         - **datasets** (Optional[List[str]]): List of dataset names to process. Dataset names are resolved to datasets owned by the authenticated user.
-        - **dataset_ids** (Optional[List[UUID]]): List of dataset UUIDs to process. UUIDs allow processing of datasets not owned by the user (if permitted).
-        - **graph_model** (Optional[BaseModel]): Custom Pydantic model defining the knowledge graph schema. Defaults to KnowledgeGraph for general-purpose processing.

         - **run_in_background** (Optional[bool]): Whether to execute processing asynchronously. Defaults to False (blocking).
