Microsoft Agent Framework
Give Microsoft Agent Framework agents persistent semantic memory through a GoodMem client, context provider, and function tools.
Overview
GoodMem is a memory layer for AI agents that handles embedding, vector search, reranking, and
LLM-powered answering server-side. This integration gives Microsoft Agent Framework
agents persistent, semantic long-term memory backed by a GoodMem server. It ships an async REST
client (GoodMemClient), a GoodMemContextProvider that retrieves relevant memories before each
agent run and stores conversations afterwards, and a create_goodmem_tools factory that exposes
function tools so the model itself can manage spaces and memories.
Installation
pip install agent-framework-goodmemThe pip package is agent-framework-goodmem; the import name is agent_framework_goodmem.
Configuration
The GoodMemClient is configured directly via constructor arguments rather than environment
variables:
| Argument | Description |
|---|---|
base_url | Base URL of your GoodMem server (no /v1 suffix), e.g. https://your-goodmem-server.example.com. |
api_key | API key used to authenticate requests. |
verify_ssl | Set to False to skip TLS verification for self-signed dev certs. |
The integration test suite also reads GOODMEM_BASE_URL and GOODMEM_API_KEY from the
environment.
Quick start
import asyncio
from agent_framework_goodmem import GoodMemClient, create_goodmem_tools
async def main():
client = GoodMemClient(
base_url="https://your-goodmem-server.example.com",
api_key="gm_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
)
embedders = await client.list_embedders()
embedder_id = embedders[0]["embedderId"]
space = await client.create_space(name="quickstart", embedder_id=embedder_id)
space_id = space["spaceId"]
await client.create_memory(
space_id=space_id,
text_content="The capital of France is Paris.",
)
results = await client.retrieve_memories(
query="What is the capital of France?",
space_ids=[space_id],
max_results=3,
wait_for_indexing=True,
)
print(results)
await client.close()
asyncio.run(main())Local development. The example above uses a TLS-verified production URL. If you are running
GoodMem locally with a self-signed certificate, use https://localhost:8080 and disable TLS
verification with the client's verify-SSL option (see the Configuration table above). Keep TLS
verification enabled for any deployed server.
Retrieval post-processing
GoodMem's retrieval call accepts these optional post-processing parameters (each framework exposes them under its own naming convention):
| Parameter | Range | Description |
|---|---|---|
reranker_id | UUID | Reranker model that reorders matched chunks by relevance. |
llm_id | UUID | LLM that generates a contextual answer (abstractReply) alongside the chunks. |
relevance_threshold | 0–1 | Minimum relevance score for a result to be included. |
llm_temperature | 0–2 | Sampling temperature for the LLM post-processor. |
max_results | integer | Maximum number of results to return. |
chronological_resort | boolean | Re-sort the final results by creation time instead of relevance. |
