Context Retrieve

Native tool

Let the agent pull back the full original of anything that was compressed earlier in the chat to save context — when a tool result shows a `<<ccr:KEY N>>` marker, the agent fetches the dropped rows back by key. Pure local lookup — works with every model, no setup.

How it reaches an agent

  1. 1It ships built inContext Retrieve is part of the runtime — nothing to install, nothing to configure into a prompt.
  2. 2Grant it to an agentA tool is a capability, not an instruction: granting it costs zero context, so the agent's window stays for your work.
  3. 3One call unlockedThe agent calls it like a function and the result lands back in the conversation.

Zero context cost

A skill carries a teaching prompt, and that prompt takes up room in the model's context window. A tool carries none — it is a capability, not an instruction. Granting Context Retrieve to an agent costs nothing against the window it thinks in.
