The Overview's Tools section was a rank-ordered bar chart — one row per tool, the bar its call count, a red head where calls failed. It spent ~400px answering which tool was called most, a question nobody arrives with, and never said when anything happened or how to reach the call that broke.

Now

A ledger, ~150px for the same session:

  • Columns are the real questions — calls, failures, total time, slowest call — sorted by time spent, so the tool that burned the session is the first row.
  • Every call on the session's clock. One mark per call, at its start time, sized by its duration. Clicking a mark opens that call's span in the inspection overlay the findings list already uses.
  • Expanding a tool discloses the gen_ai.tool.description the model was given, plus each failed call with its error, the turn and offset it happened at, and Open span. Both facts used to live elsewhere (rail disclosure, findings list); the tool row is where a reader asking about a tool looks.
  • The cheap tail folds into one row (no failures, ≤10% of tool time between them, 3+ rows), and a tool that failed keeps its row however little time it cost — so a session reaching for forty tools still fits.

Data

SessionToolUsage now carries the calls behind the totals: each call's span id, start, duration, turn index, and error label/detail, plus totalMs / slowestMs. Ordering moves from call count to time spent. The prose-extraction helpers (firstProse, clipDetail) move down from session-findings into session-summary so the findings list and a tool row name a failure the same way.

Design

Chosen from three redesigns explored in Paper against a mirror of the shipped page — "Maple — Agent Sessions (Session Detail)", artboards v5 — Tools redesign A/B/C, this one is C.

Verified

  • tsc --noEmit clean; vitest src/components/agent-sessions src/lib/agent-sessions 342 pass.
  • New tests cover: mark opens the span, expansion discloses description + failed call + Open span, the fold keeps the expensive and the failed, per-call events and error extraction, ordering by time spent.
  • Checked in /lab/agent-session?view=overview at 1440 and 900 wide — no overflow, no horizontal scroll.
  • Pre-existing unrelated failures on main (timezone/global-namespace/atom localStorage suites) are untouched.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added a detailed tool usage ledger showing call counts, failures, total time, and slowest calls.
    • Added per-call timelines that can be selected to inspect underlying activity.
    • Added expandable tool rows with descriptions and failed-call details.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Updated session findings displays so interrupted sessions no longer show an incorrect completion verdict.
    • Improved extraction and display of tool failure details from session results.
    • Improved sidebar icon validation for more reliable icon display.

The Tools section was a rank-ordered bar chart: one row per tool, the bar
its call count, a red head where calls failed. It spent 400px of the
overview answering "which tool was called most" — a question nobody
arrives with — and never said when anything happened or how to reach the
call that broke.

It is now a ledger. The columns are the questions an engineer actually
has (calls, failures, total time, slowest call), sorted by time spent, so
the tool that burned the session is the first row. Beside them every call
sits on the session's own clock, one mark per call at its start time and
sized by its duration: a row says *when*, and clicking a mark opens that
call's span in the inspection overlay.

Expanding a tool discloses what the rail used to hide — the definition
the model was given — together with each failed call, its error, where in
the session it happened, and a way straight into the span. The cheap tail
folds into one row, and a tool that failed keeps its own row however
little time it cost, so a session reaching for forty tools still fits.

`SessionToolUsage` carries the calls behind it to make that possible:
each call's span id, start, duration, turn, and error. The prose
extraction helpers move down into `session-summary` so both the findings
list and a tool row can name a failure the same way.
…s room

Time spent was the wrong first question for the ledger: how often the
agent went back to a tool is what a reader scans the column for, and the
cost of each stays one column over. Rows go to 24px, and the caption
under the section goes — the marks explain themselves.
The folded tail saved a few rows and cost the reader a click to see what
the session actually reached for. At 24px a row the whole inventory fits,
and a ledger that hides its cheap end is not a ledger.
…headline

Boundaries alternated 28px and 28-rule-28, header-to-content gaps ran 0,
14 and 12 across three sections, and a finding row carried twice the air
of a tool row — the column read as dead space in some places and dense in
others. Every boundary is now the same hairline with 24px either side,
every section opens on the same 12px gap, and the finding rows tighten
towards the density of the rest.

"Completed, with N findings" goes with it. The findings list is directly
below, counting itself in its own header; the headline said it twice and
took the top of the page to do it. A failed or clean session still leads
with its verdict — there the line is the only place the outcome is
stated. The breakdown moves above the findings, so the page opens on the
shape of the session before its faults.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The session summary now exposes detailed tool-call events. The session overview renders these events in a timeline ledger with aggregate metrics, expandable failure details, and span selection. Attention sessions no longer show a completed verdict line. Sidebar icon lookup now validates icon names.

Changes

Tool usage overview

Layer / File(s) Summary
Per-call tool summary data
apps/web/src/lib/agent-sessions/session-summary.ts, apps/web/src/lib/agent-sessions/session-findings.ts, apps/web/src/lib/agent-sessions/session-summary.test.ts
Tool summaries now include timing, failure metadata, error details, turn indexes, and aggregate duration values. Shared error-detail helpers are imported from session-summary.
Interactive tool usage ledger
apps/web/src/components/agent-sessions/session-detail/session-overview.tsx
The overview replaces ranked tool bars with a ledger that shows tool metrics, call timelines, descriptions, failed-call details, and span actions.
Overview behavior validation
apps/web/src/components/agent-sessions/session-detail/session-detail.test.tsx
Tests validate the attention verdict, ledger span selection, expanded tool details, and view switching.

Sidebar icon validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Validated sidebar icon lookup
apps/clickhouse-builder-docs/src/sidebar-icons.tsx
Sidebar icon names are derived from the icon map, and lookup validates names before accessing icons.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 61889

The tool ledger can show excessively long failure content and mislabel calls starting at the session beginning. Documentation navigation can also fail when an inherited property name is supplied as an icon. These issues should be corrected before merge.

`Record<string, ReactNode>` on the literal threw away the one thing the
map knows — which icons exist — and `maple/no-record-string-any`'s
open-dictionary rule fails the lint on it, which is what has had main red
since the docs app landed. Inference plus `satisfies` keeps the check on
the values, and the lookup narrows an arbitrary name to a key it holds
rather than indexing an open dictionary.

Handle a zero offset in callWhen.

formatSessionDuration returns "—" for a value of 0 or less. A tool call that starts at the session start therefore renders turn 1, — in, 0.1s, both in the mark tooltip and in the failed-call row. The session start is the earliest span start, so a tool call can share it.

🩹 Proposed fix
-	const at = `${formatSessionDuration(event.startMs - sessionStartMs)} in, ${formatToolDuration(event.durationMs)}`
+	const offsetMs = event.startMs - sessionStartMs
+	const since = offsetMs <= 0 ? "0s" : formatSessionDuration(offsetMs)
+	const at = `${since} in, ${formatToolDuration(event.durationMs)}`

Clip the result-derived error detail.

The status-message path clips to 140 characters. The toolCallResult path returns firstProse(result) unclipped. A framework that records a long error value as the tool result gives an unbounded errorDetail, and FailedCallRow renders it as plain text in the ledger row. The previous helper in session-findings.ts applied clipDetail(prose) for the same reason.

🩹 Proposed fix
 	const result = span.genAi.toolCallResult
-	return result === undefined ? undefined : firstProse(result)
+	if (result === undefined) return undefined
+	const prose = firstProse(result)

Check own properties before indexing icons.

name in icons accepts inherited names such as "__proto__", "constructor", and "toString". These names pass isSidebarIconName, so sidebarIcon(name) can place a non-React object or function inside the SVG and fail during rendering.
