needle_add_file

Add, process, and index documents from URLs to a Needle collection, enabling semantic search for PDFs, Word files, TXT, and HTML. Expand your searchable knowledge base efficiently.

Instructions

Add a new document to a Needle collection by providing a URL for download. Supports multiple file formats including: - PDF documents - Microsoft Word files (DOC, DOCX) - Plain text files (TXT) - Web pages (HTML)

        The document will be:
        1. Downloaded from the provided URL
        2. Processed for text extraction
        3. Indexed for semantic search
        
        Use this tool when you need to:
        - Add new documents to a collection
        - Make documents searchable
        - Expand your knowledge base
        
        Important: Documents require processing time before they're searchable.
        Check processing status using needle_list_files before searching new content.
