feat(tool): integrate AskUser runtime tool into toolPlugin - #444
It looks like this branch is under active development. To avoid overwhelming you with review comments due to an influx of new commits, CodeRabbit has automatically paused this review. You can configure this behavior by changing the reviews.auto_review.auto_pause_after_reviewed_commits setting.
This change adds an ask_user protocol with structured questions and answer validation. The core tool plugin registers and pauses Ask User calls, defers sibling calls, and records outcomes. Vue adds runtime handling for cancellation, answer submission, and call resumption.

Ask User Tool Flow
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Ask User protocol and validation packages/kit/src/message/tools/askUser.ts, packages/kit/src/message/plugins/index.ts, packages/kit/src/message/test/askUser.test.ts
Defines Ask User question, state, and result types. Validates tool arguments and answers, normalizes skipped answers, and enforces input and answer limits. Tests cover protocol validation, schemas, and answer normalization.
Adds Ask User prompt and lifecycle hooks to the core plugin. The plugin registers and pauses Ask User calls, defers sibling calls, and records terminal outcomes. Vue forwards the configuration options. Tests and documentation cover integration behavior and configuration.
Adds Vue runtime handling for Ask User state changes, cancellation, retry, and answer submission. The runtime validates answers and dispatches deduplicated resume or rejection commands. Vue context exposes createMessage and mutate, and entry points export the runtime and plugin APIs.

Merge Risk: Low · up to 8c63b
Unusual tool-round-limit requests may send AskUser content to the provider, and the public documentation misstates sibling-call results. These bounded risks warrant correction or owner acceptance before merging.
Security Architecture Review
Security architecture risk:🔵 Low · up to cb59c
The new interaction retains existing paused-call and identity checks. However, cancellation can leave the interaction marked active or submitted after its underlying call is denied. Application integration and recovery behavior remain only partially established.
Retained concerns
Low · reliability · observed: The new Ask User terminal hook updates interaction state only for failed calls. Core cancellation or rejection marks the bound call denied without reconciling the interaction, which can remain active or submitted. A subsequent missing resume is also suppressed for a handled call. This leaves the interaction's externally visible lifecycle inconsistent with its cancelled execution owner. Existing pending-call checks contain execution; this is a cancellation and lifecycle-consistency concern, not a demonstrated authorization bypass.
Security review details
Security Blast Radius
inferred — The inspected resume path is bounded to a call in the current paused turn. The routed test ranges do not establish a network-facing entrypoint. Wider tenant, service, credential or datastore exposure cannot be determined from this local library flow.
Security Findings and Attack Paths
inferred — No attacker-to-privileged-execution bypass was established in the inspected submission path. The cancellation divergence does not itself authorize execution: core resolution rejects calls that are no longer awaiting approval. This is a bounded conclusion, not complete security coverage.
Trust Boundaries and Controls
observed — The state-change helper accepts arbitrary state keys and values. Bubble events originate through an injected callback available to host-selected Vue renderers; the existing wrapper checks event shape but does not reserve execution metadata keys. The inspected evidence does not establish that model-controlled text can emit these events or that renderers are isolated from application authority.
Resilience and Maintainability Implications
observed — Core cancellation denies pending calls, but the new integration synchronizes Ask User state only on failure. Maintaining separate interaction and execution states without a shared terminal transition creates lifecycle drift during cancellation and rejection.
Hardening Proposals
proposed — If applications intend to accept events from less-trusted renderers, restrict state updates to interaction-owned fields and keep call identity and execution metadata outside that event authority. This is conditional hardening, not an observed exploit.

- Around line 96-98: Update the resume handling around
message.dispatchCommand(TOOL_RESUME_COMMAND) to inspect its result and avoid
leaving askUser.status as 'submitted' when the call cannot be resumed.
Distinguish an unresumable call from an in-flight or completed duplicate,
reusing or awaiting an in-flight resume where appropriate, and set
askUser.status to 'error' only for the unresumable outcome.

- Around line 139-151: Update `beforeCallTools` in the ask-user plugin to catch
only `AskUserProtocolError` from `parseAskUserToolCallArguments` and return so
malformed calls can reach runtime tool handling; rethrow other errors and
preserve the multiple-call and pending-interaction guards. Update
`shouldPauseToolCall` to accept the tool-call context and pause only when the
ask-user runtime state is initialized with a matching `toolCallId`, then pass
`contextWithToolMessage` from `toolPlugin`.

Run the AskUser request hook in the closing branch.
The toolLoopMode === 'closing' branch returns before askUserIntegration?.onBeforeRequest(context) runs. The AskUser hook is the only place that removes persisted ask_user content from request messages. If the closing request includes an earlier ask_user content item, that item is sent to the provider unchanged. The provider can reject a content part it does not support, and the turn can then fail.
This occurs when maxToolRounds is set, an earlier round used ask_user, and a later batch exceeds the limit.
Call the hook in the closing branch, after the existing request hook and before disableTools(). This keeps tools disabled. It also appends the AskUser system prompt to the closing request, so check that the prompt does not direct the model to call a disabled tool.

变更背景
部分任务在继续执行前需要向用户收集必要信息。此前只能通过普通文本提问，难以统一处理多步骤问题、选项校验和用户提交后的任务恢复。
本次变更新增
ask_user工具，使模型可以通过结构化表单向用户提问，并在用户完成填写后继续执行原任务。主要变更
ask_user工具，支持单选、多选、文本输入和确认等问题类型。askUser后自动注册ask_user工具。useAskUserRuntime，用于处理表单状态更新、用户提交、答案校验、工具调用恢复和错误状态记录。askUserPrompt配置自定义提示内容。验证结果
已覆盖并验证以下场景：
ask_user同时使用相关测试共 3 个文件、29 个用例，全部通过。
