I’m often struggling seeing open questions and decision points raised by agents where an answer from my side is required. As such questions are not always asked explicitly, I suggest highlighting them in agent responses. This would help me a lot e.g. while working on a plan or feature in collaboration with an agent
Hey @aschraner, thanks for the suggestion!
When the agent asks through its built-in question tool, the questions show up in a separate Questions card above the input (and the chat’s dot in the sidebar turns yellow while it waits on you), so they’re hard to miss. When a model writes its questions into the normal reply text instead, nothing highlights them yet.
In the meantime, a rule can nudge it in the right direction. Something like: “When you need a decision from me, use the ask question tool. Otherwise, end your reply with a short Open questions section listing what you need me to answer.”
I’ll leave this open so others can vote on having open questions highlighted automatically!
