civics.asksModule 42Let an agent ask a person instead of guessing, with the on-call list and due time fixed when it asks, and the answer kept on the record.
civics.asks is the liaison desk. An agent posts a question with an urgency of routine or urgent. The desk copies that urgency's on-call list and answer time onto the ask, notifies people when a channel is bound, and stores the answer beside the question.
Put admission in front of your MCP servers, repositories, SaaS tools and cloud accounts. Every agent gets a lease or a reason – and you keep the lever to stop any of them.

The on-call list and answer budget for that urgency come from the workspace's settings, then platform config. They are copied onto the ask as to and dueAtMs, and a later rota change does not rewrite them.
A notification is queued for the workspace. liaison.skipped is true when no channel is bound, and the ask is stored either way.
answer takes askId and text. Only a person named in to, or one who administers the workspace, may answer, and an ask takes one answer.

}A cleanup agent asks whether to delete the staging snapshots, marks it urgent with the snapshot's URN in about, and waits for an answer instead of choosing.
On-call is set per urgency in settings. Each ask keeps the people who were on call when it was made.
overdue marks asks past dueAtMs with no answer, and answered-late marks those answered after it.
An answered ask keeps its text, who answered and when, so a reviewer can see what the agent was told.
civics.forum.coordination.approve.arbitration.arbiter and courts.file.A module is a strong claim about a narrow thing. Rely on it for exactly what it is.
liaison.skipped says when no notification went out.Neither the answer time nor the on-call list has a default. Until an administrator or platform config sets them, an ask has no dueAtMs and an administrator answers it.
settings shows the effective answer times and on-call list per urgency, and an administrator saves them. A workspace's values lay over the platform's.
Asks are stored per workspace, and the Liaison console in the dashboard shows them as they stand.
urgency is routine or urgent. Anything else is refused.Authenticate with a workspace API key as a Bearer token. The base URL is https://api.intramedial.com.
