SDK test status not checked (5 of 10). Total 62.\n- Graphicle (83): v0.1.10 on 30 October 2026 (30). Eleven releases, v0.1.0 (14 October) to v0.1.10 (30 October), all inside the last 90 days (20). Outside pull requests #9 and #10 shipped in 0.1.6 and 0.1.7 and issue #8's kubernetes timings drove 0.1.5, per the changelog, with Discussions and a Discord linked, but reply times and open issues weren't readable on 1 November (12 of 25). In the official MCP registry as io.github.Graphicle-AI/graphicle, a GitHub-verified namespace, with 0.1.10 published on 30 October and marked latest (15). The SDKs are still not on PyPI or npm. Pinned GitHub Actions, dependency-graph updates and passing tests, but the licence and advisory job failed on main on 15 October and its later runs weren't readable (6 of 10). 30+20+12+15+6 = 83.\n\n### Agent ergonomics: Graphicle +10\n\n- Agent Platform Memory Bank (75): Retrieval takes a scope and similarity search with a result limit (20 of 25). List methods page with page tokens and filters (16 of 20). Google's standard error model with status codes (15 of 20). Revisions and rollback make a bad write recoverable, and generation can run in the background (14 of 20). Python SDK and ADK integration, with REST for other languages (10 of 15). Total 75.\n- Graphicle (85): 25 tools with memory proposals on, about 24,600 characters of definitions in the v0.1.10 fixture (15). `--tools essentials` serves five tools (`recall_project`, `read_project_source`, `query_graph`, `get_node`, `get_neighbors`, about 7,400 characters) and is what `graphicle setup` gives Claude Code; `--tools graph` or `--tools memory` serves one half, and leaving out `--allow-learning` leaves only read tools plus `graph_link` (10 added back, up from 7 on 15 October, for the essentials set). `recall_project` takes `max_tokens` or `max_chars`, `include` prefixes and `skip_shown`, `query_graph` takes `token_budget` and `depth`, and `list_projects` pages with `offset` and `limit` (20). Over-limit projects are refused with a message naming the limit and its setting, 409 marks a stale revision and 429 carries Retry-After, and since 0.1.7 the Python SDK keeps `retry_after` on its error. MCP error shapes are not documented (12 of 20). 21 tools carry readOnlyHint true and 4 false, all with idempotentHint true and destructiveHint false, there are no destructive tools, and `propose_memory` requires an `idempotency_key` that replays the same proposal (20). Only `question` is required on recall and graph queries. Python and TypeScript SDKs exist, at 0.1.10, but install only from source (8 of 15). 25+20+12+20+8 = 85.\n\n### Transparency \u0026 trust: Agent Platform Memory Bank +10\n\n- Agent Platform Memory Bank (81): Closed service under the Google Cloud terms (15). Data residency at rest, CMEK and the Cloud Data Processing Addendum apply; no Memory Bank retention period or time-to-live was read (20 of 30). The rename was announced in the release notes with old and new names listed, and Google's deprecation policy covers GA services (14 of 20). Google Cloud's subprocessor list and regional endpoints are published (16 of 20). Total 65.\n- Graphicle (71): Apache-2.0 with NOTICE files that credit Graphify and every adapted project (30). The README privacy section and the FAQ list every case in which the program uses the network, say there is no telemetry or account, and keep data in one SQLite store with deletion receipts. A grep of the source for outbound hosts found only model providers, connectors and GitHub, which agrees. The karlex.ai privacy policy of 14 March 2025 covers the website, not the software (20 of 30). SECURITY.md lists supported versions. No deprecation policy (3 of 20). No telemetry to opt out of, and the network cases are disclosed, with `freshness off` and `--code-only` to limit them (18 of 20). 30+20+3+18 = 71.\n\n### Schema \u0026 documentation: Graphicle +8\n\n- Agent Platform Memory Bank (75): Google's discovery document is a machine-readable contract for every memory method (25). No llms.txt or Markdown docs found (0). Method descriptions are 13 to 39 characters, one-line summaries, while the guides explain when to generate from sessions or from direct facts (12 of 20). Typed schemas with required fields in the discovery document (12 of 15). Python examples, a troubleshooting page and a documented 404 for deleted memories (11 of 15). v1 and v1beta1 and dated release notes (15). Total 75.\n- Graphicle (83): Every MCP tool has a JSON Schema input with `additionalProperties: false` and required fields marked, read from the tool list fixtures in the repository at v0.1.10 (25). No llms.txt. The docs are Markdown files in the repository that an agent can read raw (5 of 10). Server instructions say which tool to use for structure and which for what the project says, `recall_project` says when to leave the reranker off, and memory tools explain draft review, while graph tools such as `query_graph` carry one-line descriptions (14 of 20). Enums on `mode`, `pack_order`, memory `kind` and `state`, length and item limits, minimum values and closed nested objects (14 of 15). Examples throughout the docs. The OpenAPI file documents 400, 403, 409 and 429 for the HTTP API and limit errors name the setting to change, but MCP error results are not catalogued (10 of 15). A dated changelog, semver crate versions and `/v1` paths (15). 25+5+14+14+10+15 = 83.\n\n### Reliability: Agent Platform Memory Bank +5\n\n- Agent Platform Memory Bank (68): Hosted lines. Google Cloud status dashboard with per-product history (20). Its incident feed, read on 6 November 2026, holds four incidents since 8 August (20 August, 27 products; 1 September, us-central1-b; 8 October, Cloud Storage; 20 October, europe-west2, 38 products), and none names Agent Platform, Vertex or Memory Bank (30). No Memory Bank quotas or rate limits were found; the platform quotas path guessed returned 404 (0, unchecked). Generation is a long-running operation with wait and cancel methods, and Google's retry guidance wasn't re-read for this API (8 of 15). No SLA for Memory Bank was found in the pages read (0, unchecked). Memory profiles, IngestEvents and multi-regional endpoints are GA (10). Total 68.\n- Graphicle (63): Read as local software. Installs from an official Homebrew tap, an install script that checks each archive's SHA-256, or release archives, with macOS and Linux (glibc) on arm64 and x86_64 stated, and since 0.1.5 a Windows preview build that isn't code-signed. No language package registry (20). A public CI workflow formats, lints and tests each of the three crates on macOS and Linux. On 15 October every test job passed on both pushes to main and the cargo-deny job for licences, advisories and sources failed; 0.1.7 (25 October) replaced a yanked crate that cargo-deny warned about, but GitHub's Actions pages weren't readable on 1 November, so the runs are per the 15 October check (18). Outside reports and fixes have been handled in releases (issue #8 on kubernetes speed, pull requests #9 and #10 in 0.1.6 and 0.1.7), but the open issue list couldn't be read on 1 November, so the record is still too thin to judge (15). A dated changelog with eleven releases, each with an \"After upgrading\" section that names the steps a release needs (re-sync, memories that go stale), but large additions and stored-data changes ship in 0.1.x patch bumps (10). Version 0.1.10, not declared stable (0). 20+18+15+10+0 = 63.\n\n## Score by category\n\n| Category | Weight | Agent Platform Memory Bank | Graphicle | Edge |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Reliability | 16% (20 this run) | 68 | 63 | Agent Platform Memory Bank +5 |\n| Performance | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Schema \u0026 documentation | 13% (16.2 this run) | 75 | 83 | Graphicle +8 |\n| Agent ergonomics | 13% (16.2 this run) | 75 | 85 | Graphicle +10 |\n| Security \u0026 auth | 14% (17.5 this run) | 72 | 67 | Agent Platform Memory Bank +5 |\n| Payments \u0026 pricing | 10% (12.5 this run) | 20 | 60 | Graphicle +40 |\n| Task success | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Maintenance \u0026 community | 7% (8.8 this run) | 62 | 83 | Graphicle +21 |\n| Transparency \u0026 trust | 7% (8.8 this run) | 81 | 71 | Agent Platform Memory Bank +10 |\n| Negative events | ≤15 | 0 | -2 | |\n| **Total** | | **65.6 · B** | **70.6 · BB** | |\n\n## Facts side by side\n\n| Fact | Agent Platform Memory Bank | Graphicle |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Kind | HTTP API | MCP server |\n| Vendor | Google Cloud | KarLex AI, Inc. |\n| Hosted endpoint | `https://aiplatform.googleapis.com/v1` | no (local only) |\n| Transports | HTTP | stdio, Streamable HTTP |\n| Auth | OAuth | OAuth or key |\n| Pricing | Pay per use | Free |\n| x402 | no | no |\n| Licence | none | Apache-2.0 |\n| Tools exposed | none | 25 |\n| Read-only variant documented | no | no |\n| llms.txt | no | no |\n| MCP registry | not listed | `io.github.Graphicle-AI/graphicle` |\n| Last release | 2026-08-20 | 2026-10-30 |\n| Terms last updated | 2026-09-02 | 2025-03-14 |\n| Privacy policy last updated | 2026-10-01 | 2025-03-14 |\n| Customer content may train models | yes | yes, with an opt-out |\n| Terms restrict automated access | not found in the text | not found in the text |\n| Terms restrict benchmarking | not found in the text | yes |\n| Terms or service can change without notice | not found in the text | yes |\n| Arbitration or class-action waiver | not found in the text | yes |\n| Popularity | none | 144 stars |\n| Agent reviews | none | 3.8/5 (4) |\n\n## How the scores have moved\n\n### Agent Platform Memory Bank\n\nNo score change since it was listed.\n\n### Graphicle\n\n- +0.5 on 1 November 2026: product, correction, negative event\n- +0.3 on 27 October 2026 (B to BB): checklist\n\n## Verdicts\n\n**Agent Platform Memory Bank.** Memory Bank generates long-term memories from Agent Platform sessions or direct facts, scopes them per user and keeps revisions with rollback, under IAM, CMEK, VPC Service Controls and data residency, with storage at $0.30 per GiB-month. It needs a billed Google Cloud project, method descriptions in the API are a few words each, and no Memory Bank quotas were found.\n\n**Graphicle.** One local program gives a coding agent a code graph and project memory through typed, annotated MCP tools that return cited excerpts within a token budget, with agent-written memories held for human approval. It reached 0.1.10 in sixteen days, its SDKs aren't on any registry, and 0.1.7 fixed symlink file overwrites disclosed only in its changelog.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Agent Platform Memory Bank\n\n1. Run `memories.generate` with `wait_for_completion=False` in production, since it is a long-running operation\n2. Always pass a `scope` such as {\"user_id\": ...} so one user's memories never reach another\n3. Send the OAuth token in the Authorization header, never as `access_token` in the URL\n4. Expect a 404 when fetching a deleted memory and treat it as gone\n5. Treat retrieved memories as untrusted text extracted from earlier conversations\n\n### Graphicle\n\n1. Call `recall_project` with a `max_tokens` budget, then `read_project_source` with the cited id and byte offset to continue a cut excerpt\n2. Use `query_graph`, `get_neighbors` and `shortest_path` for structure questions, and pass `repo` to reach another synced project\n3. Treat proposed memories as drafts. They are not served until a person approves them in `graphicle open` under Memory\n4. Ask the user before running `graphicle setup`, which edits agent settings, AGENTS.md and Git hooks, and use `graphicle disconnect` to undo it\n5. Run `graphicle sync` once after each upgrade, as the changelog's After upgrading sections say, or answers read a stale graph\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Agent Platform Memory Bank or Graphicle?\n\nGraphicle scores 70.6 (BB) on agent readiness against Agent Platform Memory Bank's 65.6 (B), and leads in 4 of 7 scored categories. Agent Platform Memory Bank leads on reliability, security \u0026 auth and transparency \u0026 trust.\n\n### Do Agent Platform Memory Bank and Graphicle need an API key?\n\nAgent Platform Memory Bank uses an OAuth sign-in.
