Revision history for MCP::Server::Tool::Ask
0.1.0 2026-08-09T19:58:41+01:00
- Initial release
- MCP::Server::Tool::Ask: a toolkit that lets a model ask the human on the
other end of the MCP client a question, built on MCP::Server's
server-side elicitation (the 2026-07-28 multi round-trip request
pattern). Plugs into any MCP::Server via $server.plug($kit) or
MCP::Server.new(:tools['Ask']).
- One tool (default prefix "user"): ask. It takes a message and an optional
list of questions -- each with a name, a prompt, an optional type
(string, number or boolean), optional options that become an enum, and an
optional required flag -- and renders them as one elicitation form.
With no questions it asks for a single free-form "answer".
- An accepted form comes back as JSON with sorted keys. A decline or a
cancel comes back as plain text and never as an error: a user refusing to
answer is the system working, and a model that sees isError will retry.
