# Vector Store Question Answer Tool node

The Vector Store Question Answer node is a [tool](/glossary.md#ai-tool) that allows an [agent](/glossary.md#ai-agent) to summarize results and answer questions based on chunks from a [vector store](/glossary.md#ai-vector-store). 

On this page, you'll find the node parameters for the Vector Store Question Answer node, and links to more resources.

## Node parameters

### Description of Data

Enter a description of the data in the vector store.

### Limit

The maximum number of results to return.

## How n8n populates the tool description

n8n uses the node name (select the name to edit) and **Description of Data** parameter to populate the tool description for AI agents using the following format:

> Useful for when you need to answer questions about [node name]. Whenever you need information about [Description of Data], you should ALWAYS use this. Input should be a fully formed question.

Spaces in the node name are converted to underscores in the tool description.

/// warning | Avoid special characters in node names
Using special characters in the node name will cause errors when the agent runs:

![model errors from special characters](/_images/integrations/builtin/cluster-nodes/toolvectorstore/name-characters-error.png)

Use only alphanumeric characters, spaces, dashes, and underscores in node names.
