# Get Ask settings

> What Ask g1t answers with in a workspace: provider_id, provider_name and provider (one of its AI providers), the model chosen, auto (each question goes to the provider's model that suits it), and problem, why Ask cannot answer, when it cannot.

<div class="g1t-endpoint"><span class="g1t-method" data-method="get">GET</span><code>/workspaces/{workspace}/ai/ask</code></div>

Ask runs on the workspace's own key: g1t hosts no model and bills nothing for it. Members only.

`auto` is true when Ask picks one of the provider's models for each question. `problem` says why Ask cannot answer, such as no provider chosen, and is null when it can. See [Ask g1t](/guides/ask/).

- **Authentication:** Required. Send an [access token](/reference/api/#authentication) as `Authorization: Bearer`.
- **MCP tool:** [`ai`](/reference/mcp/#ai) with `action` `get_ask`, and the same inputs
- **Scope:** An access token needs [`workspace:read`](/guides/authentication/#scopes).

## Path parameters

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `workspace` | string | Yes | The workspace's slug, e.g. "flagon-io". |

## Example request

```sh
curl https://api.g1t.sh/workspaces/flagon-io/ai/ask \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $G1T_TOKEN"
```

## Example response

A successful request answers `200` with:

```json
{
  "provider_id": "ai_01kpx4n8r3g9s0v5w7x1z2a3be",
  "provider_name": "Anthropic",
  "provider": "anthropic",
  "model": null,
  "auto": true,
  "problem": null
}
```

## Errors

A failed request answers with one of these statuses and a body like `{"error": {"code": "not_found", "message": "Repository not found."}}`. See [errors](/reference/api/#errors).

| Status | Code | When |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 401 | `unauthenticated` | A token is required, or the one sent is not valid. |
| 403 | `forbidden` | The token is valid but not allowed to do this, such as a member-only change, or a token without the scope it needs. |
| 404 | `not_found` | It does not exist, or you cannot see it. |
| 422 | `invalid` | The input is not valid. `message` says which field and why. |
