Search Index tool

Introduced 2.13

The SearchIndexTool searches an index using a query written in query domain-specific language (DSL) and returns the query results.

Step 1: Register a flow agent that will run the SearchIndexTool

A flow agent runs a sequence of tools in order and returns the last tool’s output. To create a flow agent, send the following register agent request:

POST /_plugins/_ml/agents/_register
{
  "name": "Test_Agent_For_Search_Index_Tool",
  "type": "flow",
  "description": "this is a test for search index tool",
  "memory": {
    "type": "demo"
  },
  "tools": [
    {
      "type": "SearchIndexTool"
    }
  ]
}

copy

OpenSearch responds with an agent ID:

{
  "agent_id": "9X7xWI0Bpc3sThaJdY9i"
}

Step 2: Run the agent

Before you run the agent, make sure that you add the sample OpenSearch Dashboards Sample eCommerce orders dataset. To learn more, see Adding sample data.

Then, run the agent by sending the following request. The SearchIndexTool takes one parameter named input. This parameter includes the index name and the query:

POST /_plugins/_ml/agents/9X7xWI0Bpc3sThaJdY9i/_execute
{
  "parameters": {
    "input": "{\"index\": \"opensearch_dashboards_sample_data_ecommerce\", \"query\": {\"size\": 20,  \"_source\": \"email\"}}"
  }
}

copy

For parameter descriptions, see Execute parameters.

The query passed in the previous request is equivalent to the following query:

GET opensearch_dashboards_sample_data_ecommerce/_search
{
  "size": 20,
  "_source": "email"
}

OpenSearch returns the query results:

{
  "inference_results": [
    {
      "output": [
        {
          "name": "response",
          "result": """{"_index":"opensearch_dashboards_sample_data_ecommerce","_source":{"email":"eddie@underwood-family.zzz"},"_id":"_bJVWY0BAehlDanXJnAJ","_score":1.0}
