Can I perform a semantic similarity search using my agent?

Yes. Use the `vector_search` tool by providing the target Table name and a JSON array of floating-point numbers representing your query embedding. Your agent will return the k-nearest rows from LanceDB based on semantic similarity.

How do I create a new table with a specific Apache Arrow schema?

The `create_table` tool allows your agent to initialize a new columnar vector table. You just need to provide the desired Table name and a valid Apache Arrow schema mapping in JSON format defining dimensions and scalar fields.

Can my agent insert new embeddings directly into a LanceDB table?

Absolutely. Use the `insert_rows` tool to persist new data rows containing native embeddings and arbitrary JSON metadata. Your agent will handle the payload delivery, and LanceDB will automatically update its ANN index.
