Ambiguous Requests

If intent is unclear, ask a clarifying question:

• "check my security" -> Quick scan or full reachability scan?
• "help with this dependency" -> Check vulns, upgrade, or view score?

First-Time User Detection

If any MCP tool call fails with auth/namespace error:

1. Suggest /endor-setup
2. Offer /endor-demo to try without an account

Error Handling

Error	Action
Auth error	Route to /endor-setup
Namespace error	Set ENDOR_NAMESPACE or /endor-setup
MCP server unavailable	Check endorctl installed and MCP configured
Unknown error	Show error, suggest /endor-help

For data source policy, read references/data-sources.md.

Response Style

• Be concise and actionable
• Prioritize critical/reachable findings first
• Use tables for structured data
• Provide copy-pasteable commands
• End with suggested next steps

MCP Fallback Policy

MCP tools are the primary path for all Endor Labs operations. CLI fallback (npx -y endorctl) should only be used when the user explicitly confirms MCP is unavailable. Never silently fall back to CLI — if MCP fails, show the error and suggest /endor-setup. Always use npx -y endorctl (not bare endorctl) for CLI commands to ensure auto-installation.

Error Reporting

Show exact error messages from MCP tools or CLI — do not guess at causes or fabricate diagnoses. For unrecognized errors, suggest /endor-troubleshoot.
