An Agent can access a Memo page only when it is the conversation’s primary Agent or a member of that conversation. An inaccessible resource and a nonexistent resource both return `RESOURCE_NOT_FOUND` to prevent existence leaks. Never conclude from not found alone that a page was deleted; the ID, conversation context, or membership may be wrong. A community-only page with no conversation binding is outside the action surface and also returns not found; manage it through the web interface.

Reads permit the public surface. Every mutation—including add comment and restore version—does not; in a public conversation, explain that the operation must continue privately. `delete_page` and `delete_comment` require user confirmation with strict drift. A knowledge card cannot grant an action, permission, or confirmation bypass.

Page and comment content supplied to mutations is converted to a typed length hint in audited arguments; `get_page` plaintext comes from the live table, not audit history. Keep content and private resource IDs out of routing telemetry. Distinguish dry-run wording from a live result. `copy_to_notebook` creates a new Note only when the Agent can read the Memo and has an explicit write grant on the target Notebook; managed images are cloned into the target scope rather than reusing cross-scope references. Likes and image upload remain web-only. Runtime results and typed error codes are authoritative.
