Agent Configs

Contextual AI Agent Parameters

Python SDK

Node.js SDK

Retrieve a list of `Datastores`.

Performs `cursor`-based pagination if the number of `Datastores` exceeds the requested `limit`. The returned `cursor` can be passed to the next `GET /datastores` call to retrieve the next set of `Datastores`.

List Datastores

Create a new `Datastore`.

A `Datastore` is a collection of documents. Documents can be ingested into and deleted from a `Datastore`.

A `Datastore` can be linked to one or more `Agents`, and conversely, an `Agent` can be associated with one or more `Datastores` to ground its responses with relevant data. This flexible many-to-many relationship allows `Agents` to draw from multiple sources of information. This linkage of `Datastore` to `Agent` is done through the `Create Agent` or `Edit Agent` APIs.

> Note that self-serve users are currently required to create datastores through our UI. Otherwise, they will receive the following message: "This endpoint is disabled as you need to go through checkout. Please use the UI to make this request."

Create Datastore

Reset the give `Datastore`. This operation is irreversible and it deletes all the documents associated with the datastore.

Reset Datastore

Edit Datastore Configuration

Delete a given `Datastore`, including all the documents ingested into it. This operation is irreversible.

This operation will fail with status code 400 if there is an active `Agent` associated with the `Datastore`.

Delete Datastore

Get the details of a given `Datastore`, including its name, create time, and the list of `Agents` which are currently configured to use the `Datastore`.

Get Datastore Metadata

Get list of documents in a given `Datastore`, including document `id`, `name`, and ingestion job `status`.

Performs `cursor`-based pagination if the number of documents exceeds the requested `limit`. The returned `cursor` can be passed to the next `GET /datastores/{datastore_id}/documents` call to retrieve the next set of documents.

List Documents

Ingest a document into a given `Datastore`.

Ingestion is an asynchronous task. Returns a document `id` which can be used to track the status of the ingestion job through calls to the `GET /datastores/{datastore_id}/documents/{document_id}/metadata` API.

This `id` can also be used to delete the document through the `DELETE /datastores/{datastore_id}/documents/{document_id}` API.

`file` must be a PDF, HTML, DOC(X) or PPT(X) file. The filename must end with one of the following extensions: `.pdf`, `.html`, `.htm`, `.mhtml`, `.doc`, `.docx`, `.ppt`, `.pptx`.

Ingest Document

Post details of a given document that will enrich the chunk and be added to the context or just for filtering. If Just for filtering, start with "_" in the key.

Update Document Metadata

Delete a given document from its `Datastore`. This operation is irreversible.

Delete Document

List Agents

Create a new `Agent` with a specific configuration.

This creates a specialized RAG `Agent` which queries over one or multiple `Datastores` to retrieve relevant data on which its generations are grounded.

Retrieval and generation parameters are defined in the provided `Agent` configuration.

If no `datastore_id` is provided in the configuration, this API automatically creates an empty `Datastore` and configures the `Agent` to use the newly created `Datastore`.

> Note that self-serve users are currently required to create agents through our UI. Otherwise, they will receive the following message: "This endpoint is disabled as you need to go through checkout. Please use the UI to make this request."

Create Agent

Modify a given `Agent` to utilize the provided configuration.

Fields not included in the request body will not be modified.

Edit Agent

Delete a given `Agent`. This is an irreversible operation.

Note: `Datastores` which are associated with the `Agent` will not be deleted, even if no other `Agent` is using them. To delete a `Datastore`, use the `DELETE /datastores/{datastore_id}` API.

Delete Agent

Get metadata and configuration of a given `Agent`.

Get Agent Metadata

Reset a given `Agent` to default configuration.

Reset Agent

Start a conversation with an `Agent` and receive its generated response, along with relevant retrieved data and attributions.

Query

Return metadata of the contents used to generate the response for a given message.

Get Retrieval Info

Provide feedback for a generation or a retrieval. Feedback can be used to track overall `Agent` performance through the `Feedback` page in the Contextual UI, and as a basis for model fine-tuning.

If providing feedback on a retrieval, include the `message_id` from the `/query` response, and a `content_id` returned in the query's `retrieval_contents` list.

For feedback on generations, include `message_id` and do not include a `content_id`.

Provide Feedback

Returns usage and user-provided feedback data. This information can be used for data-driven improvements and optimization.

Get Metrics

Given a `query`, `response`, and a `unit_test`, return the response's `score` on the unit test on a 5-point continuous scale. The total input cannot exceed 7000 tokens.

See a code example in [our blog post](https://contextual.ai/news/lmunit/). Email [lmunit-feedback@contextual.ai](mailto:lmunit-feedback@contextual.ai) with any feedback or questions.

LMUnit

Get Users

Modify a given `User`.

Fields not included in the request body will not be modified.

Update User

Invite users to the tenant. This checks if the user is already in the tenant and if not, creates the user. We will return a list of user emails that were successfully created (including existing users).

Invite Users

Remove User

Generate a response using Contextual's Grounded Language Model (GLM), an LLM engineered specifically to prioritize faithfulness to in-context retrievals over parametric knowledge to reduce hallucinations in Retrieval-Augmented Generation and agentic use cases.

The total request cannot exceed 32,000 tokens.

See our [blog post](https://contextual.ai/blog/introducing-grounded-language-model/) and [code examples](https://colab.research.google.com/github/ContextualAI/examples/blob/main/03-standalone-api/02-generate/generate.ipynb). Email [glm-feedback@contextual.ai](mailto:glm-feedback@contextual.ai) with any feedback or questions.

Generate

Rank a list of documents according to their relevance to a query primarily and your custom instructions secondarily.  We evaluated the model on instructions for recency, document type, source, and metadata, and it can generalize to other instructions as well. The reranker supports multilinguality.

The total request cannot exceed 400,000 tokens. The combined length of the query, instruction and any document with its metadata must not exceed 8,000 tokens.

See our [blog post](https://contextual.ai/blog/introducing-instruction-following-reranker/) and [code examples](https://colab.research.google.com/github/ContextualAI/examples/blob/main/03-standalone-api/03-rerank/rerank.ipynb). Email [rerank-feedback@contextual.ai](mailto:rerank-feedback@contextual.ai) with any feedback or questions.

Rerank

Parse a file into a structured Markdown and/or JSON. Files must be less than 100MB and 400 pages. We use LibreOffice to convert DOC(X) and PPT(X) files to PDF, which may affect page count.

See our [blog post](https://contextual.ai/blog/document-parser-for-rag) and [code examples](https://github.com/ContextualAI/examples/blob/main/03-standalone-api/04-parse/parse.ipynb). Email [parse-feedback@contextual.ai](mailto:parse-feedback@contextual.ai) with any feedback or questions.

Parse File

Get the status of a parse job.

Parse job results are retained for up to 30 days after job creation. Fetching a status for a parse job that is older than 30 days will return a 404 error.

Parse Status

Get the results of a parse job.

Parse job results are retained for up to 30 days after job creation. Fetching results for a parse job that is older than 30 days will return a 404 error.

Parse Result

Get list of parse jobs, sorted from most recent to oldest.

Returns all jobs from the last 30 days, or since the optional `uploaded_after` timestamp.
