When `send_message` did not retrieve any `context`, still the QA step is being run, is this as designed?

This code:

        (context, cypher) = cypher_step.run(message)

        if not cypher or len(cypher) == 0:
            return {
                "question": message,
                "response": "I am sorry, I could not find the answer to your question",
                "context": None,
                "cypher": None
                }

        qa_step = QAStep(
            chat_session=self.qa_chat_session,
            qa_prompt=self.qa_prompt,
        )

        answer = qa_step.run(message, cypher, context)
        self.last_answer = answer
        
        return {
            "question": message, 
            "response": answer, 
            "context": context, 
            "cypher": cypher
            }

Does check on an empty cypher, but the QAStep should only be executed when there is also context available? Or is this as designed?

Thank you again @wnijmeijer! We are leaving it like this to provide an answer based on the Cypher query (the QAStep retrieves the Cypher query). But you are right, it depends on the use case, and we will consider changing it.
