Problem Description

When using MCP and OpenAPI tools for tool calling, the current frontend does not provide real-time feedback to indicate which tool is being invoked, the progress, or the status of these tool calls. In scenarios involving complex tasks or multiple tools, it is difficult for users to understand what the model is doing at any given moment. This affects both user experience and debugging efficiency.

Desired Solution you'd like

I hope the chat interface can provide real-time feedback specifically for MCP and OpenAPI tool calls, including:

Displaying clear messages in the UI when a tool invocation starts (e.g., “Invoking tool: [Tool Name/Description]”).
If multiple tools are being called, show the status of each tool separately (e.g., “In Progress”, “Completed”, “Error”, etc.).
Show the result or status update in real time as each tool finishes.

Alternatives Considered

Only displaying the tool name after a response is returned (but this lacks real-time transparency).
Relying on backend logs (not user-friendly for most users).

Additional Context

This feature is mainly aimed at MCP and OpenAPI tool calls, but ideally could be extended to all models and interfaces that support tool calling, providing a consistent and friendly frontend experience.

You should toggle native function calling.
