get_answer
Answer developer questions with cited, confidence-rated insights. Provides live symbol bodies for methods and classes directly in the answer.
Instructions
Synthesised answer with citations and a calibrated trust signal.
First call for "how does X work" / "where is Y" / "why is Z" questions.
confidence=high is content-grounded (value + citation-source + frame
gates): cite it directly, no verification Read needed. A "why" answer
whose named mechanism is absent from the retrieved source is downgraded
to medium (the rationale may be conflated). Low confidence returns
best_guesses with one-line justifications instead of an empty answer.
retrieval_quality separately rates the retrieval that fed synthesis.
When the answer names a function/method/class, ``symbol_bodies`` carries
its full live body — read that instead of a follow-up get_symbol.
Args:
question: developer question.
scope: optional path-prefix filter (e.g. "src/pkg/").
repo: usually omitted.
