Installation

or install from source:

pip install -e .

Quick Start

from tablestore_agent_storage import (
    AgentStorageClient,
    UpdateKnowledgeBaseRequest,
    UpdateDocumentRequest,
    ListChunksRequest,
    UpdateChunkItem,
    UpdateChunksRequest,
)

# Initialize client with unified credentials
client = AgentStorageClient(
    access_key_id='your_access_key_id',
    access_key_secret='your_access_key_secret',
    oss_endpoint='https://oss-cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com',
    oss_bucket_name='your_bucket_name',
    ots_endpoint='https://your_instance.cn-hangzhou.ots.aliyuncs.com',
    ots_instance_name='your_instance_name'
)

# Create a knowledge base
response = client.create_knowledge_base({
    'knowledgeBaseName': 'my_knowledge_base',
    'description': 'My first knowledge base'
})

# Update knowledge base
client.update_knowledge_base(
    UpdateKnowledgeBaseRequest(
        knowledge_base_name="my_knowledge_base",
        description="Updated description",
        tags=["production", "v2"]
    )
)

# Add a document with OSS key
client.add_documents({
    'knowledgeBaseName': 'my_knowledge_base',
    'documents': [{
        'ossKey': 'oss://your-bucket/path/to/file.pdf',
        'metadata': {'author': 'aliyun'}
    }]
})

# Or add a document by uploading a local file
client.upload_documents({
    'knowledgeBaseName': 'my_knowledge_base',
    'documents': [{
        'filePath': '/path/to/local/file.pdf',
        'metadata': {'author': 'aliyun'}
    }]
})

# Update document metadata
client.update_document(
    UpdateDocumentRequest(
        knowledge_base_name="my_knowledge_base",
        doc_id="doc_123",
        metadata={"author": "new_author"}
    )
)

# List chunks
chunk_list = client.list_chunks(
    ListChunksRequest(
        knowledge_base_name="my_knowledge_base",
        doc_id="doc_123",
        max_results=10
    )
)

# Update chunks
client.update_chunks(
    UpdateChunksRequest(
        knowledge_base_name="my_knowledge_base",
        chunks=[
            UpdateChunkItem(chunk_id=1, doc_id="doc_123", title="new title"),
            UpdateChunkItem(chunk_id=2, doc_id="doc_123", content="new content"),
        ],
    )
)

# Search/Retrieve
results = client.retrieve({
    'knowledgeBaseName': 'knowledgeBaseName',
    "retrievalQuery": {
        "text": "text to search",
        "type": "TEXT"
    }
})

API Reference

Knowledge Base Operations

• create_knowledge_base(request) - Create new knowledge base
• list_knowledge_base(request) - List all knowledge bases
• describe_knowledge_base(request) - Get knowledge base details
• update_knowledge_base(request) - Update knowledge base description/tags/retrieval config
• delete_knowledge_base(request) - Delete knowledge base

Document Operations

• add_documents(request) - Add a document to a knowledge base (requires OSS key)
• upload_documents(request) - Add a document by uploading a local file (automatically uploads to OSS)
• update_document(request) - Update document metadata by docId or ossKey
• list_documents(request) - List documents in knowledge base
• get_document(request) - Get document details
• delete_documents(request) - Delete documents

Chunk Operations

• list_chunks(request) - List chunks by docId/ossKey with pagination support
• update_chunks(request) - Batch update chunk title/content/status

Retrieval Operations

• retrieve(request) - Perform vector search/retrieval

Update Request Semantics

UpdateKnowledgeBaseRequest, UpdateDocumentRequest, and UpdateChunkItem use an internal UNSET sentinel:

• field not provided: keep current value unchanged
• field explicitly set to None: clear this field on server side

This makes partial update behavior explicit and predictable.

Configuration

The SDK requires the following configuration parameters:

• access_key_id: Your Aliyun access key ID (shared by OSS and OTS)
• access_key_secret: Your Aliyun access key secret (shared by OSS and OTS)
• oss_endpoint: OSS service endpoint
• oss_bucket_name: OSS bucket name
• ots_endpoint: OTS service endpoint (optional)
• ots_instance_name: OTS instance name (optional)

Examples

See the examples/ directory for more detailed usage examples.
