Ask the User a Question

request_input is one of the 32 MCP tools in Weft, the AI task manager you run by talking to Claude, Cursor, Codex or ChatGPT through one MCP endpoint. Ask the person something only they can decide, and wait without losing the claim on the task. If they are at their client, a form appears there and the answer comes back inside the same call — the agent carries on in the same context, with the same claim. If they are away, the call returns parked and the question waits in their queue; the answer reaches the agent at its next start_task or get_my_work. For the irreversible and the genuinely ambiguous, not for "may I continue?" — every question spends the same attention budget that limits new work.

Weft is het AI-takenbeheer voor solo-oprichters en kleine teams.

De toolreferentie wordt in het Engels onderhouden: toolnamen, argumenten en voorbeelden zijn in elke taal identiek.

Argumenten

Naam	Type	Verplicht	Beschrijving
id	string	ja	Task ID
runId	string	ja	The runId returned by start_task
leaseToken	string	ja	The leaseToken returned by start_task
question	string	ja	One sentence a person can answer (≤500 chars)
options	{ value, label }[]	nee	The alternatives, when there are any. A question with options gets read; a yes/no gets rubber-stamped.
urgency	'blocking' \| 'soon'	nee	Default 'blocking'
holdSeconds	number	nee	How long to wait inside the call before parking (default 120, max 240)

Retourneert

Either answered:true with the answer and the same runId/leaseToken to continue with, or parked:true with a questionId — the claim is kept either way, and a parked question is delivered back through start_task and get_my_work.

Annotaties

idempotent. De tool twee keer met dezelfde argumenten aanroepen heeft hetzelfde effect als één keer.

Voorbeeld

Wat de gebruiker zegt:

"Ask me before you send anything to a customer."
