Description
**Context:** ROADMAP.md → Memory security (entire section)
**Related:** #27 (review feedback memory), #26 (closed input hardening)
---
## Component
Agent (Python runtime)
## Describe the feature
Epic tracking **memory security** capabilities for AgentCore Memory: trust-aware retrieval, decay, anomaly detection, quarantine, write-ahead validation, review quorum, backup, extraction replay, and optional knowledge graph (tier 4).
## Use case
Memory is a learning surface and an attack surface. Poisoned or stale memories degrade agent quality or enable prompt injection persistence. Operators need detect-and-respond controls without blocking the fail-open execution path for normal tasks.
## Proposed solution
Child issues (file separately):
| Child draft | Capability |
|-------------|------------|
| [memory-trust-aware-retrieval.md](./memory-trust-aware-retrieval.md) | Trust-aware retrieval |
| [memory-temporal-decay.md](./memory-temporal-decay.md) | Temporal decay |
| [memory-anomaly-detection.md](./memory-anomaly-detection.md) | Anomaly detection |
| [memory-quarantine-and-rollback.md](./memory-quarantine-and-rollback.md) | Quarantine and rollback |
| [memory-write-ahead-validation.md](./memory-write-ahead-validation.md) | Write-ahead validation |
| [memory-review-feedback-quorum.md](./memory-review-feedback-quorum.md) | Review feedback quorum |
| [memory-backup-to-s3.md](./memory-backup-to-s3.md) | Memory backup to S3 |
| [memory-extraction-replay.md](./memory-extraction-replay.md) | Memory extraction replay |
| [memory-structured-knowledge-graph.md](./memory-structured-knowledge-graph.md) | Structured knowledge graph (tier 4) |
Ship incrementally; memory writes remain fail-open for task execution unless operator enables enforce mode per repo.
## Other information
- Design context: `docs/design/MEMORY.md`, `docs/design/SECURITY.md`.
- #27 implements acquisition; this epic implements **security and lifecycle**.
- [ ] This might be a breaking change
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with ROADMAP.md and the memory security section, then read docs/design/MEMORY.md and docs/design/SECURITY.md. Review the listed child drafts to understand the separate capabilities and their incremental scope. Done means the epic is split into implementable child issues, with the fail-open default and optional enforce mode preserved.
