Request parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`messages`	array	Yes	Conversation messages used as the query
`messages[].role`	string	No	Message role
`messages[].content`	string / array	No	Message content as a text string or multimodal content array
`messages[].content[].type`	string	No	Content type: `text` or `image_url`. Images are parsed only for projects that support multimodal input
`messages[].content[].text`	string	Conditionally required	Text content. Required when `type` is `text`
`messages[].content[].image_url`	object	Conditionally required	Image information. Required when `type` is `image_url`
`messages[].content[].image_url.url`	string	Conditionally required	Image URL
`user_id`	string	Yes	Sub-user ID used to isolate memories
`memory_library_id`	string	No	Memory library ID
`project_id`	string	No	Project ID used for secondary isolation. Mutually exclusive with `project_ids`
`project_ids`	array[string]	No	Multiple project IDs. Mutually exclusive with `project_id`
`top_k`	integer	No	Maximum number of results. Default: `10`
`min_score`	number	No	Minimum score threshold. Results below this score are filtered out. Default: `0.3`. Effective only when `plan_version` is `pro`
`memory_types`	array[string]	No	Memory type filter. Valid values: `observation` and `skill`. Default: `["observation"]`
`plan_version`	string	No	Billing plan: `pro` or `lite`. Default: `pro`. The value is case-insensitive; other values cause an error

The pro plan supports filtering results by min_score. The lite plan does not use this parameter. See Billing.
