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.\n\n**Zep.** Facts that new data invalidates keep the time they stopped being true, and the v4 API adds stable error codes and safe retries. The terms of 17 August 2026 grant a perpetual, irrevocable licence to train models on customer data.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### TencentDB Agent Memory\n\n1. 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\n2. 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\n3. 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\n4. Check `data.valid` on `/v3/meta/auth/verify` and `data.isError` on `/v3/tools/call`. Both can fail inside a success envelope\n5. 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\n\n### Zep\n\n1. Use the 4.0 SDKs and store the UUID each create call returns. v4 calls take Zep UUIDs, not your own user or thread IDs\n2. Set `return_context` when adding messages to skip a second round trip\n3. Keep episodes short. Every 350 bytes past the first costs another credit\n4. Branch on `error.code`. On a 429, wait for Retry-After with jitter. Free accounts over quota drop to 5 requests a minute\n5. Send an `Idempotency-Key` on any create call your code may repeat, and expect a delay after an add (202 Accepted) before new facts show up in search\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, TencentDB Agent Memory or Zep?\n\nZep scores 74 (BB) on agent readiness against TencentDB Agent Memory's 56 (C), and leads in 5 of 7 scored categories.
