ToolCallOutput
A headless wrapper for the output or result returned by a tool in a tool call.
Status: beta — implemented and unit-tested in all eight headless libraries; not yet exercised in composed flows.
The output or result returned by the tool. A <div> that becomes a named group when label is given. The component draws, times and animates nothing and carries no strings of its own.
Implementation Notes
- Root element:
<div>with the base classtool-call-outputfirst, then the consumer class restPropsspread onto the root; no internal state beyondopenon the root

Headless
This component decides semantics only. It decides no colour, icon, spinner, layout, monospace style or motion.
Styles
Target .tool-call-output (and [data-status] where it applies). No default styles are included.
Testing
- Renders
<div>with the base classtool-call-outputand appends the consumer class - Attribute behaviour as listed under Props and ARIA, each asserted with a test
- Children render; rest props reach the root
Advice
Show the result as returned; summarise only if the full result is also available.
