docs(python): iii-sdk example replaces standalone REST client

 **Sandboxed MCP clients** (Flatpak / Snap / restrictive containers) that can't reach the host's `localhost`: also set `"AGENTMEMORY_FORCE_PROXY": "1"` in the `env` block, and point `AGENTMEMORY_URL` at a route the sandbox can actually reach (e.g. your LAN IP). See [#234](https://github.com/rohitg00/agentmemory/issues/234) for the diagnostic walkthrough.

+agentmemory registers its core operations as iii functions (`mem::remember`, `mem::observe`, `mem::context`, `mem::smart-search`, `mem::forget`). Any language with an iii SDK can call them directly over `ws://localhost:49134` — no separate REST client per language.

+# Python usage via `iii-sdk`
+
+agentmemory registers its core operations as iii functions (`mem::remember`,
+`mem::observe`, `mem::context`, `mem::smart-search`, `mem::forget`). Any
+language with an iii SDK can call them directly over the WebSocket transport
+on `ws://localhost:49134` — no separate REST client needed.
+
+This example uses the official Python SDK.
+
+## Install
+
+```bash
+pip install iii-sdk
+```
+
+## Quickstart
+
+Start the agentmemory daemon (defaults to `ws://localhost:49134`, REST on
+`:3111`):
+
+```bash
+npx -y @agentmemory/agentmemory
+```
+
+Then from Python:
+
+```python
+from iii import register_worker
+
+iii = register_worker("ws://localhost:49134")
+iii.connect()
+
+iii.trigger({
+    "function_id": "mem::remember",
+    "payload": {
+        "project": "demo",
+        "title": "auth-stack",
+        "content": "Service uses HMAC bearer tokens; refresh every 24h.",
+        "concepts": ["auth", "hmac", "refresh"],
+    },
+})
+
+hits = iii.trigger({
+    "function_id": "mem::smart-search",
+    "payload": {"project": "demo", "query": "how do tokens refresh", "limit": 5},
+})
+print(hits)
+```
+
+## Functions exposed
+
+| Function id | Purpose | Required payload |
+|---|---|---|
+| `mem::remember` | Save a memory | `project`, `title`, `content` |
+| `mem::observe` | Hook-driven observation ingest | `hookType`, `sessionId`, `project`, `cwd`, `timestamp` |
+| `mem::context` | Render context for a session under a token budget | `sessionId`, `project`, optional `budget` |
+| `mem::smart-search` | Hybrid BM25 + vector + concept recall | `project`, `query`, optional `limit` |
+| `mem::forget` | Delete a memory by id | `id` |
+
+The HTTP-trigger wrappers under `api::*` (callable via REST on `:3111`) exist
+for the same operations if you need to reach the daemon from a host without an
+iii runtime. Inside the iii ecosystem, calling the `mem::*` functions directly
+is lower latency.

+- `observe_and_recall.py` — observation ingest + context rendering at a token
+  budget.
