Lack of Tool Parameter Visibility in Zed Agent Mode

[MorePeanuts]

Description

In Zed's Agent mode, when invoking a database query tool (e.g., query_database), the UI indicates the tool is being used but does not display the specific parameters, such as the generated SQL query string. This lack of visibility prevents users from verifying the correctness of the query, reducing confidence in confirming tool actions. For example, in a data analysis task, users cannot check if the model-generated query matches the intended logic, making confirmation less meaningful.

Expected Behavior

• The Agent Panel should display the exact parameters passed to the query_database tool, such as the SQL query string, in a collapsible section or debug log.

• This would allow users to verify the query's correctness before confirming the action.

Additional Context

• Environment: Zed 0.207.4, macOS, using custom/OpenAI compatible models.

• Use Case: Users need to verify model-generated SQL queries in data analysis tasks to ensure accuracy (e.g., correct table names, conditions).

• Feature request: Add a UI option (e.g., agent.show_tool_parameters: true in settings.json) to display tool parameters, especially for custom tools like query_database.
