Sources | Ada

Sources represent an external knowledge source, such as a knowledge base or document. Sources help you keep track of, organize, and name the sources of knowledge your AI Agent has access to. In Ada, all articles must have a Source.

Availability rules

A source can carry an availability-rule template in availability_rules. It uses the same rule schema as an article. See Availability rules for the schema, operators and examples.

Each new article created under the source whose request omits availability_rules gets the template. An article that sends its own availability_rules keeps them. Existing articles keep their rules when the template changes.

Field semantics on create and update

Value	Effect
Rule object	Set (or replace) the template on the source.
`null`	On update, remove the template. On create, the same as an omitted field.
Field omitted	On create, no template. A source an App creates gets the rules set on its connection. On update, leave the template unchanged.

Field semantics on read

availability_rules is a rule object when the source has a template, or null when it has none.

You can also set the template from the Ada dashboard. On the Sources tab, click Settings beside the source.
