Two defects surfaced by driving the engines through a demo UI against their real services, after #63 merged. Both are cases where the adapter's model of a vendor's API did not match the API.

Cognee: the shared endpoint does not exist

Binding cognee "cloud" failed with a TLS handshake error no message could explain. Cause: COGNEE_API_ENDPOINT pointed at api.cognee.ai, and TCP 443 there is refused — the DNS record resolves (a CNAME into Modal) but nothing listens, so no TLS session can exist. cloud() could not work for anyone, and nothing caught it: the constructor had no test.

Cognee Cloud has no shared host. It issues a base URL per tenant (https://tenant-<uuid>.aws.cognee.ai, shown on the API-key dashboard). That URL is live, and its /openapi.json reports Cognee API 1.0.0 with X-Api-Key as the only security scheme — exactly what api() already sends. So the constant and cloud() are deleted and api(tenant_url, key) is the path. api()'s own doc had already observed that Cognee Cloud issues tenant-specific URLs without following it to its conclusion.

The same live spec exposed a second bug: the collection is /api/v1/datasets/ with a trailing slash, and the adapter asked without one — a 307 on every enumeration. Same host, so the key survived the redirect and nothing failed; it was pure waste. Now asked for directly, with both test doubles moved to the slashed route so they keep mirroring the service.

Mem0: the hosted platform is a second API

mem0 refused to bind without a base URL. Honest — the adapter only ever spoke to the self-hosted server — but the premise was wrong: Mem0 ships two products under one name and api.mem0.ai is live.

self-hosted hosted platform
credential X-API-Key Authorization: Token
add POST memories POST v3/memories/add/
list GET memories?top_k POST v3/memories/ (paged)
search POST search POST v3/memories/search/
by id memories/{id} v1/memories/{id}/

The credential distinction is not cosmetic: a bearer token reaches the platform's JWT verifier and returns token_not_valid, so the wrong header of the two reports a failure in the wrong subsystem. Hence a third Auth::Token variant rather than reusing Bearer. The v3/v1 mix in the last row is the platform's own; by_id_path holds it in one place so it is not re-derived per call site.

One constraint shaped the design. The platform refuses a listing that names no entity id, yet this adapter must enumerate across namespaces for namespace_summaries, count and every exact-key lookup. So platform writes carry a constant agent_id = "tinymemory", which makes "everything this adapter owns" a filter the API accepts — and keeps a search from returning records written by anything else in the same Mem0 project.

The record model did not change: decode and metadata are shared verbatim, and the store body the adapter already sent was the platform's shape all along.

Interaction with #65

#65 added a truncation guard to mem0's unpaginated self-hosted listing, documenting that proper paging "needs Mem0's paging parameters verified against a live service; guessing them here would trade a loud failure for a quiet one." That guard is kept verbatim on the self-hosted arm. The cloud arm paginates instead — {count, next, previous, results}, verified against Mem0's API reference — so it has no ceiling to refuse at.

Endpoints for both engines were verified against vendor documentation and live probes, not inferred: every mem0 path answers 401 before routing, so an unauthenticated probe cannot tell a real endpoint from a missing one.

Validation

cargo test -p tinymemory-remote --lib: 24 passed · clippy clean · fmt clean · verified against the live cognee tenant endpoint (bind succeeds, capability audit clean, three mandatory families) and mem0 cloud binding by key alone.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Mem0 now supports both hosted cloud and self-hosted deployments.
    • Added cloud authentication and improved support for agent-scoped, paginated data.
    • Added support for Mem0 token-based authentication.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Corrected Cognee dataset requests to use the required endpoint path.
    • Updated Cognee setup to require a tenant-specific API URL.
  • Documentation
    • Updated deployment guidance and examples for Mem0 and Cognee integrations.

Live testing through the demo UI hit a wall no error message could
explain away: binding cognee "cloud" produced a TLS handshake failure.
The cause is that `COGNEE_API_ENDPOINT` pointed at `api.cognee.ai`, and
that host serves nothing — its DNS record resolves (a CNAME into Modal)
but TCP 443 is refused, so no TLS session can exist. `cloud()` therefore
could not work for anyone, and nothing caught it: the constructor had no
test.

Cognee Cloud does not have a shared API host. It issues a base URL per
tenant, printed on the API-key dashboard, of the form
`https://tenant-<uuid>.aws.cognee.ai`. That URL is live and correct:
its `/openapi.json` reports `Cognee API 1.0.0` with `X-Api-Key` as the
only security scheme, which is exactly what `api()` already sends. So
the fix is to delete the constant and `cloud()` and let `api()` take the
tenant URL — the address that actually exists. `api()`'s own doc had
already noticed this ("Cognee Cloud may issue a tenant-specific base
URL") without following the observation to its conclusion.

The same live spec exposed a second defect: the datasets collection is
`/api/v1/datasets/` with a trailing slash, and the adapter asked for it
without one. The server answers 307 to the slashed form, so every
enumeration — and `memories()` is already the hot path for exact CRUD —
paid an extra round trip. Same host, so the `X-Api-Key` header survived
the redirect and nothing failed; it was pure waste. Now asked for
directly.

The tenant and user ids the dashboard shows next to the URL need no
binding: the hostname identifies the tenant, and the API declares one
security scheme, the key.

cargo test -p tinymemory-remote: 19 passed
Verified against the live tenant endpoint: bind succeeds, capability
  audit clean, three mandatory families negotiated
The previous commit changed the adapter to request
`/api/v1/datasets/` — the form the live API serves — but left both test
doubles routing the bare path, so `native_cognee_round_trips_the_
tinymemory_contract` and `the_cognee_double_actually_retains` failed.
That commit's message claims 19 passing tests; it was written from a
run that had not finished, and the claim was wrong when pushed.

A double that answers a path the service redirects away from is not
mirroring the service, so the routes move rather than the adapter
tolerating both.

cargo test -p tinymemory-remote --lib: 19 passed, 0 failed (verified
  after the run completed, not during)
Testing through the demo UI showed mem0 refusing to bind without a base
URL. The refusal was honest — the adapter had only ever spoken to the
self-hosted server — but the premise was not: Mem0 ships two products
under one name, and api.mem0.ai is live.

They are different APIs, not one API at two addresses:

                self-hosted            hosted platform
  credential    X-API-Key              Authorization: Token
  add           POST memories          POST v3/memories/add/
  list          GET  memories?top_k    POST v3/memories/  (paged)
  search        POST search            POST v3/memories/search/
  by id         .../memories/{id}      .../v1/memories/{id}/

The credential distinction is not cosmetic: a bearer token reaches the
platform's JWT verifier and comes back `token_not_valid`, so sending the
wrong header of the two reports a failure in the wrong subsystem. Hence
a third `Auth::Token` variant rather than reusing `Bearer`.

The version mix in the last row is the platform's own — add, search and
list are v3 while the by-id operations are v1 — so `by_id_path` holds it
in one place instead of letting each call site re-derive (or "correct")
it.

One constraint shaped the design. The platform refuses a listing that
names no entity id, and this adapter must enumerate across namespaces to
serve `namespace_summaries`, `count`, and every exact-key lookup. So
every record written to the platform carries a constant
`agent_id = "tinymemory"`, which makes "everything this adapter owns" a
filter the API accepts — and keeps a search from returning records
written by anything else in the same Mem0 project.

What did not change is the record model: `decode` and `metadata` are
shared verbatim, because the platform returns the same `id` / `memory` /
`metadata` / `created_at` fields the self-hosted server does, and the
store body the adapter already sent was the platform's shape all along.

`new()` keeps its meaning (self-hosted) for existing callers;
`self_hosted`, `cloud` and `api` name the three cases explicitly.

Endpoints verified against Mem0's API reference, not inferred: every
path answers 401 before routing, so an unauthenticated probe cannot
distinguish a real endpoint from a missing one.

cargo test -p tinymemory-remote --lib: 19 passed
cargo clippy -p tinymemory-remote --all-targets: clean
The engine table still described mem0 as self-hosted only, which was the
whole gap the previous commit closed.

Cognee requires tenant-specific API URLs and uses a trailing slash for dataset requests. The shared cloud constructor and endpoint export are removed.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to d146b

The PR enables hosted Mem0 and tenant-specific Cognee access, but hosted Mem0 enumeration may not terminate if pagination fails to advance, and authorization tokens could be exposed in diagnostics. The change is otherwise mergeable with explicit owner awareness or follow-up for these bounded risks.

tinysweeper 0.1.0

@tinysweeper tinysweeper Bot added the priority: p3 Whenever. Cosmetic, a nicety, or a cleanup with no user visible effect. label Aug 19, 2026
Live testing: mem0 store and list succeeded, recall answered 400. The
cause is that `RecallOpts::min_score` is an `Option<f64>` and the search
body interpolated it directly, so an unset minimum serialised as
`"threshold": null`. The hosted platform types that field as a number in
0..=1 and rejects an explicit null. `search_body` now omits the field
when no minimum was asked for, and clamps `top_k` into the documented
1..=1000 for the same reason -- a limit outside the range is a
validation error, not a smaller result set.

The 400 was harder to diagnose than it should have been, because the
error carried a status and nothing else. Hosted engines explain
themselves in the response body -- mem0 answers `{"detail": "..."}`,
cognee likewise -- and `status_error` was discarding it, turning "this
one field is invalid" into "something, somewhere, was wrong". It now
includes the body, truncated to 300 characters: an error body is not a
payload budget, and only error bodies reach this path.

Both flavours share the builder, so the self-hosted arm stops sending a
null threshold too -- its server tolerated it, which is why this went
unnoticed there.

cargo test -p tinymemory-remote --lib: 27 passed (3 new, pinning the
  omitted threshold, the sent one, and the clamp)

Bound the cloud pagination loop.

The loop stops only on an empty page or a null next. If the service keeps returning a non-empty page and a non-null next, the loop runs without end and all grows without limit. The self-hosted arm has an explicit ceiling for the same class of failure. Add a page ceiling and fail loudly at it.

Four things the review found, all in the hosted-engine path this PR added.

`RequestBuilder::bearer_auth` marks its value sensitive; `header` handed a
plain string does not. So the two schemes with no such helper -- Cognee's
`X-API-Key` and Mem0's `Authorization: Token` -- carried a live credential
through every `Debug` rendering of the request. The test that pins this
prints the leak when reverted: `no sensitive header on {"x-api-key":
"cg-secret"}`. Both now go through one helper that sets the flag, and that
parses the value up front so a credential holding a newline fails at the
call site by name rather than inside `send` where it reads as a transport
fault. The parse error carries no value, so the refusal cannot echo the key
either.

Mem0's hosted listing stopped on an empty page or a null `next` -- both
server-controlled. A server that keeps answering a full page and a cursor
spun the loop and grew the buffer until the process died. It is now bounded
at 500 pages of 200 and fails saying so, which is what the self-hosted arm
already did at its own ceiling. The page size became a constant so the
message cannot drift from the request.

The `X-API-Key` doc line had ended up above `token` instead of `api_key`,
leaving one constructor with two contradictory doc lines and the other with
none. The README still said "plus self-hosted Mem0" one paragraph after the
table started advertising the hosted platform, and showed `CogneeMemory::api`
twice with the same shape; the second is now the `Mem0Memory::cloud`
constructor that section exists to document, and the auth paragraph names
Mem0's two schemes.

@coderabbitai Both nitpicks were valid and are fixed in c9cb601, along with the three actionable comments (replied on their threads).

adapters/remote/src/mem0.rs — bound the cloud pagination loop. Confirmed. The two stop conditions are both server-controlled, so a server that keeps answering a full page and a non-null next spins the loop and grows all until the process dies. Bounded at CLOUD_MAX_PAGES = 500 pages of CLOUD_PAGE_SIZE = 200 and failing loudly at the bound, which is what the self-hosted arm already does at its own ceiling. The page size became a constant rather than the 200 literal in the URL so the refusal message cannot drift from the request it describes. Pinned by a new failure_test that drives the hosted flavour against a double whose cursor never clears and asserts an error naming the ceiling, rather than a hang.

README.md — duplicate Cognee example. Confirmed; both bindings called CogneeMemory::api with the same shape and both comments said the same thing. Took your suggestion: the second is now Mem0Memory::cloud, which is the constructor that section exists to document.

Also fixed beyond what was flagged: the sensitive-header finding named only Auth::Token, but Auth::ApiKey reaches .header() the same way and carried Cognee Cloud's key in the clear too. Both now go through one helper. Reverting it makes the new test print the leak verbatim: no sensitive header on {"x-api-key": "cg-secret"}.

Verified: cargo clippy --all-targets --all-features -- -D warnings clean, cargo test --all-features 24 result blocks / 0 failures, cargo fmt --all --check clean, RUSTDOCFLAGS=-D warnings cargo doc --no-deps --all-features clean.

Tip

For best results, initiate chat on the files or code changes.

@YellowSnnowmann Confirmed. The pagination cap and failure test address the unbounded hosted Mem0 listing. The README example now documents Mem0Memory::cloud. The shared sensitive-header helper protects both Auth::Token and Auth::ApiKey.

Thank you for the complete verification results. 🐇
