Show tool call details instead of empty messages in chat #23

Description

Problem

When the AI agent makes tool calls during a conversation, empty message bubbles appear in the chat UI. This creates a confusing experience for the user.

Expected behavior

Since tool calls result in two messages (the tool call and the tool response), we should show what's happening rather than hiding them:

  • Display which tool is being called and what it's doing
  • Show the tool response/result

This gives the user visibility into the agent's actions and makes the conversation flow more transparent.

Current behavior

Empty/blank message bubbles appear in the chat when tool calls occur.
