Question tool documented but not available in runtime

Summary

The question tool is documented at https://opencode.ai/docs/tools/#question but does not appear in the available tools list during runtime.

Environment

OpenCode version: $(opencode --version 2>/dev/null || echo "unknown")
OS: macOS
Plugin: oh-my-opencode

Steps to Reproduce

Configure question tool permission in opencode.json:

{
  "permission": {
    "question": "allow"
  }
}

Start OpenCode and check available tools
The question tool is not present

Expected Behavior

According to the documentation, the question tool should be available and allow the LLM to:

Ask the user questions during a task
Gather user preferences or requirements
Clarify ambiguous instructions
Get decisions on implementation choices

Actual Behavior

The tool is not available in the runtime tool list. Other built-in tools like bash, edit, read, grep, glob, todowrite, webfetch all work correctly.

Questions

Is the question tool still in development?
Is there an experimental flag required to enable it?
What OpenCode version is required for this feature?

Additional Context

I've verified that:

The oh-my-opencode plugin does NOT filter or disable this tool
My configuration explicitly allows the tool
Other built-in tools work as expected

Thank you!

This issue might be a duplicate of or related to existing issues. Please check:

Question Tool Keyboard Conflict and Agent Switch Issue #7496: Question Tool Keyboard Conflict and Agent Switch Issue (indicates the question tool does exist and is being used, suggesting availability issues may be environmental)
Question tool content missing in Web UI (opencode serve) #7599: Question tool content missing in Web UI (opencode serve) - shows question tool exists but has display issues in web UI
Question tool throws if header length is >= 12 chars #7616: Question tool throws if header length is >= 12 chars - confirms question tool is available at runtime

New "Question" tool captures vim motion H and L navigation while command palette is open #8118: New "Question" tool captures vim motion H and L navigation while command palette is open - recent issue confirming question tool is active at runtime

Note: Multiple recent issues (#7616, #7739, #7599, #8118) all reference the question tool being available and functional at runtime, which contradicts your report. This suggests either:

The issue may be specific to your OpenCode version/configuration
The question tool might be available in newer versions (please verify your version)
Permission settings in opencode.json may be preventing access

Next steps:

Try running opencode --version to confirm your version
Check if question: "allow" is properly set in your opencode.json
Try a fresh configuration without the permission override to test default behavior
