What start_retro does on Slopweaver

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

Why start_retro needs a policy

The tool primarily retrieves and aggregates activity data (via catch_me_up and search_work_context) and returns analysis inline. It may optionally persist output if write tools are present, but its core function is read/query. The conditional persistence lowers confidence slightly, but the default behavior is read-only retrieval and summarization.
