docs

Ask Celigo's product documentation a question from the terminal. docs search sends the question to the platform's GPTverse retrieval endpoint — the same service behind the Platform MCP server's knowledge-base search — and prints an AI-generated answer with the source articles it drew from (help center, community, guides), each cited with a URL and relevance score.

This is documentation search, not your account: your own resources live under account search and the resource groups. It is also not the account's AI-agent knowledge bases — that is a separate, upcoming resource.

A pure query — nothing is created or modified — so it is allowed in read mode even though the request is a POST.

Note: the backing endpoint (POST /v1/gptverse/knowledge-base/answer) is part of the platform's GPTverse service and is not published in the API reference.

celigo docs search <question...> [flags]

Supports all global flags.

Subcommands

Subcommand	Purpose
search <query...>	Ask a question; prints {answer, sources, thread_id}.

---

celigo docs search <query...>

Ask the product documentation a question. Bare words are joined into one question, so quotes are optional. The response carries the answer text, the cited source articles, and a thread_id — pass it back via --thread to ask a follow-up in the same conversation.

Signature

celigo docs search <query...> [--max-sources <n>] [--score-threshold <n>] [--thread <id>] [--no-sources]

Arguments

Argument	Type	Required	Description
<query...>	string (variadic)	Yes	The question to ask. Words are joined, so quotes are optional.

Flags

Flag	Type	Default	Description
--max-sources <n>	integer	5 (API default)	Maximum source articles to include (1–20).
--score-threshold <n>	number	0.75 (API default)	Minimum relevance score for source articles (0.2–1.0).
--thread <id>	string	—	thread_id from a previous answer, to follow up in context.
--no-sources	boolean	false	Print the answer alone — skip the source-article list.

Example

# Quotes optional — bare words are joined
celigo docs search how do I configure a delta export

# Just the answer text
celigo docs search "What does the flow error 'connection offline' mean?" --jq .answer

# A follow-up in the same conversation
celigo docs search --thread th_01J9... "And how do I resolve it from the CLI?"

Corresponds to: POST /v1/gptverse/knowledge-base/answer (not published in the API reference).

Gotchas

• Answers are LLM-generated and can take a while. The CLI gives this request a longer budget than a normal API call — expect seconds, not milliseconds. The sources are the ground truth; follow the cited URLs for anything you plan to rely on.
• Follow-ups need the thread_id. Each response includes one. Pass it back with --thread to keep the conversation's context; without it every question starts fresh.
• This is not your account's data. docs search reads Celigo's public product documentation. For resources on your account use account search or the resource groups; for exact request/response shapes use the API reference.
• Not the AI-agent knowledge bases. The account-level knowledge bases that AI agents consult are a separate upcoming resource — the knowledge-bases command name is reserved for it.
• Allowed in read mode. The request is a POST, but it only reads — it is on the CLI's read-only-POST allowlist, so a read-mode profile can use it freely.
