Include server response output for detailed MCP tool call view #3472

Description

@twchad

Please explain the motivation behind the feature request.
The current detailed MCP call view is a step backwards. Previously, you could easily see the 'output' of a tool call. Now you can't see what the server responded with, which is difficult for troubleshooting. The point of the detailed view is to give advanced users what they need to see what's going on. I'm unsure why this change was made in the first place.

Describe the solution you'd like
Display the output of the server response for every tool call in the detailed view, collapsable via carrot just like the previous functionality.

Describe alternatives you've considered
If you're interacting with and STDIO server, you can ask the agent to show the logs. This doesn't work for SSE or HTTP streaming. You can also ask the agent to echo the server response in the chat, but this isn't reliable depending on the LLM.

Additional context
I can't find any discussion of why this change was made. It feels almost like a regression.
