Vector Store Adapters

Vector Store Adapters

Vector store adapters connect AIF to retrieval systems while keeping tenant boundaries and source evidence clear.

Adapter Responsibilities

• query a configured vector store
• apply tenant or workspace filters
• return source references and metadata
• avoid exposing records outside the caller's permission boundary
• support audit references for retrieved context

Retrieval Metadata

Each retrieved chunk should include:

• source ID
• source title
• tenant or workspace ID
• document version or timestamp
• confidence or score
• permission context

The prompt renderer can then use retrieved context while audit logs retain the source evidence.
