# Recall memory

> Search what the project and its workspace remember, by words in any order, or list it all without a query.

<div class="g1t-endpoint"><span class="g1t-method" data-method="get">GET</span><code>/repos/{owner}/{name}/memory</code></div>

Pinned memories come first, then the most recently used. Members of the workspace and g1t's agents only.

Anyone who can read the repository gets its project memory; `workspace` is filled only for members of the workspace, and is empty for anyone else. Each memory returned is marked used, which keeps it near the front of what agents are given.

- **Authentication:** Required. Send an [access token](/reference/api/#authentication) as `Authorization: Bearer`.
- **MCP tool:** [`memory`](/reference/mcp/#memory) with `action` `recall`, and the same inputs
- **Scope:** An access token needs [`memory:read`](/guides/authentication/#scopes).

## Errors

A failed request answers with one of these statuses and a body like `{"error": {"code": "not_found", "message": "Repository not found."}}`. See [errors](/reference/api/#errors).

| Status | Code | When |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 401 | `unauthenticated` | A token is required, or the one sent is not valid. |
| 403 | `forbidden` | The token is valid but not allowed to do this, such as a member-only change or an agent token outside its repository. |
| 404 | `not_found` | It does not exist, or you cannot see it. |
| 422 | `invalid` | The input is not valid. `message` says which field and why. |
