## Which one, for what

### Agent Platform Memory Bank (B)

Good for: Managed long-term memory for agents already on Google Cloud, especially with ADK and Agent Platform Sessions.

Ahead on:
- Reliability, 68 against 57
- Agent ergonomics, 75 against 70
- Transparency & trust, 81 against 71

Also in its favour:
- No incidents deducted, where Tokenrip loses 9 points for them

Watch for: Needs a Google Cloud project with billing, set up by a person in the console

### Tokenrip (C)

Good for: Small teams, or one person with several agents in different tools (Claude, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor, Grok), who want one place for shared files, tasks, decisions and handoffs with a person approving outside actions.

Ahead on:
- Schema & documentation, 93 against 75
- Payments & pricing, 50 against 20
- Maintenance & community, 75 against 62

Also in its favour:
- Free to start without a card

Watch for: 98 tool definitions with no toolsets or dynamic loading found


## Why the edge

### Payments & pricing: Tokenrip +30

- Agent Platform Memory Bank (20): No x402, MPP or L402 (0). Storage, read and write prices are published without a login (20). No Memory Bank free tier found (0). A person creates the project, enables billing and sets up IAM in the console (0). Total 20.
- Tokenrip (50): No x402, MPP or L402 anywhere in the docs or the OpenAPI file (0 of 40). Plan prices are public without a login, priced per team member since 26 October 2026 (Free for one person with 2,500 actions and 1 GB a month, Pro $20 and Power $60 per member a month, Enterprise by arrangement), with no per-call or metered price (10). The free plan needs an email and a code, with no card (20). An agent can sign in with the person's email and a code without opening a browser, and `POST /v0/accounts` creates a keypair account with no email at all (documented as advanced, not tested). Upgrading can only be done by a person in Billing; the terms say agents can't reach it (20).

### Schema & documentation: Tokenrip +18

- 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.
- Tokenrip (93): OpenAPI 3.1.0 at api.tokenrip.com/v0/openapi.json with 111 paths and 144 operations, which the docs say is the same contract as each MCP tool's input. The MCP tool schemas themselves weren't read, because no session was opened (25, per the 21 October reading of the file). llms.txt on tokenrip.com and docs.tokenrip.com, every docs page as Markdown, and `Accept: text/markdown` on site pages (10). The tool reference gives each tool's purpose, class and scopes, and the docs say when to use the CLI instead of MCP and when to propose rather than act (16 of 20). 123 enums, 513 required lists and `additionalProperties: false` in the spec; unknown fields are refused with the accepted list (14 of 15). CLI and curl examples throughout the docs and about 50 error codes with recovery text on the MCP page, but no examples in the OpenAPI file (13 of 15). The API is versioned by path (/v0) and npm by semver, and tokenrip.com/changelog, which answered 404 on 21 October, now lists dated changes from 23 September to 3 November 2026 (15).

### Maintenance & community: Tokenrip +13

- Agent Platform Memory Bank (62): The newest Memory Bank release notes are of 20 August 2026 (IngestEvents GA, metadata, Gemini Embedding 2), 78 days before the check, and billing started on 1 September (20). Three Memory Bank entries in the 90 days, all on 20 August (10 of 20). Public release notes and Cloud Customer Care (12 of 15). `google-cloud-agentplatform` 2.7.0 on 28 October 2026, twelve releases in 90 days per its PyPI release feed, plus ADK (15). SDK test status not checked (5 of 10). Total 62.
- Tokenrip (75): Read for a closed service with an open-source CLI. The changelog's newest entry is 3 November 2026 and the CLI repository's newest release commit is 2.6.16 on 2 November (30). 16 CLI release commits from 12 October to 2 November and dated changelog entries on most days since 20 October (20). No issues or pull requests have ever been opened on the repository. A public changelog now exists, and support is by email, which the about page says a founder answers; untested (10 of 25, as for other closed services with a changelog and support). Listed in the official MCP registry as `io.github.silostack/tokenrip`, a GitHub-verified namespace on the founder's personal account, per the 21 October check, not re-read on 4 November (12 of 15). The repository has no CI workflows and no tests. Dependencies were current and there are no install scripts, per the 21 October check (3 of 10).

### Reliability: Agent Platform Memory Bank +11

- 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.
- Tokenrip (57): Graded with the hosted lines, on the remote MCP server and REST API. status.tokenrip.com, an incident.io page opened on 2 November 2026 per the changelog, shows Website, API and MCP components with uptime bars (20). Its feed lists no incident, and two days of history is a short record (15). Rate limits are described per account in requests a minute and at once, per address for anonymous calls, and as hourly caps on invites and confirmation emails, without numbers (5 of 15). Over a limit a tool call returns `RATE_LIMITED` with `retry: safe` and `retryAfterSeconds`, other requests get 429 with Retry-After, responses carry X-RateLimit headers, and the docs say not to retry in a loop. Every error carries `retry` of never, safe or unknown, writes use version and revision guards, and connection calls are never retried; only one tool takes an idempotency key (12 of 15). The terms supply the service as is with no uptime promise, and no SLA is published (0). Nothing is labelled beta, but the API is /v0 and the pricing page called itself early on 21 October (5 of 10).

### Transparency & trust: Agent Platform Memory Bank +10

- 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.
- Tokenrip (71): The hosted service is closed under clear, dated terms naming Quintel, LLC and Texas law. The CLI is MIT-licensed on GitHub, though the MCP server and API source aren't public (18 of 30). The privacy policy is detailed and its statements agree: what is collected, a retention table, no training on content, keys stored as hashes, connection keys encrypted, agent request bodies kept 30 days without file or table contents. Since 1 November an account can be deleted in Settings, which deletes its keys and content; the 21 October reading also found workspace activity history and copies of emails sent kept indefinitely (26 of 30). No deprecation policy. The changelog dates removals only after the event. The terms say parts of the service may be added or removed and prices change with notice; old CLI flags answer `RETIRED`. Terms changes are shown only by the date at the top (3 of 20). Sub-processors are named with what each receives (DigitalOcean, DigitalOcean Spaces, Cloudflare, PostHog, Google Analytics, Stripe, Mailjet or AgentMail), and the privacy policy of 3 November says data may be stored in the United States and other countries, with no hosting region named (12 of 20).

### Agent ergonomics: Agent Platform Memory Bank +5

- 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.
- Tokenrip (70): Graded on the MCP server. 98 tools in the reference on 4 November (34 Read, 40 Write, 24 Sensitive), plus a tool per connection operation an agent may call, with no toolsets, read-only subset or dynamic loading found. OAuth scopes limit which tools succeed, not which load (5, plus 2 for scope-limited clients: 7 of 25). Keyset and offset pagination, filters on tasks, search and activity, row projection and sort on tables, and results bounded at 64 KiB with an explicit continuation instead of silent truncation (20). Errors are `{ code, message, retry }` with details, and the catalogue says what to do for each, such as `TASK_TAKEN` naming the holder and `STORAGE_LIMIT_REACHED` carrying bytes used and the plan (20). Every tool is classed from readOnlyHint, destructiveHint and openWorldHint, writes take expected-version or revision guards and return the current value on conflict, deletions go to a 30-day trash, but only `workspace_view_open` takes an idempotency key (16 of 20). The CLI and library are TypeScript only, and every workspace write needs a `why` (7 of 15).

## Verdicts

**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.

**Tokenrip.** A shared workspace that agents in different tools reach over MCP, REST or a CLI, with scoped OAuth, annotated tools, a public OpenAPI file and an approval step for outside actions. It is young and changes fast, with 98 tools to load, full-access API keys, no SLA, and late-October access and CLI changes announced only as they shipped.

## Before you call either

### Agent Platform Memory Bank

1. Run `memories.generate` with `wait_for_completion=False` in production, since it is a long-running operation
2. Always pass a `scope` such as {"user_id": ...} so one user's memories never reach another
3. Send the OAuth token in the Authorization header, never as `access_token` in the URL
4. Expect a 404 when fetching a deleted memory and treat it as gone
5. Treat retrieved memories as untrusted text extracted from earlier conversations

### Tokenrip

1. Call `workspace_list`, then `workspace_load` with the full workspace id at the start of every run.
2. Send a one-sentence `why` with every workspace write, or it's refused with `WHY_REQUIRED`.
3. Propose posts, emails and bookings with `task_propose` and act only on the approved text.
4. Use `rip task cancel` to decline a review; `rip task decide --decline` and `--skip` are refused since CLI 2.6.12.
5. Prefer OAuth with only the scopes you need; a pasted `tr_` key can do anything on the account.
