External commands not showing when running OpenCode Agent #53249
Description
Reproduction steps
- Make sure you have the following in your settings.json:
"agent_servers": {
"opencode": {
"default_model": "opencode/minimax-m2.5-free",
"favorite_models": [
"opencode/minimax-m2.5-free"
],
// "type": "registry" (doesn't work)
"type": "custom",
"command": "opencode",
"args": [
"acp"
],
}
},
- Start a new chat with external agent (OpenCode) in this case
- Ask the agent to perform any action that requires it to perform some external action via terminal and confirm that it's not asking for permissions or even showing what action it wants to perform. All you see is the screenshot attached below.
Current vs. Expected behavior
Current behavior (with OpenCode agent):
Expected behavior:
Should do the same thing as the Zed Agent. Namely show what the agent wants to run in terminal and if the agent needs permissions add ability to confirm permission. Screenshot from zed agent session below:

This comes down to how OpenCode’s ACP adapter handles terminal commands compared to other ACP agents (like Claude Code ACP). We provide two mechanisms for external ACP agents to display terminal commands with the rich UI you see from the built-in Zed Agent:
terminal/createRPC where the agent asks Zed to run the command in a real terminal._meta-based convention usingterminal_info/terminal_output/terminal_exitfields -- for agents that run commands internally but want Zed to display the output.Claude Code ACP uses approach #2 and gets the rich terminal cards. OpenCode currently uses neither -- it runs commands in its own process and sends results as text content blocks, so Zed has no terminal entity to render.
This is being tracked on OpenCode’s side:
