Asking for clarification

I could ask the user a clarifying question or check if I have permission to fetch current info. It's unclear whether the network is enabled by default, so I might need to propose fetching info via tools like newsapi. Since the user mentioned "Lakers complete foreign signing," they might want an article summary in Chinese. I should definitely ask for more details, like which player or source, before proceeding. I want to avoid misinformation and hallucination!Requesting more information

I understand the general instruction is to ask when needed, but I really need more info to proceed. I should ask a concise clarifying question and offer to fetch the latest updates with user approval. Alternatively, I could create a template news article with placeholders. Since my knowledge cuts off in October 2024 and I don’t have browsing enabled, I’ll need specific details to provide accurate info. I can translate options into Chinese:

• Clarify what they need: 快讯、深度解读、长文稿、微博推送
• Ask for details: 球员、合同年限金额、来源
• Offer to pull the latest if they approve.Simplifying the request

I can mention my knowledge cutoff and the risk of outdated information, but I want to keep things brief. Instead of asking for approvals, I’ll just ask if they want me to look it up. Here’s a draft:

"你是要我写一篇通稿/快讯，还是想了解具体细节？目前我没有确切的信息。请提供以下信息：1) 球员姓名 2) 合同细节 3) 来源。如果你愿意，我可以帮你检索最新权威报道，然后用中文写出：- 5080字快讯 - 300500字解读 - 关键数据对比 - 社媒文案3条"

Hmm, maybe that’s still a bit too verbose. Let’s trim it down!
