Auto-generated from uteke-server route registry and type schemas. Do not edit manually — run cargo run -p docgen to regenerate.

Base URL: http://localhost:8767 (default)

Auth: Set --auth-token <TOKEN> to require Authorization: Bearer <TOKEN> header.

🏷️ Tags

🟡 POST /tags/rename

Rename a tag across all memories.

Request body: TagRenameRequest

🟡 POST /tags/delete

Delete a tag from all memories.

Request body: TagDeleteRequest

📌 Pin (Legacy)

📝 Other

🟢 GET /guide

Returns the agent-facing memory tools guide for system prompt injection (#1010).

Response: GuideResponse

Related: #1010

🟢 GET /store

Identity of the store this server serves: {"id": "<16 hex digits>"}, the SHA-256 prefix of the store's canonical path (uteke_core::store_identity). The CLI compares it with the store it resolved before routing a command here, so UTEKE_HOME pointing elsewhere is not sent to this server (#1445). The path itself is never returned. Needs the usual token when auth is on.

Request body: NamespaceRenameRequest

Related: 1181

🟡 POST /namespaces/delete

Delete a namespace with an explicit strategy for its memories ({name, strategy, target?}): refuse (default — 409 while any memory references the name), merge (move all memories to target), or deprecate (soft-delete — restorable, never hard-deleted) (#1181).
