Struct Question 

pub struct Question {
    pub action: Action,
    pub text: String,
    pub item: Option<String>,
    pub revision: Option<String>,
    pub change: Option<String>,
    pub allow_drafts: bool,
    pub page: PageContext,
    pub history: Vec<(String, String)>,
    pub thread: bool,
    pub limits: String,
    pub files: Vec<String>,
    pub origin: Origin,
}

One request to the assistant.

Fields

action: Action

text: String

Free text: the question of Ask, an optional addition otherwise.

item: Option<String>

Item number of the page the user is on.

revision: Option<String>

Revision code (with item).

change: Option<String>

Change number.

allow_drafts: bool

Offer the draft tools (only honoured for users who may edit).

page: PageContext

The page the user is on, resolved with their rights (see services::assistant::resolve_context); empty = no context.

history: Vec<(String, String)>

Earlier messages of the conversation (role, text), oldest first. Quoted in the first message as context, never replayed as model turns.

thread: bool

The question belongs to the user’s conversation (thread).

limits: String

ResultValues: limits the user states (“upper limit 250 MPa for stress”).

files: Vec<String>

ResultValues: names of the report files to read (a hint; empty = all).

origin: Origin

Where the request that asked comes from (client address, session, token): every tool step applies the conditions on membership of need-to-know groups with it, and the read log records the address. Empty in tests and background runs.

Validates the raw request fields.

pub fn instruction(&self) -> String

The first user message: the earlier conversation (if any, quoted as context), then the fixed instruction of the quick action (the MCP prompts) or the free question, plus the page context.
