AskUserQuestion silently discards model-supplied content in its result fields (answers, annotations)
The AskUserQuestion input schema declares fields the harness itself fills after the user answers: answers ("User answers collected by the permission component") and annotations ("Optional per-question annotations from the user").
Because they sit in the input schema, a model can fill them when calling the tool, and the call validates and runs. The content then disappears: nothing renders in the dialog, and no error or warning comes back to the model.
Steps to reproduce:
- Have the model call AskUserQuestion with
annotationspopulated with marker text. - The dialog shows the question and options normally, and the marker text appears nowhere.
- The tool result carries the user's answer as usual, with no indication anything was dropped.
Why it matters: the model reads the schema, sees a declared field, and treats it as usable input. In our session it put the before/after edit preview the user was supposed to decide on into annotations instead of the options' preview fields. The user got a question with no preview and had to reject it blind. Neither side got any signal that content was lost.
Expected: model-supplied values in harness-filled result fields fail validation, the same way additionalProperties: false already rejects undeclared fields. A warning in the tool result would also do.
