# Create a Knowledge Base Item

> Create a new knowledge base item.

Usage: Pass the `vector_id` into your agent's `tools` to enable the agent to use the vector store.

```json theme={null}
"tools": [
    "KB-55e64dae-1585-4632-ae97-c909c288c6bc"
]
```

### Headers

**authorization** `string` *required*

Your API key for authentication.

### Body

**name** `string` *required*

The name of the knowledge base item. Make this a clear name that describes the contents of the store.

**description** `string` *required*

A description of the knowledge base item. This can be a longer description of the contents of the store, or what terms to use to search for vectors in the store.

This is visible to the AI, so making it descriptive can help the AI understand when to use it or not.

**text** `string` *required*

The full text document to be stored and vectorized.

### Response

**vector\_id** `string`

The unique identifier for the knowledge base item.

Will start with "KB-".

```json theme={null}
{
  "vector_id": "KB-55e64dae-1585-4632-ae97-c909c288c6bc"
}
```
