# Search Memories Vector

> Search developer-readable default memory memory through hydrated vector candidates.

This narrow developer API vector endpoint fails closed unless the authenticated
Developer API app/key has a verified memories.read scope, a persisted app/key
default-read grant, and the server-owned rollout state enables developer_api
memory default-memory reads. Vector hits are hydrated from authoritative
`users/{uid}/memory_items` before returning results, so stale Short-term and
Archive remain unavailable by default.
