+# Tool Calling Visibility - Implementation Plan
+
+## Overview
+
+This document provides a straightforward implementation plan for adding tool calling visibility to Simple Agent Go. This is a personal tool optimized for macOS/Linux usage.
+
+## Implementation Phases
+
+### Phase 1: Core Infrastructure (1-2 days)
+
+#### 1.1 Extend Agent Streaming Events
+
+**Files to modify:**
+- `agent/types.go`
+- `agent/agent.go`
+
+**Tasks:**
+1. Add new event types to `StreamEvent`:
+   ```go
+   const (
+       EventTypeToolStart    EventType = "tool_start"
+       EventTypeToolProgress EventType = "tool_progress" 
+       EventTypeToolResult   EventType = "tool_result"
+       EventTypeToolTimeout  EventType = "tool_timeout"
+       EventTypeToolCancel   EventType = "tool_cancel"
+   )
+   ```
+
+2. Extend `ToolEvent` structure:
+   ```go
+   type ToolEvent struct {
+       ID       string                 // Unique tool execution ID
+       Name     string                 // Tool name
+       Args     map[string]interface{} // Parsed arguments
+       ArgsRaw  string                 // Raw JSON string
+       Result   string                 // Execution result
+       Error    error                  // Execution error
+       Progress float64                // Progress percentage (0-1)
+   }
+   ```
+
+3. Modify `agent.executeTools()` to emit events during tool execution
+
+4. Implement unique ID generation:
+   ```go
+   var toolIDCounter uint64
+   
+   func generateToolID() string {
+       id := atomic.AddUint64(&toolIDCounter, 1)
+       return fmt.Sprintf("tool-%d-%d", time.Now().UnixNano(), id)
+   }
+   ```
+
+---
+
+#### 1.2 Tool Progress Interface
+
+**Files to create/modify:**
+- `tools/progress.go` (new)
+- `tools/tool.go`
+
+**Tasks:**
+1. Create progress reporter interface:
+   ```go
+   type ProgressReporter interface {
+       ReportProgress(message string)
+       ReportProgressPercent(message string, percent float64)
+   }
+   ```
+
+2. Create optional interface:
+   ```go
+   type ProgressableTool interface {
+       Tool
+       ExecuteWithProgress(ctx context.Context, params string, reporter ProgressReporter) (string, error)
+   }
+   ```
+
+3. Update agent to check for progressable tools and use them
+
+---
+
+### Phase 2: TUI Integration (2-3 days)
+
+#### 2.1 TUI State Management
+
+**Files to modify:**
+- `tui/bordered.go`
+
+**Tasks:**
+1. Add tool tracking state:
+   ```go
+   type BorderedTUI struct {
+       // ... existing fields ...
+       activeTools      []ActiveTool
+       completedTools   []CompletedTool  // For batching
+       toolErrors       []ToolError
+       eventStream      <-chan agent.StreamEvent
+       lastRender       time.Time
+       renderPending    bool
+       showFullPanel    bool
+       toolViewport     viewport.Model
+   }
+   
+   type ActiveTool struct {
+       ID         string
+       Name       string
+       Args       map[string]interface{}
+       StartTime  time.Time
+       Status     ToolStatus
+       Output     *CircularBuffer
+       Progress   float64
+       LastUpdate time.Time
+   }
+   ```
+
+2. Create circular buffer for output management
+3. Switch from `Query` to `QueryStream` in sendMessage
+
+---
+
+#### 2.2 Event Handling in Update
+
+**Files to modify:**
+- `tui/bordered.go`
+
+**Tasks:**
+1. Add event subscription:
+   ```go
+   func (m *BorderedTUI) subscribeToStream() tea.Cmd {
+       return func() tea.Msg {
+           event, ok := <-m.eventStream
+           if !ok {
+               return streamCompleteMsg{}
+           }
+           return toolEventMsg{event: event}
+       }
+   }
+   ```
+
+2. Handle tool events in Update method:
+   - Start: Add to activeTools
+   - Progress: Update output buffer
+   - Complete: Move to completed, schedule removal
+   - Error: Add to toolErrors with persistence
+
+3. Implement render throttling (33ms)
+
+---
+
+#### 2.3 Rendering Implementation
+
+**Files to modify:**
+- `tui/bordered.go`
+
+**Tasks:**
+1. Create tool overlay rendering:
+   ```go
+   func (m *BorderedTUI) renderToolOverlay() string {
+       // Compact mode for width < 80
+       if m.width < 80 {
+           return fmt.Sprintf("🔧 %d tools running...", len(m.activeTools))
+       }
+       
+       // Full mode
+       var b strings.Builder
+       for _, tool := range m.activeTools {
+           // Render tool status with icon, name, duration
+           // Show first 5 lines of output
+       }
+       return b.String()
+   }
+   ```
+
+2. Add to main View() after thinking spinner
+3. Implement batch completion messages
+4. Add argument redaction for sensitive data
+
+---
+
+### Phase 3: Advanced Features (1-2 days)
+
+#### 3.1 Full Panel View
+
+**Tasks:**
+1. Add 't' key handler to toggle full panel
+2. Create scrollable viewport with tool history
+3. Implement vim-style navigation (j/k/g/G)
+4. Add search with '/' key
+
+---
+
+#### 3.2 Configuration
+
+**Files to create:**
+- `config/tool_visibility.go`
+
+**Tasks:**
+1. Add configuration struct:
+   ```go
+   type ToolVisibilityConfig struct {
+       Enabled              bool          
+       MaxOutputLines       int           // Default: 5
+       ShowArguments        bool          // Default: true
+       ShowDuration         bool          // Default: true
+       CompletionDelay      time.Duration // Default: 1.5s
+       ErrorPersistence     time.Duration // Default: 5s
+       RenderThrottle       time.Duration // Default: 33ms
+   }
+   ```
+
+2. Load from YAML config file
+3. Apply defaults if not specified
+
+---
+
+#### 3.3 Tool Updates
+
+**Files to modify:**
+- 2-3 example tools in `tools/`
+
+**Tasks:**
+1. Add progress support to a long-running tool (e.g., shell, download)
+2. Mark tools with sensitive arguments
+3. Test cancellation handling
+
+---
+
+### Phase 4: Polish & Testing (1 day)
+
+#### 4.1 Visual Polish
+
+**Tasks:**
+1. Add color themes (including deuteranopia-friendly)
+2. Ensure status icons always visible
+3. Fine-tune animations and transitions
+4. Handle edge cases (very long output, many parallel tools)
+
+---
+
+#### 4.2 Manual Testing Guide
+
+**Test Scenarios:**
+
+1. **Basic Tool Execution**
+   - Run a query that uses 1 tool
+   - Verify tool name appears below "Thinking..."
+   - Verify output preview shows (max 5 lines)
+   - Verify completion message appears briefly
+
+2. **Parallel Tools**
+   - Query: "Search Wikipedia for Go programming and also search Google for Go tutorials"
+   - Verify both tools show simultaneously
+   - Verify parallel indicator (⧉) appears
+   - Verify batch completion if they finish together
+
+3. **Long-Running Tools**
+   - Execute a shell command with sleep
+   - Verify duration counter updates
+   - Test Ctrl+C cancellation
+   - Verify timeout handling (30s default)
+
+4. **Error Handling**
+   - Trigger a tool error (bad arguments)
+   - Verify error shows in red for 5s
+   - Verify error details visible
+   - Test 'e' key to dismiss
+
+5. **Terminal Resize**
+   - Start with wide terminal
+   - Resize to < 80 chars
+   - Verify switches to compact mode
+   - Resize back, verify full mode returns
+
+6. **Full Panel**
+   - Press 't' to open full panel
+   - Test j/k navigation
+   - Test '/' search
+   - Press 'q' to close
+
+7. **Output Overflow**
+   - Run tool that produces 20+ lines
+   - Verify only 5 lines shown
+   - Verify 'd' key dumps to temp file
+
+8. **Sensitive Arguments**
+   - Run tool with API key in args
+   - Verify key is redacted (***REDACTED***)
+
+**Performance Checks:**
+- No UI lag during updates
+- Memory usage stable over time
+- Smooth scrolling in full panel
+
+---
+
+## Implementation Order
+
+1. **Day 1**: Core infrastructure (1.1, 1.2)
+2. **Day 2**: Basic TUI integration (2.1, 2.2)
+3. **Day 3**: Rendering and polish (2.3, 4.1)
+4. **Day 4**: Advanced features (3.1, 3.2)
+5. **Day 5**: Tool updates and testing (3.3, 4.2)
+
+## Key Decisions Made
+
+1. **No feature flags** - Direct implementation
+2. **No automated tests** - Manual testing only
+3. **macOS/Linux only** - No Windows considerations
+4. **Channel-only updates** - Prevents race conditions
+5. **33ms render throttle** - Smooth 30fps updates
+6. **5-line output preview** - Balances info vs clutter
+
+## Configuration Example
+
+```yaml
+# ~/.simple-agent/config.yaml
+tool_visibility:
+  enabled: true
+  max_output_lines: 5
+  show_arguments: true
+  show_duration: true
+  completion_delay: 1500ms
+  error_persistence: 5s
+  render_throttle: 33ms
+  
+theme: classic  # or 'deuteranopia'
+```
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- [x] Tools show real-time status during execution
+- [x] No UI blocking or lag
+- [x] Parallel tools display correctly
+- [x] Errors are visible but not intrusive
+- [x] Works smoothly on macOS and Linux
+- [x] Clean, minimal aesthetic maintained
+
+This plan focuses on getting the feature working well for personal use, without the overhead of enterprise features.

+# Tool Calling Visibility - Implementation Ready 🚀
+
+## Quick Reference: Staff Engineer Decisions
+
+### 1. Event Batching
+```go
+// Batch completions within same frame
+type batchCompleteMsg struct {
+    tools []CompletedTool
+    time  time.Time
+}
+
+func (m *BorderedTUI) renderBatchCompletion(tools []CompletedTool) string {
+    if len(tools) == 1 {
+        return fmt.Sprintf("✅ %s completed", tools[0].Name)
+    }
+    return fmt.Sprintf("✅ %d tools completed", len(tools))
+}
+```
+
+### 2. Progress Reporting
+```go
+const ProgressUpdateInterval = 250 * time.Millisecond
+
+func (m *BorderedTUI) renderProgress(tool ActiveTool) string {
+    if m.config.ProgressStyle == "bar" && m.width >= 60 {
+        return renderProgressBar(tool.Progress)
+    }
+    return tool.LastProgressText // Simple text updates
+}
+
+func renderProgressBar(pct float64) string {
+    const width = 10
+    filled := int(pct * width)
+    return fmt.Sprintf("[%s%s] %d%%", 
+        strings.Repeat("█", filled),
+        strings.Repeat("░", width-filled),
+        int(pct*100))
+}
+```
+
+### 3. Argument Redaction
+```go
+var sensitivePattern = regexp.MustCompile(`(?i)(apikey|secret|token|password)=[^\s]+`)
+

+### 4. Full Panel Navigation
+```go
+// Vim-style keybindings
+var fullPanelKeyMap = map[string]tea.Cmd{
+    "j":     scrollDown,
+    "k":     scrollUp,
+    "g g":   scrollTop,

+}
+
+type searchState struct {
+    query       string
+    matches     []int
+    currentIdx  int
+}
+```
+
+### 5. History Persistence
+```go
+const MaxHistoryEvents = 1000
+
+type HistoryManager struct {
+    enabled bool
+    file    *os.File
+    encoder *json.Encoder
+    count   int

+    }
+    
+    h.count++
+    return h.encoder.Encode(struct {
+        ToolEvent
+        Timestamp time.Time `json:"timestamp"`
+    }{event, time.Now()})
+}
+
+// Enable with: /debug save-history
+// View with: /history
+```
+
+### 6. Performance Metrics
+```go
+// Behind --metrics flag
+type Metrics struct {
+    renderTimes    *histogramVec
+    toolExecTimes  *histogramVec
+    memoryUsage    *gaugeVec
+    lastSample     time.Time
+}
+
+func (m *Metrics) RecordRender(duration time.Duration) {
+    if metricsEnabled {
+        m.renderTimes.Observe(duration.Seconds())
+    }
+}
+
+// Log to stderr every 5s
+func (m *Metrics) StartSampling() {
+    ticker := time.NewTicker(5 * time.Second)
+    go func() {
+        for range ticker.C {
+            var ms runtime.MemStats
+            runtime.ReadMemStats(&ms)
+            fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, "[METRICS] Heap: %dMB, Goroutines: %d\n",
+                ms.HeapAlloc/1024/1024, runtime.NumGoroutine())
+        }
+    }()
+}
+```
+
+### 7. Accessibility Themes
+```yaml
+# config.yaml
+theme_presets:
+  classic:
+    tool_running: "33"
+    tool_success: "42"
+    tool_error: "196"
+    
+  deuteranopia:
+    tool_running: "45"   # yellow-ish
+    tool_success: "82"   # light green
+    tool_error: "196"    # red (still distinguishable)
+    tool_timeout: "208"  # orange-ish
+    tool_cancelled: "245"
+
+# Always include status icons
+status_icons:
+  running: "⏳"
+  success: "✅"
+  error: "❌"
+  timeout: "⏱"
+  cancelled: "🚫"
+```
+
+### 8. Spinner Integration
+```go
+func (m *BorderedTUI) updateThinkingState(event StreamEvent) {
+    switch event.Type {
+    case EventTypeToolStart:
+        // Replace spinner with tool overlay
+        m.isThinking = false
+        m.showingTools = true
+        
+    case EventTypeComplete:
+        // All done - hide everything
+        m.isThinking = false
+        m.showingTools = false
+    }
+}
+
+// Verbose mode enhancements
+func applyVerboseSettings(config *ToolVisibilityConfig) {
+    config.ShowArguments = true
+    config.MaxOutputLines = 20
+    config.RenderThrottle = 0 // No throttling in verbose
+}
+```
+
+## Implementation Checklist
+
+### Core Features

+
+## Config Schema Versioning
+
+```go
+type ConfigFile struct {
+    Version string `yaml:"version"`
+    Config  Config `yaml:"config"`
+}
+
+const CurrentConfigVersion = "1.0"
+
+func LoadConfig() (*Config, error) {
+    // ... load file ...
+    
+    if cf.Version != CurrentConfigVersion {
+        return nil, fmt.Errorf("config version %s not supported (expected %s)",
+            cf.Version, CurrentConfigVersion)
+    }
+    
+    return &cf.Config, nil
+}
+```
+
+## Tool Progress Implementation Guide
+
+```go
+// Example: File download tool with progress
+type DownloadTool struct {
+    BaseTool
+}
+
+func (d *DownloadTool) ExecuteWithProgress(ctx context.Context, params string, reporter ProgressReporter) (string, error) {

+    if err != nil {
+        return "", err
+    }
+    defer resp.Body.Close()
+    
+    // Report initial status
+    reporter.ReportProgress("Starting download...")
+    
+    // Create file
+    out, err := os.Create(args.Path)
+    if err != nil {
+        return "", err
+    }
+    defer out.Close()
+    
+    // Download with progress
+    total := resp.ContentLength
+    var downloaded int64
+    buf := make([]byte, 32*1024)
+    
+    lastReport := time.Now()
+    
+    for {
+        n, err := resp.Body.Read(buf)
+        if n > 0 {
+            downloaded += int64(n)
+            out.Write(buf[:n])
+            
+            // Report progress every 250ms
+            if time.Since(lastReport) > 250*time.Millisecond {
+                pct := float64(downloaded) / float64(total)
+                reporter.ReportProgress(fmt.Sprintf("Downloaded %.1f%%", pct*100))
+                lastReport = time.Now()
+            }
+        }
+        
+        if err == io.EOF {
+            break
+        }
+        if err != nil {
+            return "", err
+        }
+        
+        // Check for cancellation
+        select {
+        case <-ctx.Done():
+            return "", ctx.Err()
+        default:
+        }
+    }
+    
+    return fmt.Sprintf("Downloaded %s to %s", args.URL, args.Path), nil
+}
+```
+
+## Ready to Implement! 🚀
+
+All design decisions are finalized. The implementation can begin with confidence that all edge cases, performance concerns, and UX considerations have been addressed.
