Resource identifiers use the physical prefixes emitted by the implementation (`vs_` knowledge base, `vsf_` document, `seed_` web source, `kb-` API-key slug). This spec documents the public REST surface only. Internal helpers (private automations prefixed with `_`) and admin/GDPR lifecycle operations are not part of the public contract. contact: name: Prisme.ai url: https://prisme.ai servers: - url: https://{host}/v2/workspaces/slug:storage/webhooks description: Prisme.ai workspace webhooks variables: host: default: api.studio.prisme.ai description: API host (override for self-hosted or sandbox) security: - BearerAuth: [] - WorkspaceApiKeyAuth: [] tags: - name: Knowledge Bases description: >- Create, list, read, update, and delete knowledge bases (vector-backed document stores). - name: Documents description: >- Ingest and manage documents (uploaded files, web pages, remote files, connector documents) and their indexing. - name: Web Sources description: >- Recurring web crawl seeds that discover and index pages into a knowledge base. - name: Search description: Semantic search over a knowledge base. - name: Access description: Per-knowledge-base access bindings (user, group, org, agent principals). - name: API Keys description: Per-knowledge-base API keys for connector authentication. - name: Stats description: Aggregate dashboard statistics. - name: Skills description: Prompt/instruction registry entries. paths: /v1/knowledge_bases/{knowledgeBaseId}/documents/{documentId}: parameters: - name: knowledgeBaseId in: path required: true schema: type: string pattern: ^vs_[A-Za-z0-9-]+$ maxLength: 128 description: >- Knowledge base id.

The server computes `source_key` and dedups on `(knowledge_base_id, source_key)`. `fetch_url` is intentionally ABSENT from this schema: it is write-only at the API boundary (may embed credentials). For `source_type: uploaded_file` no fetch URL is stored at all - storage mints a fresh short-lived one (as a privileged workspace) whenever the crawler needs bytes, so expired-token failures are structurally impossible for uploaded files. required: - id - object - knowledge_base_id - source_type - source_key - source_url - origin - status - created_at properties: id: type: string pattern: ^vsf_[A-Za-z0-9-]+$ maxLength: 128 object: type: string enum: - knowledge_base.document knowledge_base_id: type: string pattern: ^vs_[A-Za-z0-9-]+$ source_type: type: string enum: - uploaded_file - remote_file - web_page - connector_document description: | Discriminator. `uploaded_file` for platform-native files (attached by `native_file_id`); `remote_file` for document bytes at an arbitrary URL; `web_page` for HTML pages (single URL or crawl-discovered); `connector_document` for sources owned by a third-party connector. source_key: type: string maxLength: 2048 readOnly: true description: | Server-computed canonical source URI; the dedup key, UNIQUE with `knowledge_base_id`. `prisme-file://{workspace_id}/{native_file_id}` for uploaded files (stable across renames - never the rebuilt native URL); `web://{normalized_url}` otherwise. Normalization is conservative (strip fragment, lowercase scheme + host, normalize percent-encoding, strip default ports - query params untouched) and shared with the crawler's canonicalization. source_url: type: string format: uri description: | User-facing provenance URL - citations, UI links, audit logs. Stable by construction for connector documents (e.g. SharePoint webUrl) and web pages (the page URL). For uploaded files, a display URL (caller-overridable at attach time); downloadable links are minted lazily via `GET /documents/{document_id}/source_url`. native_file_id: type: string description: 'Platform-native file id when `source_type: uploaded_file`.' nullable: true native_file_workspace_id: type: string description: >- Workspace owning the native file. Defaults to the caller's workspace. nullable: true origin: type: string enum: - user - web_source description: | Provenance, set at row creation and never overwritten by seed adoption. Seed deletion cascades only over `origin: web_source` rows - a manually attached page later discovered by a seed keeps `origin: user` and survives the seed's deletion (losing only its `web_source_id`). web_source_id: type: string pattern: ^seed_[A-Za-z0-9-]+$ description: | Primary producing/adopting seed (origin-of-record), when any. Multi-attribution (a page reachable from several seeds) is carried by `parent_web_source_ids`. nullable: true parent_web_source_ids: type: array readOnly: true items: type: string pattern: ^seed_[A-Za-z0-9-]+$ description: | All seeds whose crawl scope covers this page (multi-attribution, §F-5). Backs per-seed page counts and seed cascade-delete: deleting a seed removes it from this array and drops the row only when the array empties AND `origin: web_source`. Empty/absent ⇒ unattributed (counted in the `/web_sources` summary residual). crawler_document_id: type: string description: Crawler-side document id, set once the crawler has seen this source. nullable: true status: type: string enum: - queued - in_progress - completed - failed - fetch_expired - rejected description: | Authoritative indexing status. Transitions are guarded by `index_generation` - stale or duplicate callbacks are ignored. `fetch_expired` is connector-facing: the stored ephemeral `fetch_url` no longer works and the owning connector must refresh it via the upsert (`POST /documents` with the same `source_url`); it is never a user-actionable error and never occurs for `uploaded_file` sources. `rejected` means an external hook (`before_file_ingest` / `after_file_parse`) blocked the content - see `rejection_reason` / `rejected_by`. index_generation: type: integer minimum: 1 readOnly: true description: | Monotonically increasing per document; incremented on every (re)index.

Editable via PATCH. chunks_count: type: integer minimum: 0 nullable: true vectors_count: type: integer minimum: 0 nullable: true last_error: type: object description: | Most recent failure context. Cleared when a new indexing attempt transitions to `in_progress`. `code: SOURCE_UNAVAILABLE` signals a dangling reference (e.g. the native file was deleted out-of-band - native files emit no lifecycle events, so this surfaces at the next fetch). properties: code: type: string message: type: string details: type: object additionalProperties: true timestamp: type: integer nullable: true errors: type: array readOnly: true description: | Bounded retry/failure history (the most recent failure is also in `last_error`).
