For the **External Knowledge Base** in the Knowledge Management (KM) system, users must provide the following:

```
Payload:
{ "message": "<string>", "message_en": "<string>" }

Response:

  "data": [
    {
      "score": <number>,
      "document": {
        "content": "<string>",
        "path": "<string>" // optional
