Questions to you can now be free-text or numeric, and can chain into follow-up questions.

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.
