+## Returns
 
-- `BetaManagedAgentsMemoryVersion object { id, created_at, memory_id, 10 more }`
+- `BetaManagedAgentsMemoryVersion object`
 
   A `memory_version` object: one immutable, attributed row in a memory's append-only history. Every non-no-op mutation to a memory produces a new version. Versions belong to the store (not the individual memory) and persist after the memory is deleted. Retrieving a redacted version returns 200 with `content`, `path`, `content_size_bytes`, and `content_sha256` set to `null`; branch on `redacted_at`, not HTTP status.
 

 
     A timestamp in RFC 3339 format
 
+    format: date-time
+
   - `memory_id: string`
 
     ID of the memory this version snapshots (a `mem_...` value). Remains valid after the memory is deleted; pass it as `memory_id` to [List memory versions](/docs/en/api/beta/memory_stores/memory_versions/list) to retrieve the full lineage including the `deleted` row.

 
   - `type: "memory_version"`
 
-    - `"memory_version"`
-
   - `content: optional string or null`
 
     The memory's UTF-8 text content as of this version. `null` when `view=basic`, when `operation` is `deleted`, or when `redacted_at` is set.

 
     Size of `content` in bytes as of this version. `null` when `redacted_at` is set or `operation` is `deleted`. Populated regardless of `view` otherwise.
 
+    format: int32
+
   - `created_by: optional BetaManagedAgentsActor`
 
     Identifies who performed a write or redact operation. Captured at write time on the `memory_version` row. The API key that created a session is not recorded on agent writes; attribution answers who made the write, not who is ultimately responsible. Look up session provenance separately via the [Sessions API](/docs/en/api/sessions-retrieve).
 
-    - `BetaManagedAgentsSessionActor object { session_id, type }`
+    - `BetaManagedAgentsSessionActor object`
 
       Attribution for a write made by an agent during a session, through the mounted filesystem at `/mnt/memory/`.
 

 
         ID of the session that performed the write (a `sesn_...` value). Look up the session via [Retrieve a session](/docs/en/api/sessions-retrieve) for further provenance.

       - `type: "session_actor"`
 
-        - `"session_actor"`
+    - `BetaManagedAgentsAPIActor object`
 
-    - `BetaManagedAgentsAPIActor object { api_key_id, type }`
-
       Attribution for a write made directly via the public API (outside of any session).
 
       - `api_key_id: string`

 
         ID of the API key that performed the write. This identifies the key, not the secret.
 
+        minLength: 1

       - `type: "api_actor"`

+    - `BetaManagedAgentsUserActor object`
 
-    - `BetaManagedAgentsUserActor object { type, user_id }`
-
       Attribution for a write made by a human user through the Anthropic Console.
 
       - `type: "user_actor"`
 
-        - `"user_actor"`
-
       - `user_id: string`
 
         ID of the user who performed the write (a `user_...` value).
 
-    - `BetaManagedAgentsServiceAccountActor object { service_account_id, type }`
+        minLength: 1
 
+    - `BetaManagedAgentsServiceAccountActor object`
+
       Attribution for a write made by a workload authenticated as a service account, for example via Workload Identity Federation.
 
       - `service_account_id: string`

 
         ID of the service account that performed the write (a `svac_...` value).

       - `type: "service_account_actor"`
 
-        - `"service_account_actor"`
-
   - `path: optional string or null`
 
     The memory's path at the time of this write. `null` if and only if `redacted_at` is set.

 
     A timestamp in RFC 3339 format
 
+    format: date-time
+
   - `redacted_by: optional BetaManagedAgentsActor`
 
     Identifies who performed a write or redact operation. Captured at write time on the `memory_version` row. The API key that created a session is not recorded on agent writes; attribution answers who made the write, not who is ultimately responsible.
