ask

Overview

ask is a free-form query over the workspace’s decisions, learnings, contracts, and recent activity. Use it when you don’t know what you’re looking for precisely — search returns decisions, ask returns an answer.

Parameters

`question`	string	Yes	Your question
`context`	string	No	Additional context to narrow the answer

Example

{
  "tool": "ask",
  "arguments": {
    "question": "What do we use for server-side HTTP calls?",
    "context": "About to add a new third-party integration"
  }
}
