Show option list MCP tool
Render a selectable option list that can send a user decision back to chat.
- MCP tool name:
Show_Option_List - Returns: Show option list MCP response
- Annotations: Read only, not destructive, idempotent, closed world
This tool is retired from active GovTribe AI and external MCP discovery and execution, including standard, compact and dedicated interactive servers. Do not invoke it from a cached tool list. The page and response contract remain for historical transcripts and submitted receipts.
For new bounded choices or question flows in attended GovTribe AI, use native Request_User_Input when available. It accepts one to three questions with stable question/option IDs, single or multiple choices, recommendations without preselection and free text. Actual submitted answers arrive on the original call. Pending input, drafts, dismissal and timeout are never answers or approval.
External agents use their host's own clarification UI or text; there is no external MCP replacement. Unsupported contexts ask concise text questions. Unattended workflows report missing required input without inventing answers. See Interactive MCP apps for current routing.
Examples
The following payload documents a historical call only. Retain its IDs and actual submitted state for transcript/receipt readback; do not execute it to collect new input.

Show geo map
Minimal: {"series":[{"id":"offices","markers":[{"id":"office-1","lat":38.9,"lng":-77,"label":"Office"}]}]}. Display a simple map with marker popups and routes; it does not collect selections. Basemap access is configured by GovTribe, never supplied in tool arguments. Presentation ID and series labels default; descriptions, colors, styling, clustering and viewport options are optional. Preserve marker, series, route and record IDs. Use it for geographic review, not boundary-layer or heatmap analysis.
Show preferences panel
Minimal: {"sections":[{"items":[{"id":"concise","label":"Concise answers","type":"switch"}]}]}. Render draft preferences. Only Save submits choices to the assistant; this is not a workspace-settings mutation API. Presentation ID defaults; titles, descriptions, section labels and Save label are optional. Preserve setting IDs and choice values; changing controls does not submit or apply settings. Confirm actual application separately after an authorized settings operation.
