ask_user

Read-only

Request structured user input as part of a human-in-the-loop flow.

When to use: Use this only when missing user input blocks safe progress. Ask focused questions with clear options when possible.

Example

The call

tool call
{
  "tool": "ask_user",
  "arguments": {
    "question": "Should the enterprise plan include SSO?",
    "options": [
      "Yes",
      "No"
    ]
  }
}

Needs a person to answer; the run pauses until they do

So it isn't run here, and no output is shown: nothing on this page is made up.
