How does a legal hold affect file retention?

When a legal hold is active, the `calculate_retention_milestones` tool ensures the deletion date is pushed to the infinite future, preventing any files from being flagged for destruction.

Can I override the default retention period for a category?

You can attempt an override, but you should first use `validate_retention_override` to ensure the proposed duration complies with mandatory regulatory requirements for that category.

How can I find all files that need to be archived?

You can use the `filter_files_by_action` tool with the 'archive' action type and a specific reference date to retrieve a list of all files ready for long-term storage.
