Sends a direct answer to the user from the current task context without pausing or completing the task. Display name “Answer User Query”. On by default for new agents. Unlike ask_user, this does not pause. Unlike task_complete, this does not end the task. Call it at most once per user question.

​
Authentication and enablement

No integration. Default-on.

​
Inputs

  • question (required): the user’s question, restated faithfully.
  • response (required): the full answer shown to the user.
  • context_summary (optional): which prior steps/documents the answer used. Not shown to the user.

​
Output

The answer is written to the task feed. Execution continues.

​
Limits and side effects

  • Feed-only. No external calls.
  • A second call for the same unanswered question is wasted — complete the task or ask_user instead.

​
Expected errors

  • Empty question or response.
