There was a problem hiding this comment.
This branch only filters messages whose normalized role equals toolresult, so assistant history entries that encode tool calls as content blocks (for example type: "tool_use"/"tool_call" without a top-level toolCallId) are still kept when the toggle is off. In that case renderGroupedMessage suppresses the tool cards but still renders the group shell, so users see blank chat rows and tool-call messages are not actually hidden for those transcript formats.
Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.
Add a wrench icon toggle button next to the existing brain (thinking) toggle. When toggled off, tool call messages, tool result messages, and inline tool cards are hidden from the chat view. The toggle operates independently of the thinking/reasoning toggle. - Add chatShowToolUse setting to UiSettings (default: true) - Add wrench toggle button in chat controls - Filter tool messages in buildChatItems based on showToolUse - Pass showToolUse through grouped-render to hide tool cards - Add toolUseToggle i18n string

When showToolCalls is false, messages containing only tool cards (no text, no images) should not render empty bubbles. Credit: @aleiby via openclaw#20317 (comment) See also: openclaw#19770 Co-authored-by: aleiby

Summary
Add a dedicated wrench icon toggle button in the Control UI chat controls to hide/show tool use messages (tool calls and tool results) independently of the thinking/reasoning toggle.
Before: Tool use messages were tied to the brain (thinking) toggle — hiding thinking also hid tool results. No way to hide tool clutter while keeping thinking visible, or vice versa.
After: Separate wrench icon toggle next to the brain icon. Each toggle controls its own concern independently:
