[FEATURE] Add intermediate view mode between default and verbose for MCP tool calls
Resolved 💬 3 comments Opened Apr 14, 2026 by odedun Closed Apr 18, 2026
Problem
The current view modes don't have a useful middle ground for MCP tool calls:
- Default — Collapses MCP calls to just "Calling {server}..." which gives no visibility into what's actually being called
- Verbose — Shows the full tool name, all parameters, and complete output, which floods the terminal when tools have large inputs (e.g. a 20-line SQL query)
Request
A "compact" view mode (or enhancement to default) that shows:
- The full MCP tool name (e.g.
mcp__forter__snowflake-queryinstead of "Calling forter...") - Truncated parameters (e.g. first 2-3 lines or N characters)
This would give enough context to understand what Claude is doing without dumping entire payloads into the transcript.
