# Standard RAG Transform Query

**Purpose**: Optimizes user query for better retrieval by clarifying intent and expanding ambiguous terms.

**Pipeline Stage**: Retrieval

**When Called**:

* ✓ Search type is NOT Smart Search (`search_type != SEARCH`)
* ✓ Standalone query < 32,000 characters (context limit check)
* Transforms standalone query before vector search
* **Note**: Skipped when Smart Search is enabled

**Input/Output Example**:

````
User Input:  
"Who is responsible for uploading the report after it's generated by TOOL_X?"

Output:

```json
{{
  "rewritten_query": [
    "report generation process using TOOL_X",
    "person or team responsible for uploading the report after generation"
  ]
}}
```
````
