Config Sample: User Input Request

Demonstrates the user input request flow — the runtime's ask_user tool triggers a callback to the SDK, allowing the host application to programmatically respond to agent questions without human interaction.

This pattern is useful for:

• Automated pipelines where answers are predetermined or fetched from config
• Custom UIs that intercept user input requests and present their own dialogs
• Testing agent flows that require user interaction

How It Works

1. Enable onUserInputRequest callback on the session
2. The callback auto-responds with "Paris" whenever the agent asks a question via ask_user
3. Send a prompt that instructs the agent to use ask_user to ask which city the user is interested in
4. The agent receives "Paris" as the answer and tells us about it
5. Print the response and confirm the user input flow worked via a log

Configuration

Option	Value	Effect
onUserInputRequest	Returns { answer: "Paris", wasFreeform: true }	Auto-responds to ask_user tool calls
onPermissionRequest	Auto-approve	No permission dialogs
hooks.onPreToolUse	Auto-allow	No tool confirmation prompts

Run

./verify.sh

Requires the copilot binary (auto-detected or set COPILOT_CLI_PATH) and GITHUB_TOKEN.
