# axon-ask
RAG query: retrieves relevant chunks from Qdrant then synthesizes an answer with citations.
## MCP (preferred)
```json
{ "action": "ask", "query": "How does axon handle Chrome auto-switching?" }
```
With temporal filter:
```json
{ "action": "ask", "query": "latest rust async patterns", "since": "7d" }
```
With diagnostics (shows retrieval scores):
```json
{ "action": "ask", "query": "embedding pipeline", "diagnostics": true }
```
## CLI fallback
```bash
axon ask "how does axon handle Chrome auto-switching?" --since 7d --diagnostics
```
## Key options
| Option | Default | Notes |
|--------|---------|-------|
| `since` | — | `7d`, `30d`, `YYYY-MM-DD` — filters by **indexing date** |
| `before` | — | Upper date bound |
| `diagnostics` | `false` | Show retrieval scores and sources |
| `hybrid_search` | `true` | `false` for dense-only comparison |
| `graph` | `false` | Deprecated compatibility option; graph retrieval is not available in the current runtime |
| `collection` | `cortex` | Override collection per-request |
## When results are poor
1. Add `diagnostics: true` — check retrieval scores
2. Try `hybrid_search: false` to compare approaches
3. Check `{ "action": "sources" }` to verify content is indexed
