The document provides usage instructions for the neotool command-line interface using the py2neo library version 1.6. It details various commands for executing and manipulating data in Neo4j, such as executing Cypher queries, inserting, and merging data. Additionally, it includes examples of converting XML data to Geoff format and demonstrates how to query the database.
