Use this when you need to create a collection using the active embedding vector contract and default indexes. It creates or extends Qdrant or MCP-managed state without deleting existing provider data by default. It contacts the configured Qdrant service or uses MCP-owned job/upload state. Returns normalized provider data in data plus safe request and trace metadata in meta. Requires an authenticated MAD MCP Portal request and any provider configuration named by the input schema.
