Genie Agent Volume Attachment (Beta) Docs mentions multiple formats but images aren't supported

Hi Databricks Team,

I'm testing the Genie Agent volume attachment feature (Beta) and have a question regarding supported file formats.

According to the documentation, Genie Agents can be attached to a Volume containing various file formats. The supported formats appear to include documents and other file types that can be used as knowledge sources.

However, when I try to attach a Volume that contains image files (for example, .png or .jpg), the Databricks workspace UI indicates that images are not supported.

Could someone help clarify the following?

Are image formats (.png, .jpg, .jpeg, etc.) officially supported for Genie Agent Volume attachments in the current Beta release?
If image support is documented, is there an additional configuration or prerequisite required to enable it?
Is the workspace UI limitation expected behavior, or could this be a bug/inconsistency between the documentation and the current implementation?
If images are not yet supported, is there an updated list of the currently supported file formats for Genie Agent knowledge sources?

For reference, I am referring to the documentation that describes supported file formats for Volume attachments, but the behavior I'm seeing in the workspace seems to differ.

Any clarification would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Sorry about that; it looks like a UI bug.
