Mcp tool calls from the agent show the full tool information without any collapsing functionality, full file path arguments are also shown.
Context (who is affected and when)
Small visual improvements, so everyone.
Desired behavior (conceptual, not technical)
For a cleaner interface the following assumptions/changes could be made:
Assume the user knows what the mcp tool does inherently, truncate mcp tool descriptions and instructions and include a small carrot or other element to expend them if needed
When the agent passes file paths to mcp tools the workspace root should be autodetected in the paths and removed, truncated, or replaced with a placeholder to reduce cognitive load, can include full path on hover if necessary.

Needs to keep all current functionality for users who want it, ie make sure to have drop-down and hover interactions to allow for full information viewing when the user wants to.
I don’t think we even need a brief description of the tool or a tooltip.
The most minimalist solution appeals to me the most. Let’s just display a box with the tool’s name and a chevron to expand the description.

I've made something similar on my fork:
