fix(security): address all Dependabot vulnerability alerts (#617)
Python (uv.lock, pyproject.toml):
- authlib 1.6.6 → 1.6.9 (JWS header injection, OIDC hash binding, Bleichenbacher padding oracle)
- pyasn1 0.6.2 → 0.6.3 (unbounded recursion DoS)
- pyjwt 2.10.1 → 2.12.1 (unknown crit header extensions - also in integration-tests and crewai)
- orjson 3.11.4 → 3.11.7 (deeply nested JSON recursion DoS)
- tornado 6.5.2 → 6.5.5 (multipart DoS, incomplete cookie validation)

npm (package.json, package-lock.json):
- next ^16.1.6 → ^16.1.7 (HTTP smuggling, CSRF bypass, cache DoS, null origin bypass)
- fast-xml-parser override updated to >=5.5.6 (numeric entity expansion bypass)
- undici override added >=7.24.0 (WebSocket overflow, smuggling, CRLF injection, DoS)
- flatted override added >=3.4.0 (unbounded recursion DoS)
- svgo override added >=3.3.3 (DOCTYPE entity expansion DoS)
- dompurify override added >=3.3.2 (XSS vulnerability)

Hindsight API

Memory System for AI Agents — Temporal + Semantic + Entity Memory Architecture using PostgreSQL with pgvector.

Hindsight gives AI agents persistent memory that works like human memory: it stores facts, tracks entities and relationships, handles temporal reasoning ("what happened last spring?"), and forms opinions based on configurable disposition traits.

Installation

pip install hindsight-api

Quick Start

Run the Server

# Set your LLM provider
export HINDSIGHT_API_LLM_PROVIDER=openai
export HINDSIGHT_API_LLM_API_KEY=sk-xxxxxxxxxxxx

# Start the server (uses embedded PostgreSQL by default)
hindsight-api

The server starts at http://localhost:8888 with:

  • REST API for memory operations
  • MCP server at /mcp for tool-use integration

Use the Python API

from hindsight_api import MemoryEngine

# Create and initialize the memory engine
memory = MemoryEngine()
await memory.initialize()

# Create a memory bank for your agent
bank = await memory.create_memory_bank(
    name="my-assistant",
    background="A helpful coding assistant"
)

# Store a memory
await memory.retain(
    memory_bank_id=bank.id,
    content="The user prefers Python for data science projects"
)

# Recall memories
results = await memory.recall(
    memory_bank_id=bank.id,
    query="What programming language does the user prefer?"
)

# Reflect with reasoning
response = await memory.reflect(
    memory_bank_id=bank.id,
    query="Should I recommend Python or R for this ML project?"
)

CLI Options

hindsight-api --help

# Common options
hindsight-api --port 9000          # Custom port (default: 8888)
hindsight-api --host 127.0.0.1     # Bind to localhost only
hindsight-api --workers 4          # Multiple worker processes
hindsight-api --log-level debug    # Verbose logging

Configuration

Configure via environment variables:

Variable Description Default
HINDSIGHT_API_DATABASE_URL PostgreSQL connection string pg0 (embedded)
HINDSIGHT_API_LLM_PROVIDER openai, anthropic, gemini, groq, ollama, lmstudio openai
HINDSIGHT_API_LLM_API_KEY API key for LLM provider -
HINDSIGHT_API_LLM_MODEL Model name gpt-4o-mini
HINDSIGHT_API_HOST Server bind address 0.0.0.0
HINDSIGHT_API_PORT Server port 8888

Example with External PostgreSQL

export HINDSIGHT_API_DATABASE_URL=postgresql://user:pass@localhost:5432/hindsight
export HINDSIGHT_API_LLM_PROVIDER=groq
export HINDSIGHT_API_LLM_API_KEY=gsk_xxxxxxxxxxxx

hindsight-api

Docker

docker run --rm -it -p 8888:8888 \
  -e HINDSIGHT_API_LLM_API_KEY=$OPENAI_API_KEY \
  -v $HOME/.hindsight-docker:/home/hindsight/.pg0 \
  ghcr.io/vectorize-io/hindsight:latest

MCP Server

For local MCP integration without running the full API server:

hindsight-local-mcp

This runs a stdio-based MCP server that can be used directly with MCP-compatible clients.

Key Features

  • Multi-Strategy Retrieval (TEMPR) — Semantic, keyword, graph, and temporal search combined with RRF fusion
  • Entity Graph — Automatic entity extraction and relationship tracking
  • Temporal Reasoning — Native support for time-based queries
  • Disposition Traits — Configurable skepticism, literalism, and empathy influence opinion formation
  • Three Memory Types — World facts, bank actions, and formed opinions with confidence scores
