When an MCP tool call is displayed in the TUI, the collapsed summary line only shows scalar/string parameters, omitting nested object parameters entirely. This makes it impossible to tell which project/target a tool is operating on.
Example:
The lib-install tool from the Unison MCP server takes both a projectContext (object with projectName and branchName) and scalar params (libProjectName, libBranchName). The TUI renders:
↓ lib-install
╰ libBranchName=main, libProjectName=@bbarker/uniclaw
But the actual call also includes:
{
"projectContext": { "projectName": "Siaryey", "branchName": "main" },
"libProjectName": "@bbarker/uniclaw",
"libBranchName": "main"
}
The projectContext — which tells you which project is being modified — is completely invisible.
Expected behavior:
Nested object parameters should be represented in the summary, e.g.:
↓ lib-install
╰ projectContext.projectName=Siaryey, projectContext.branchName=main, libProjectName=@bbarker/uniclaw, libBranchName=main
Or at minimum, flatten one level with dot notation so the user can see what is being acted upon.
