ask_human
The one tool that distinguishes mythos from a raw Cursor session: the agent can pause when it does not have enough to decide.
When it fires
The agent only calls ask_human when the request has a real fork that changes the output — for example "food business in Tokyo" (restaurant or food-delivery app?). It does not ask about colours, section counts, layouts, or CTA text. Those are taste calls and the agent makes them.
The flow
- The agent calls ask_human with a question and optional choices.
- mythos streams a question event into the chat UI and pauses the session.
- You answer in the chat.
- The answer is handed back to the agent as a tool result; the session resumes.
Limits
Hard cap: 2 ask_human calls per session. Timeout: 120 seconds per question. If you do not answer in time, the agent picks a default and keeps building, noting the choice in the chat log.
