Description
I am wondering if there is a way to update the index incrementally? For example in CAGRA, I see a build method which accepts the whole dataset, but is it possible insert the dataset in chunks, or even single vectors at one time without building a totally new index?

Start by reading the CAGRA build method and the surrounding index API mentioned in the question. Determine whether the current interface supports adding chunks or single vectors without rebuilding; done should be a documented, tested decision about incremental updates or their absence.
