Check Existing Issues

I have searched for all existing open AND closed issues and discussions for similar requests. I have found none that is comparable to my request.

Verify Feature Scope

I have read through and understood the scope definition for feature requests in the Issues section. I believe my feature request meets the definition and belongs in the Issues section instead of the Discussions.

Problem Description

Adding an option to full hide tool results (json output) can provide two benefits:

Tools that return large datasets (thousands of tokens) currently cause UI lag (if toggled). Hiding these outputs would ensure a smoother user experience
Tool outputs may contain data that we do not want to show to the user. Providing an option to hide this information prevents accidental exposure and makes data extraction more difficult

Desired Solution you'd like

Add an option to hide the output of tools.
