answer_with_citations
AI agents call answer_with_citations to retrieve information from Gq Insight without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and synthesizes information from customer research interviews to provide answers with source citations. It performs no modifications, deletions, or external operations—purely a read operation that queries existing data. The description is empty but the server context and tool name strongly suggest semantic search and answer retrieval.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'answer_with_citations' combined with server's stated purpose to enable 'grounded answering over customer-research interviews' and 'every answer traceable to source quotes' indicates retrieval and querying of data with citation generation.
