List ask

Answers a question about the caller org's code with a CITED answer: retrieval packs grounding context, then the synthesizer writes the answer over exactly those spans, which come back alongside it.

Address	`https://api.hanzo.ai/v1/code/ask`
Method	`GET`
Operation	`get_code_ask`
Auth	`Authorization: Bearer $HANZO_API_KEY`

Answers a question about the caller org's code with a CITED answer: retrieval packs grounding context, then the synthesizer writes the answer over exactly those spans, which come back alongside it. It never answers without grounding — with no matched code the answer is empty and says so, and with no synthesizer available the citations still come back with "degraded": true so the caller can reason over the spans itself.

Request

2 fields.

Field	In	Type	Required	Description
`q`	query	string	—	Q is the question to answer.
`repo`	query	string	—	Repo narrows retrieval to one repository.

Response

Status	Body	Meaning
`200`	code.AskAnswer	ok
`default`	problem-details	refused

200 body — 9 fields.

Field	In	Type	Always	Description
`answer`	body	string	—	Answer is the synthesized prose.
`citations`	body	code.Citation[]	—	Citations are the exact regions the answer was grounded on, and they are the point: an answer is checkable only because every claim in it can be read back at a file and line.
`citations[].endLine`	body	integer (int64)	—	EndLine is its last line, inclusive.
`citations[].file`	body	string	—	File is the path inside the repo, relative to its root.
`citations[].line`	body	integer (int64)	—	Line is the first line of the cited region, 1-based.
`citations[].repo`	body	string	—	Repo is the repository the cited code lives in ("owner/name"), absent when the ask was already scoped to one.
`citations[].symbol`	body	string	—	Symbol is the declaration the region belongs to, when it belongs to one.
`degraded`	body	boolean	—	Degraded is true when retrieval worked but no synthesizer was reachable.
`question`	body	string	—	Question is the ask, echoed back.

Failure carries the platform error shape — see Errors.
