> Is my mental picture correct so far? Yes > How would these two scenarios be different They're different in exactly the way you described above. The agent searching the knowledge base for "FTO, PTO, time off, vacations" would be the same as you pasting all the articles related to those topics into the prompt directly - in both cases, it goes into the context. In scenario a, you'll likely get the correct response. In scenario b, likely get an incorrect response. Why? Because of what you explained above. Fine tuning adjusts the weights. When you adjusts weights by feeding data, you're only making small adjustments to shift slightly along a curve - thus the exposure to this data (for the purposes of fine tuning) will have very little effect on the next context the model is exposed to.
