external-collection

Prerequisites

1. CLI installed, logged in, and cluster context set (see setup skill).
2. The target collection must already exist as an external collection (created with an externalSource / externalSpec schema in the collection skill). Plain in-place collections do not have refresh jobs.
3. The cluster must be running a kite-coordinator build that exposes /v2/vectordb/jobs/external_collection/* (PR #5735 or later). On older data planes the API returns 404 -- in that case ask the user to upgrade the cluster.

Commands Reference

The external-collection resource has a single operation, refresh, with three actions: trigger, describe, and list. All three are data-plane calls and inherit the database from the current context unless overridden with --database.
