Add and Index Provider Data Source

Index external data sources through third-party providers.

Overview​

Provider data sources enable indexing external data through registered third-party provider configurations. Once indexed, assistants can use provider-specific tools to work with this data. Additionally, some provider tools can be used independently without requiring a data source.

Access Required

This functionality is only available to users with the isAdmin role.

Provider Capabilities​

Provider capabilities depend on their configuration. External providers might enable:

  • Analyze code structure and patterns
  • Explore repository contents
  • Extract insights from indexed data
  • Perform advanced code understanding tasks

  3. In the Data Source Context section, click the dropdown menu
  4. Select your Provider data source from the list
  5. In the Available tools section, enable the provider-specific tools
  6. Save the assistant configuration

Now your assistant can access and analyze code through the provider's external tooling, enabling it to:

  • Perform advanced code analysis with specialized tools
  • Leverage external analysis engines and capabilities
  • Access provider-specific insights and metrics
  • Combine indexed data with real-time analysis
  • Utilize both data source context and independent tool operations

Your Provider data source is now configured and ready to enhance your assistants with external analysis toolkit integration.
