Standardized parsing for your team

Commit your server config to the repo and let `create_parsing_upload` handle document ingestion for every developer. It ensures everyone is using the same parsing logic for their RAG tasks. Use `get_parsing_result` to grab the output and keep your team's code in sync. It eliminates the variation that comes from different local parsing scripts.

Centralized pipeline management

Manage your infrastructure by using `list_pipelines` to audit your team's document sources. You can check individual settings with `get_pipeline` to maintain consistency across the project. This makes it easy to see which pipelines are active for your current sprint. It keeps the whole team aligned on the data being used for retrieval.

Track ingestion tasks globally

Use `list_parsing_jobs` to monitor the progress of documents processed across your project. It gives your team a shared view of data availability. Use `list_projects` to manage access to different ingestion environments. It provides a clear way to handle multiple data sources within VS Code.
