Can my AI agent trigger an immediate document processing job?

Yes! If you have a workflow configured to pull files from an S3 bucket and load them into a Pinecone index, you can ask your agent to `trigger workflow XYZ`. It will start the execution and return the new Job ID, which you can use to track the progress.

How can I verify if my RAG pipelines are failing or succeeding?

Ask your agent to list your workflow jobs. It will securely connect to Unstructured's engine and return historical and active executions, displaying statuses such as 'completed', 'failed', or 'in_progress'. This is extremely useful for MLOps engineers diagnosing ingestion alerts directly in their terminal.

Can I edit the destination database directly through the agent?

This server is focused on auditing and executing your existing pipelines. Currently, you can list all connections (sources and destinations) and obtain their details, but creating or destructively modifying vector database connectors must be done inside the Unstructured dashboard for security.
