AI agents call transfer_store-download to retrieve information from Ruflo without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

It is a read operation that queries and downloads existing data without modifying the store itself, creating side effects, executing arbitrary code, deleting data, or moving money.
