The go-ahead or a go-ahead

I am confused about the use of definite article before the noun-go-ahead. The online dictionaries clearly uses "the" before the noun-go-ahead in all the example sentences.
My made-up sentence:
Did you get the go-ahead for something?
Did you get a go-ahead for something?
How do we know if a given noun is uncount or count?

Jigneshbharati Did you get the go-ahead for something? Did you get a go-ahead for something? I don't see that it makes any difference.
