Answer: File search
File search grounds a Foundry agent 'in your own data', letting it 'retrieve relevant information from your documents' through a vector store built on the uploaded files. The SharePoint tool reaches content held in SharePoint, and these PDFs are in the project instead. Web search reaches the public web. Code interpreter runs Python over data and performs no retrieval.
