## Which one, for what

### TencentDB Agent Memory (C)

Good for: Small teams that run several coding agents on a host they control and want shared, permissioned memory, skills and code context injected through a proxy.

Ahead on:
- Reliability, 51 against 27
- Payments & pricing, 60 against 50
- Transparency & trust, 68 against 57

Also in its favour:
- Open source

Watch for: The core's bearer gate is off by default, and the deploy notes say enabling it breaks the proxy's auth and session setup

### 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, 83 against 61
- Security & auth, 69 against 30

Also in its favour:
- A hosted endpoint, with nothing to install

Watch for: Large base catalogue of 93 tools; smaller toolsets were not established in the 21 October review

## Verdicts

**TencentDB Agent Memory.** A self-hosted team memory stack with layered recall, per-asset visibility and ACLs, documented HTTP APIs and frequent releases, 2.0.0 to 2.0.3 since August. The default deployment publishes its ports on all host interfaces with the core's bearer gate off, data-plane deletes trust a service-ID header, and the proxy's rate-limit and session admin routes have no authentication.

**Tokenrip.** A shared workspace reached over MCP, REST or a CLI, with scoped OAuth, annotated tools, a public OpenAPI file and approval for outside actions. Current documentation lists 93 base tools, plus permitted connection-operation tools. The 21 October assessment found full-access API keys and no status page, changelog or SLA.

## Before you call either

### TencentDB Agent Memory

1. Set `MEMORY_CORE_GATEWAY_API_KEY`, `KNOWLEDGE_SERVICE_KEY` and a non-default admin key before exposing ports 8420, 8424, 8096 or 8125 beyond the host
2. In headless runs send `x-team-id`, `x-agent-id` and `x-task-id` headers to the proxy. Without all three it falls back to an interactive picker and skips memory
3. Expect every proxied turn to be stored. The proxy records upstream messages and model replies to Memory Core, and injected memory lands in your system prompt
4. Check `data.valid` on `/v3/meta/auth/verify` and `data.isError` on `/v3/tools/call`. Both can fail inside a success envelope
5. Retry `/v3/session/add` only on 500, 503 or a network error. The API reference says it isn't idempotent and writes a new object each call

### 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. Ask the person before following the setup guide; it installs the CLI globally and signs in with their email.
5. Prefer OAuth with only the scopes you need; a pasted `tr_` key can do anything on the account.
