Body ParametersJSONExpand Collapse
next_action: "INDEX"
wait_for_completion: optional boolean

Wait for indexing to fully complete before responding. On RAGs with vector indexing enabled, this additionally waits for Vectorize ingestion confirmation (up to 40s) so the returned item reflects a queryable state. On timeout the item is returned in running state and the background alarm continues polling. Defaults to false.
