Problem Statement
Claude Desktop: no visibility into tool calls causes major productivity loss
When Claude executes tools (SSH commands, file reads, API calls), the Desktop app hides everything. The user only sees Claude's text responses, not what's actually being executed. On long-running commands (30s–10min), there's no progress indicator, no log, nothing. This makes it impossible to catch wrong directions early. In VS Code, tool calls are visible in real time — that's the experience Desktop should match. Without this, ~80% of debugging time is wasted waiting for results that could have been stopped 2 minutes earlier.
Proposed Solution
Give an option to get the same in Desktop than in VS Code
