Problem

When a completed tool call carries an MCP app reference, the thread shows the app card in place of the tool row, so the card is the only view of the result. If the app cannot use its payload, the card stays blank and the tool's input and output are visible nowhere, even though the agent used them. Datadog's dataviz app is one example: it draws only from structuredContent or JSON text, and aggregate_rum_events returns a TSV text block.

Reproduced on main (2b65ffb): web dev server, a Claude thread, and a synthetic stdio MCP server whose ui:// app behaves like Datadog's. With a text/TSV result, the app logged "Unrecognized tool result payload" and the card stayed a blank 320px box. Expanding "Worked for" showed no tool row. A structuredContent result in the same thread drew the app's table, so the host delivers payloads correctly. What was missing is a fallback view of the result.

Change

  • Web (apps/web/src/session-logic.ts) and mobile (apps/mobile/src/lib/threadActivity.ts): an app call now projects its normal tool row first, then the app card. On web the card's id becomes mcp-app:<itemId> so it no longer collides with the row's id. The card still stays outside the turn's "Worked for" fold. On mobile the per-row cache holds both entries in that order, so an incremental rebuild never splits them.
  • Web incremental projection: an app-bearing row now forces a full rebuild when it changes, so an update that drops the app also drops its card.
  • Tool row output (packages/client-runtime/src/work-log/itemDetail.ts): for app calls, the row shows the provider result, normalised the same way as ordinary MCP rows, instead of the internal {t3McpApp, result} wrapper. Image blocks it cannot preview show as [image].
  • Result normalisation at ingest (packages/shared/src/toolOutput.ts): an empty structuredContent ({} or []) counts as absent, so a result with text content shows that text instead of "No output". It applies to Codex and ACP MCP results and, on Claude, to every tool result with structured content, including the result a Claude MCP app receives. Codex app calls keep their raw result and are normalised when the row displays it.
  • Server detail bound (apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/WireProjection.ts): an app call's wrapped result is sent unchanged when it fits the 256 KiB detail bound, so the app keeps its image data; over the bound, image data is stripped and the rest bounded like any tool output. The t3McpApp value is kept only when it parses as a valid app reference; otherwise the whole output is bounded.
  • User docs: MCP apps now appear below their tool call, which keeps its input and result.

Scope and approval

Fixes #33302

This is the part of https://git.cafe/pingdotgg/t3code/issues/16992 a maintainer left open there: "Show an error and retain access to tool results when another MCP app runtime failure occurs." This PR covers retaining access to tool results. The host cannot tell when an app draws nothing (the Datadog app initializes and receives its result), so it adds no error or timeout state.

Verification

Focused tests, each written to fail on main or on the commit before it first (146 pass across the five files):

  • apps/web/src/session-logic.test.ts: "keeps an MCP app call's tool row and output beside its app card"; "drops an MCP app card when an update removes the call's app" (incremental projection).
  • apps/mobile/src/lib/threadActivity.test.ts: "keeps an MCP app call's tool activity beside its app card".
  • packages/client-runtime/src/work-log/itemDetail.test.ts: "shows the tool result, not the app wrapper"; "reads a result with metadata and marks images it cannot preview" (including a bounded result).
  • packages/shared/src/toolOutput.test.ts: mcpToolResultOutput treats an empty structuredContent object and array as absent.
  • apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/WireProjection.test.ts: "leaves a screenshot's bytes out of the fetched tool output": an app result that fits keeps its image data; an oversized one loses it; an invalid oversized t3McpApp value is bounded.
  • vp run check:changed on 885eecb5c8 (main merged): format, lint, knip, typecheck (35 packages), tests in 7 files and the React compiler check pass.

Evidence. Before d1aeed2492 (main), after 697288fc8e; the only later PR commit, 9e73e3c088, changes ingest normalisation, not a render path (P18 is re-run on it). Each side runs its own checkout on a fresh database (T3CODE_DEV_SEED=0) seeded with the same synthetic persisted thread through the server RPC: no provider turns, so the pairs differ only by the change. Web: Chromium on Linux, no device emulation, DPR 2, 100% font scaling, frozen clock, reduced motion, 1440×1000 CSS px (F06 390×844), dark unless labelled.

Recordings, same script both sides:

  • F02 (1 s open fold, 2 s open integration, 3 s open TSV row, 4 s close, 5 s reopen, 6–7 s close and reopen integration, 8–9 s close and reopen fold; the targets do not exist before): before, after.
  • F06 (1 s open row, 2.5 s scroll output to row 48, 4.5 s scroll the feed to its end, 6.5 s feed start, 8 s output start): before, after.
  • P22, a real forked thread whose inherited history holds app calls, after: recording, still.
  • P09, Android Pixel 9 (API 36, 1080×2424, dark, font scale 1.0), same persisted TSV thread, after (2 s start, 6 s open integration, 10 s open TSV row, 13 s close, 17 s reopen): recording.

Transcripts (both sides, synthetic data, byte counts only):

  • P18: identical raw MCP results through the real Codex ingest path. Ordinary {} and [] lose their text before and keep it after (before log, after log at 9e73e3c088); app calls keep their raw envelope on both sides.
  • P19 and P20: the detail RPC keeps a small result's image bytes, strips an oversized result's image data while keeping t3McpApp, and bounds the whole output when the reference is invalid.
  • P21: the mobile feed builder's cached rebuilds equal fresh builds through completion, append, removal and restoration of an app-bearing row.

Earlier captures from real provider turns (they also differ in elapsed labels and narration): F01 closed fold before / after; running → completed → settled before / after; Android live interleaving of rows and cards before / after; Android after for empty, mixed and failed; iOS row and fold reversals after; Settings → Chat → Tool calls in chat cycle, cards stay while rows follow the setting after; guest detail through the real GuestPage with a stubbed guest stream (harness) before / after; web detail loading, error and success (harness) after.

What else changed: each app call gains its tool row, and calls from one integration group under an integration header, so the app card and everything after it move down; a turn whose only work is one app call gains a "Worked for" fold; an ordinary MCP row with an empty structuredContent shows its text. F03 also has faint composer-backdrop pixels at zero threshold where the inserted rows pass behind the glass composer; they are gone at 5%.

Not verified:

  • Native captures of detail loading, error and unavailable states, a cold relaunch, and the native tool-call visibility setting: the shared device pool returned "Remote daemon is unavailable" on every attempt. The mobile diff does not touch those code paths (thread-work-log.tsx fetch states, persistence, the filter in threadActivity.ts); the audit replayed the filter at head with two cards kept through every mode.
  • Native before captures for single rows, the in-place update that drops an app (covered by the session-logic test), the guest route over a live T3 Connect share, desktop (renders the web client), iOS on a physical device and the SwiftUI client.

Driver scripts and fixtures (not committed): drivers, reproduction, fixture matrix, full evidence sheets, audit (an independent rebuild of F03 matched the delivered capture at 0 of 5,760,000 pixels), and the earlier round's repro-mcp-server.mjs and capture protocol.

AI-assisted; verified with the tests and tools listed above.

A completed tool call that carries an MCP app reference becomes only an
app card on web and mobile, so its input and output are lost when the
app cannot render its payload. These tests fail until the tool row is
kept beside the card.

A completed tool call that carried an MCP app reference became only an app
card, so when the app could not use its payload the card stayed blank and
the call's input and output were visible nowhere. The call now keeps its
normal tool row, and the app card follows it as before. On web the card's
entry id gains an `mcp-app:` prefix so it no longer shares the tool row's id;
mobile ids were already distinct, and its per-row feed cache now holds every
entry a row produces.

Walkthrough

Web and mobile timelines now show MCP app cards alongside their tool activity. Tool-result projection preserves MCP app metadata and bounded results. Dynamic-tool detail extracts provider output for display, and empty structured content falls back to content.

Changes: MCP app tool visibility

Layer / File(s) Summary
MCP app result projection and extraction
apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/WireProjection.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/WireProjection.test.ts, packages/shared/src/toolOutput.ts, packages/shared/src/toolOutput.test.ts
Wire projection preserves the MCP app wrapper and bounds its result. Shared result extraction uses content when structured content is empty. Tests cover retained metadata, text, image metadata, and fallback behavior.
Web timeline entries and updates
apps/web/src/session-logic.ts, apps/web/src/session-logic.test.ts, docs/user/html-renders.md
The timeline adds an MCP app entry after the tool row, with an mcp-app:-prefixed ID. Tests cover retained tool output and removal of an app entry when updated output lacks MCP app data. Documentation describes app placement and tool-result visibility.
Mobile feed entries and cache
apps/mobile/src/lib/threadActivity.ts, apps/mobile/src/lib/threadActivity.test.ts
The feed includes both tool activity and an MCP app card for the same projected item. The cache stores and reuses all entries for each row. Tests cover feed contents and activity detail.
Dynamic-tool output formatting
packages/client-runtime/src/work-log/itemDetail.ts, packages/client-runtime/src/work-log/itemDetail.test.ts
MCP app output detail formats the extracted provider result instead of the surrounding app metadata. Tests cover result text and the [image] marker.

Tool output remains available beside the app card, but an oversized app reference can inflate a detail response. Bound the reference and strengthen the image-redaction assertion before merging, or explicitly accept these bounded risks.

Explanation

Active issue #33302 reports that an MCP app can show a blank card while hiding a usable provider result. The web and mobile projections now retain the tool activity beside the app card. itemDetail.ts displays the provider result instead of the app wrapper. WireProjection.ts preserves the wrapper and bounded result for detail projection, and mcpToolResultOutput falls back to content when structuredContent is empty. The focused tests cover projection, result display, and result normalization. The issue’s reproduced case is addressed. The reference to closed issue #16992 does not add a separate coding requirement for this PR.

Explanation

The changed server projection and shared result-normalization code support retaining readable MCP app tool results for #33302. The web and mobile tests, client-runtime and shared tests, and documentation change cover or explain that behavior. No unrelated change is evident.

A tool result with `structuredContent: {}` replaced its text content, so the row
said "No output". Empty structured content now counts as absent, for app rows
and ordinary MCP rows alike.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Image data inside an app call's wrapped result was not stripped, so a large
image truncated the detail payload and the row printed the raw wrapper. The
server now bounds the wrapped result like any tool output and keeps the app
reference, and the client unwraps a bounded result too.

… valid

The detail bound kept any `t3McpApp` value verbatim, so a tool output shaped
like the app wrapper could carry an oversized value past the 256 KiB limit.
The server now reads the reference with readMcpAppReference and bounds the
whole output like any other tool output when it is not a valid reference.

…e detail bound

Stripping image data from an app call's wrapped result also stripped it from
the payload the app itself receives, so an app drawing an image got image
blocks without data. The server now sends an app's result unchanged when it
fits the 256 KiB detail bound and strips images only from one that does not.
The tool row still shows `[image]` for app images.

Seed the same successful aggregate_rum_events call with query @type:view service:checkout, TSV output and an app requiring structured content. Open the completed thread; expand Worked for and Aggregate rum events where available. Base has no tool row. Head shows the input and TSV above the retained app card. Web/Electron appFrames=1 on both commits; toolRows=0 before and 1 after.

Environment Before After
Commit 5be6bc99 0b963bd0
Web, Chromium, light, 1280×800 CSS Before: app card without tool row After: query and TSV above retained app card
Web recording Before After expansion
Electron, light, 1280×800 Before: Electron app card without tool row After: Electron tool result and app card
Electron recording Before After expansion
Android Pixel 9, light, 1080×2424; identical header crop Before: Android app card without tool row After: Android query and TSV above retained app card
Android recording Unavailable: pool commands stalled during recording. After expansion

Supplemental real-server observation: the large result becomes a string without its app reference on base; head retains the app reference beside the bounded result. Runtime transcript.

Head supplemental detail captures, Chromium/light/1280×800 CSS, cropped to the relevant result and app:

Empty structured content falls back to text and an image marker

Failed call retains readable error beside its app

Reproduction assets: seed.py, CLI steps, Electron driver, edge-case seed, server driver executed on both sides, capture environments and limitations.

AI-assisted; verified with the tests and tools listed above.

Not shown:

  • A usable base Android interaction recording is missing: repeated remote-daemon failures and stalled commands prevented recording the completed reproduction. The stable before/after native Android stills were captured and inspected.
  • Actual Claude Code plus Datadog plugin execution was not performed; the reproduction uses identical synthetic MCP payloads through the real Replay provider, server and clients.
  • Image-byte preservation in boundToolOutput is unverified because the Replay adapter stripped image bytes before detail projection. The uploaded fallback capture demonstrates text and an image marker, not preserved image bytes.
  • App-reference removal during an update and the associated cache transition were not exercised.
  • Empty-structured-content and failed-call UI captures are supplemental head observations; equivalent edge-case interaction recordings on base and mobile were not completed.
