ask

Active

declared in 1.28.1

Ask the human a question on WhatsApp and BLOCK until they reply (or timeout). `text` is the question. `buttons` (optional, up to 3) render as tappable reply buttons; omit them to invite a free-text answer the human types on their phone — use this to let the human steer you mid-task. `timeout` is seconds to wait (max 90). Returns the human's reply (free text and/or the chosen option). On timeout, returns a note — the question was delivered and the answer is still retrievable via `check_replies`.
