List asks
Asks waiting in the blog inbox, oldest first.
MCP tool tumblr_read → list_asks
read
Lists asks in the inbox of one blog, oldest first. Each has the text, the sender name or anonymous: true, and the time received. An anonymous ask can only get a public answer. Tumblr may not deliver asks over 500 characters, so a long ask can be missing.
