Abstract: We consider the problem of defining spacelike-supported boundary-to-bulk propagators in AdS

_{d + 1}

down to the unitary bound

D e l t a = (d - 2) / 2

. That is to say, we construct the `smearing functions'

K

of HKLL but with different boundary conditions where both dimensions

D e l t a_{+}

and

D e l t a_{-}

are taken into account. More precisely, we impose Robin boundary conditions, which interpolate between Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions and we give explicit expressions for the distributional kernel

K

with spacelike support. This flow between boundary conditions is known to be captured in the boundary by adding a double-trace deformation to the CFT. Indeed, we explicitly show that using

K

there is a consistent and explicit map from a Wightman function of the boundary QFT to a Wightman function of the bulk theory. In order to accomplish this we have to study first the microlocal properties of the boundary two-point function of the perturbed CFT and prove its wavefront set satisfies the microlocal spectrum condition. This permits to assert that

K

and the boundary two-point function can be multiplied as distributions.
