## From README

Prerequisites CLI installed and logged in (see skill). Target collection must exist on the target cluster. Commands Reference Start an Import Job List Imports Check Import Status Import Sources import start reads its source from --body. There are two kinds of source: A managed volume (preferred when the files are local). Upload them with zilliz volume upload (see the volume skill), then reference the volume and the file paths inside it: Object storage URLs the user already has, with access keys when the bucket is not public: Each inner list in dataPaths / objectUrls is one file group. Supported file formats: Parquet, JSON, CSV. --body also accepts dbName and partitionName. Import stages (zilliz stage ...) are deprecated in favor of volumes. The commands still work for existing stages, but do not suggest them for new imports.
