  description: |
    Marqo is an open-source vector search engine that bundles index storage
    (Vespa) and embedding inference (Sentence Transformers, OpenCLIP, ONNX)
    behind a single FastAPI HTTP surface. The engine is reachable at
    `http://{host}:8882` by default and publishes its live OpenAPI schema at
    `/openapi.json` with interactive Swagger UI at `/docs`. The same surface
    is exposed by the hosted Marqo Cloud product at `https://api.marqo.ai`
    with bearer-token authentication.

    This profile is a hand-curated, best-effort companion spec covering the
    most-used operations across indexes, documents, search, embeddings,
    models, and telemetry. For the canonical, version-pinned specification
    of a deployment, fetch `/openapi.json` directly from the running engine.
