 OCI CIS AI Agent is a self-hosted web application that automates **CIS Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Foundations Benchmark 3.0** compliance checks, powered by **OCI Generative AI** for intelligent analysis and an **MCP (Model Context Protocol)** server architecture for extensible task execution.
 
-The platform combines security compliance scanning, AI-powered chat, infrastructure exploration, and vector-based knowledge storage into a single, containerized solution with Oracle Cloud's official light theme.

 - **OCI Generative AI** integration via official SDK (`oci.generative_ai_inference`)
+- **RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation)**: automatically queries ADB vector store for relevant context before generating responses
 - 12 models across 4 providers: **Cohere** (Command A/R/R+), **Meta** (Llama 4/3.3/3.2/3.1), **Google** (Gemini 2.5), **xAI** (Grok 3/4)
 - 16 OCI regions supported with auto-generated endpoints
 - Full parameter control: temperature, max_tokens, top_p, top_k, frequency/presence penalty

+### 🧬 Embeddings Management
+- Dedicated tab for managing vector embeddings
+- **Embed CIS Reports**: automatically chunk reports by section (IAM, Networking, Compute, etc.) and generate embeddings
+- **Upload text files**: upload `.txt` files, automatically chunked by paragraphs
+- **OCI GenAI Embeddings**: uses Cohere Embed models (v3.0, multilingual, light) via OCI GenAI `embed_text` API
+- Browse, inspect and delete individual embeddings from the ADB vector store
+- 4 embedding models supported: Cohere Embed English/Multilingual v3.0 (1024d), Light variants (384d)
