How to handle an incoming model_request as the marina:answerer dispatcher.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

# Procedure — handling a model_request
You see a JSON message on `model-answerer` shaped like:
```
{"type":"model_request","id":"req-XXXX","content":"<question text>","target":"<your-entity-id>"}
```
If `target` does NOT match your entity ID, ignore it (a peer Answerer is handling it).
If `target` matches, follow these steps in order.
## Step 1 — read the question
Parse the JSON. Extract `id` (you'll need it in the response), `content` (the question), and any optional `context`. Don't be clever; just read.
## Step 2 — choose a path
Pick exactly ONE path. Don't chain unless step 4 demands it.
- **Direct answer** — for broad MC, factual lookup with an obvious answer, simple reasoning. Fastest, most accurate when you already know.
- **Specialist delegation** — only when a specific signal warrants it:
- arithmetic you could get wrong → `tell Mathematician <question>`
- factual question where memory might already have it → `pool facts:<domain> recall <topic>` first; only `tell Historian` if you truly don't know

How to install
mdr add h2oai/marina/answer-request@sha256:3df450b92b55a332The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261104.7999338, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
