Available actions

## 948 actions your agents can run in Needle

Tool to add files to a collection by providing file URLs. Use when you need to add one or more files to an existing collection. URLs can be public or private (generated via the Files API).
- Add Files to Local Connector  
Tool to add files to a local connector by providing file metadata. Use when you need to add external files to a connector using their URLs.
- Create Collection  
Tool to create a new collection. Use after confirming the collection name.
- Create Local Connector  
Tool to create a local connector that monitors specified folders on a device. Use when setting up file indexing from a local machine into Needle collections.
- Delete files from a collection  
Tool to delete files from a specific collection by providing file IDs. Use after confirming valid file IDs to remove from the collection.
- Delete files from local connector  
Tool to delete files from a local connector by filename or file IDs. Use when you need to remove files from a connector's local storage.

- Get collection stats  
Tool to retrieve statistics for a specific collection by its ID. Use when you need document count, index size, and timestamps after confirming the collection exists. Zero document count is a valid response for empty collections, not an error.

Tool to get a short-lived signed private download URL for a Needle file. Use when you need to retrieve file content but the public storage URL requires authentication. The returned URL should be used immediately as it expires quickly.
- Get File Upload URL  
Tool to get signed URLs for uploading local files to Needle. Use when you need to upload files to a collection. The upload URLs are valid for a short time, so upload files immediately after receiving the URLs. Multiple content types can be specified to generate multiple upload URLs in a single requ…
- Get local connector  
Tool to retrieve details of a local connector by its ID. Use when you need information about a specific local connector's configuration, device details, and associated folders.
- List Collection Files  
Tool to list all files within a specific collection by its ID. Returns file metadata (including file URLs) only — not document text content; fetch file URLs separately to access content. Use when you have a collection ID and need to retrieve its files. Supports pagination.
