Operational transparency

See what the agent actually did

The answer alone often hides the most important part of an agent session: which files it read, what command it ran, what failed, and which evidence changed its mind. InstaShare keeps that execution trail inspectable.

Calls paired with output

Tool-use IDs connect an invocation with the result recorded elsewhere in the JSONL stream.

Fast visual scanning

Tool families use concise labels and summaries so readers can find commands, edits, reads, searches, and agents quickly.

Payloads on demand

Collapsible panels keep long inputs and results available without overwhelming the normal reading flow.

More than terminal commands

Claude Code sessions may contain shell commands, file reads and writes, pattern searches, web fetches, interactive questions, notebook edits, and delegated agent work. The viewer recognizes common tool names and derives a short human-readable summary from their input.

When a tool result exists, the details panel renders text, structured content, or supported images. Missing results are identified instead of being silently invented.

Useful for review and diagnosis

Tool visibility helps a reviewer distinguish a conclusion based on inspected evidence from one based on assumption. It also makes failed commands, partial results, and unexpected environment behavior part of the handoff.

  • Verify which tests or build commands actually ran.
  • Inspect the exact file path involved in a read or edit.
  • Understand what a web search or delegated task was asked to do.
  • Trace an error back to the command output that produced it.

Tool output may contain sensitive material

Command output and file contents are part of the transcript. Recognized credentials may be redacted by the skill, but filenames, source code, customer data, proprietary values, and arbitrary secrets can remain. Treat tool details as first-class content during review.

How it works

01

Identify a tool use

The viewer reads its name, unique ID, and input payload.

02

Build a concise label

Common tools surface the command, path, query, or task description.

03

Find the matching result

Later records are indexed by tool-use ID and connected back to the call.

04

Reveal details when needed

Readers expand the call to inspect full input and captured output.

Important limits

  • InstaShare displays what the session captured; it cannot recover output omitted from the source JSONL.
  • A public share can expose file contents and command output even when the final assistant answer looks harmless.
