Get answer

What it does

get_answer reads the result of a question you started with ask_lexomat. By default ask_lexomat does not wait — it files the question and hands back a handle — so this is the tool that turns that handle into an answer.

Call it with the session_id and message_id ask_lexomat returned. While status is working, wait poll_after_s seconds and call again. When status turns completed, the reply carries the grounded Slovak answer and its citations, framed exactly as a waited ask_lexomat call would have returned them. failed and cancelled are final — there is nothing further to poll for.

Like every tool in this connector, it is read-only, covers Slovak law only, and its output is informational, not legal advice.

Inputs

Name	Type	Required	Description
`session_id`	string	Yes	The session `ask_lexomat` returned.
`message_id`	integer	Yes	The `message_id` `ask_lexomat` returned (the same value the web API calls `chat_id`).

The four states

`status`	Meaning	Poll again?
`working`	The research pipeline is still running. `progress` (0–100) and `progress_message` say roughly where it is.	Yes, after `poll_after_s` seconds.
`completed`	Finished. `answer` and `citations` are populated.	No.
`failed`	The turn did not produce an answer. `error` carries a user-safe reason.	No.
`cancelled`	The turn was stopped — see Cancel answer.	No.

poll_after_s is null on every terminal state, so a client that polls "while poll_after_s is set" stops on its own.

Returns

While working:

{
  "session_id": "…",
  "message_id": 4242,
  "status": "working",
  "progress": 45,
  "progress_message": "…",
  "poll_after_s": 10,
  "jurisdiction": "SK",
  "disclaimer": "...",
  "citations": []
}

Once completed:

{
  "session_id": "…",
  "message_id": 4242,
  "status": "completed",
  "jurisdiction": "SK",
  "disclaimer": "...",
  "answer": "...",
  "citations": [
    {
      "url": "...",
      "title": "...",
      "source_type": "..."
    }
  ]
}

answer and citations are populated only on completed; error only on failed.

Example

ask_lexomat returns {"session_id": "…", "message_id": 4242, "poll_after_s": 10}. The calling AI waits ten seconds and calls get_answer("…", 4242), gets working at 30 %, waits again, and on the third call reads completed — at which point it presents the answer and the Zdroje: block as given.

Notes

Consumes no quota. The research was gated and debited when ask_lexomat started it; reading its outcome is not a second question, so polling every ten seconds costs you nothing — see Usage limits.
You can only read your own turns. An unknown handle and someone else's handle are refused with the same generic message, so ids cannot be probed.
A completed answer read here is indistinguishable from one returned by ask_lexomat with wait: true — same jurisdiction prefix, same citation block.
If the research finished without grounded support, answer carries the Slovak "no supported answer found" message rather than a guess.
