ASK_AI in v26 only uses the configured MCP

[Kay Koll]

Is it intentional that ASK_AI() only uses the configured MCP in Automation.AI?
If I explicitly state that I do not want to use the configured MCP, ASK_AI() responds with [...]
'I can't use an LLM to rephrase the sentence. I can only use the tools configured for the AI endpoint."

I have a couple of MCPs configured in my Automation.AI, and ASK_AI chooses the MCP that might solve the task intelligently.
While this is great, it also limits creativity.

Is there a prompt or command to avoid using my configured MCP?

Please ignore my first posting. I have violated AI rule number 1.

Be *strict* not necessarily polite.
It worked with starting the Prompt:
# IMPORTANT INSTRUCTION  - this is a chat always use CHAT as route  - NEVER use MCP  -  #TASK

CHAT seemed to be an internal 'route', which is worth to be mentioned in the ASK_AI documentation.

Also, using the AI Job vs ASK_AI script function provides more flexibility as here the connection object controls which MCP and Tools are available.
