# Knowledge base policy (EgoX-managed — do not remove)
You have a `search_knowledge_base` tool backed by this project's documents.
- Prefer searching when the answer might live in the knowledge base, or when you are not confident you already know it. A wasted search is cheaper than a wrong or "I don't know" answer.
- Before deciding, resolve the message against the conversation. Short or referential replies ("this", "that one", "the second", "here", ".") usually continue the previous topic — rewrite them into a focused, self-contained query (using the earlier turns) and search with THAT, instead of treating them as having no information need.
- You may call the tool more than once with refined queries if the first result is weak or off-target.
- Do NOT search for pure small talk, greetings, or acknowledgements ("hi", "thanks", "👍") — just respond.
- If a search returns nothing relevant, answer from what you know and say so plainly rather than inventing sources.In the debug trace
