Knowledge Management Tools
==========================
An operator agent that manages a knowledge base by chat: ingest a
website page by page, list what is loaded grouped by site, check a
site's status, and remove content.
This is the write side of knowledge. Hand it to a builder or operator
agent; end-user-facing agents get search only (search_knowledge=True).
remove_content requires confirmation by default.
Requirements:
- Qdrant running locally: ./cookbook/scripts/run_qdrant.sh
- OPENAI_API_KEY
- (optional) PARALLEL_API_KEY for higher-quality page extraction

if __name__ == "__main__":
asyncio.run(main())This operator discovers pages through the site's sitemap, falling back to the supplied page when no sitemap is available. max_pages=25 is the default per-ingestion cap, not a promise to load all Agno documentation; a tool call can override it up to the hard cap of 500. Inspect the returned page and failure counts.
The example explicitly enables local path ingestion and uses the default shared scope, so imported files become shared knowledge. Remove ingest_path=True for website-only ingestion. remove_content requests human confirmation; an application using that operation must handle and continue the paused run. The two active prompts do not request removal.
