You got the rule in post #2.
You got a couple of different mechanics (call first, then ask; or ask first and then call) in other posts. You won't find one answer for this -- the general assumption is that it won't be needed vary often.
And, you got some advice on minimizing the need for the mechanic above. Heck, I've made calls in this situation from nearly the first base line (well, 1/2 way between the mound and the line) and from the dirt outside the 1b-2b baseline. All going where I needed to go to get out of the way of the throw and to get an angle on the pulled foot.
So, I'd say you got more than you asked for.
I think the phrase you should be looking for is, "Thank you."
