- CLI installed, logged in, and cluster context set (see setup skill).
- The target collection must already exist as an external collection
(created with an
externalSource/externalSpecschema in the collection skill). Plain in-place collections do not have refresh jobs. - The cluster must be running a
kite-coordinatorbuild 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.
