New Features Kind: in v2.1.260, 03 Sep 26
What probably matters to you Section of the release
The AskUserQuestion tool now supports question kind values beyond multi-select: text and number, with min/max validation for numeric answers. It also supports a followUp flag; when set, the tool's returned message tells the model to call the question tool again with follow-up questions that build on the given answers, rather than proceeding with the task.
