Notes

Read-only. Returns the knowledge base (same fields as the list endpoint) and all of its sources in one flattened shape. Each source has: id; kind (“document” for files and URLs, “text_entry” for text, snippet and FAQ); type (file | url | text | faq | snippet); title (original file name, URL or entry title); filename, source_url, file_type, file_size_bytes (documents); status (queued | processing | completed | failed) and error_message; total_chunks and vector_count; content_preview (first 300 characters, text entries only) and content_length; processed_at, created_at, updated_at. Text is previewed here; use Get knowledge base source for the full text, and List knowledge base sources to filter or page.
