  - max_price (number): Maximum allowed price per thousand queries (CPM)
- Optional arguments:
  - data_sources (string[]): List of index names to search over
  - max_num_results (integer): Number of results returned after reranking
  - similarity_threshold (number): Minimum similarity score for included results
  - query_rewrite (boolean): Whether to rewrite the query for better performance
feedback - Submit user feedback for a transaction
- Required arguments:
  - tx_id (string): Transaction ID to provide feedback for
  - feedback (string): User feedback text
  - sentiment (string): Sentiment rating ("very good", "good", "bad", "very bad")
