Knowledge bases

Knowledge bases make your documents queryable with embedding search; agents use this via a tool or board node.

Create and list

  • New base: name and short description.
  • From the list, open a base for document management and query screens.

Document upload

  • Supported types are usually PDF, TXT, DOCX, CSV, MD, etc. (full list must match the backend).
  • Per-file size limits (e.g. 10 MB) and subscription file count / storage quotas may apply.
  • Drag-and-drop or file picker; progress indicator.

Embedding status

Typical states:

StatusMeaning
PENDINGNot processed yet
PROCESSINGEmbedding in progress
COMPLETEDReady to use
FAILEDError; retry or fix the file

You can start embedding per file or in bulk, and delete embeddings when needed.

Query

  • Production query: Optimized answer for end users.
  • Test / debug query: Source chunks, embedding, or debug info (depends on backend parameters).

Limits

Example subscription fields: knowledgeBases, knowledge_files, storage_mb. Create or upload may be rejected when over limit.

Backend contract

Full path prefixes (/api/v1, etc.) and field names must match your environment’s API. See Knowledge base API.
