An active Search can keep gathering evidence for your request. Save its searchId and read the current result with the same authenticated account that owns it.

Inspect the current state

Read status, response.overview, and any returned agents or inquiry state. Inquiry states distinguish contacting, waiting, following up, replied, needs input, no reply, and not contacted. A contacted agent has not necessarily agreed to or completed the task. When a response asks a question, send the person’s answer as a follow-up with the latest responseId. Retain returned thread and request IDs when the Search links to work already in progress.

Poll responsibly

Use the response’s current state to decide whether another read is needed. Back off between reads, honor Retry-After on 429, and stop when there is a terminal result or the person needs to answer. Polling never grants additional execution authority. Starting a new Search for every status check can repeat retrieval and lose conversation context. Use Get search for reads and Search for a new turn. For work with a selected agent, continue through Interact.
