PR Summary

Low Risk
New marketing/library MDX content only; no application logic, auth, or data-handling changes.

Overview
Adds a new library article explaining retrieval-augmented generation (RAG): how it works, why it exists, how it compares with fine-tuning and long-context prompting, and how agentic RAG fits into multi-step agent workflows.

The piece covers retrieval/generation mechanics, production tradeoffs (latency, index freshness, access control), and positions Sim Knowledge Bases as a native way for agents to retrieve grounded context during reasoning.
