A knowledge source wraps a search index with extra properties for agentic retrieval. It's a required definition in a knowledge agent. We provide guidance on how to create specific knowledge sources, but generally, you can:

+ Create a knowledge source as top-level resources on your search service. Each knowledge source points to exactly one index, and that index must [meet the criteria for agentic retrieval](agentic-retrieval-how-to-create-index.md).

+ Reference one or more knowledge sources in a knowledge agent. In an agentic retrieval pipeline, it's possible to query against multiple knowledge sources in single request. Subqueries are generated for each knowledge source. Top results are returned in the retrieval response.
2222

2323
+ Use a knowledge source definition to generate a full indexer pipeline (data source, skillset, indexer, and index) that works for agentic retrieval. Instead of creating multiple objects manually, information in the knowledge source is used to generate all objects, including a populated and searchable index.

Make sure you have at least one knowledge source before creating a knowledge agent. The full specification of a knowledge source and a knowledge agent is in the [REST API reference](/rest/api/searchservice).
