## Objective There are [some formatting issues](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/62955) with the `ask_user` tool, but more importantly they seem to be confusing when sub-agents are used, which are not always visible immediately. (Some team members flat out also don't like being given options, which is the purpose of the tool). ## Solution disable the `ask_user` tool by default, allowing users who want it to enable it in settings by setting `"ask_user": true,` as such: ```json "agent": { "profiles": { "write": { "name": "Write", "enable_all_context_servers": true, "tools": { "copy_path": true, "create_directory": true, "create_thread": true, "delete_path": true, "diagnostics": true, "apply_code_action": true, "ask_user": true, "edit_file": true, "write_file": true, "fetch": true, "find_path": true, "find_references": true, "get_code_actions": true, "go_to_definition": true, "list_agents_and_models": true, "list_directory": true, "move_path": true, "rename_symbol": true, "read_file": true, "grep": true, "skill": true, "spawn_agent": true, "terminal": true, "search_web": true, }, }, }, }, ``` ## Testing Ask an agent to ask you a question. By default, options should not be shown, with the above configuration options should be shown. ## Self-Review Checklist: - [x] I've reviewed my own diff for quality, security, and reliability - [x] Unsafe blocks (if any) have justifying comments - [x] The content adheres to Zed's UI standards ([UX/UI](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#uiux-checklist) and [icon](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/blob/main/crates/icons/README.md) guidelines) - [ ] Tests cover the new/changed behavior - [x] Performance impact has been considered and is acceptable ## Showcase Without tool: <img width="1138" height="556" alt="CleanShot 2026-08-21 at 10 21 35@2x" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/6fd2cdbb-af84-49e9-acc5-db5a4359acbe" /> With tool: <img width="1160" height="974" alt="CleanShot 2026-08-21 at 10 22 57@2x" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/7a4488e4-96f0-40d4-a4c4-70f489b70f12" /> --- Release Notes: - Disable ask_user tool by default |
