Tool Widgets and Review
Use this skill for questions about how users see tool activity during chats or workflow runs.
Operator experience
- Tool activity is presented in compact widgets or grouped timelines so users can understand progress without losing the surrounding conversation.
- Running and completed states matter because operators often need to know whether the system is still busy or already finished.
- Persisted history should still make sense after live streaming ends.
Why the presentation matters
- Good tool presentation builds trust because users can see what the system attempted.
- Grouped tool activity is especially useful when several small steps belong to one larger action.
Practical guidance
- If a user asks what the system did, point to the visible tool-call history before paraphrasing it.
- If a widget looks incomplete, confirm whether execution is still in progress or whether the persisted history has already refreshed.
- Explain tool widgets as evidence of runtime behavior, not as decorative UI.
