Consistent retrieval access mechanisms

Expose retrieval through a stable interface.

Possible mechanisms:

• function calling
• standardized APIs
• MCP clients
• internal retrieval services

The FM does not need to know the database implementation.

Abstraction enables:

• easier database replacement
• consistent access
• security enforcement
• centralized logging
• reusable retrieval logic

The interface should hide infrastructure details while exposing the capabilities the application actually needs.
