Option to see the the Model's usage of a tool, the unfiltered tool call from the model.

[Zabalero]

Basically, an option to see how the model is sending the tool usage request.
Some "dumb" models use the tools incorrectly despite being given instructions on how to use them.
Seeing how the model is calling the tool may help in debugging and guiding these models specifically in what they're failing when using the tools .
This could also help fine tuning the System Prompt to send to these dumb models.

I've been experimening A LOT with making free but dumb models do the job, and I'm finding that I can make significant improvements refining the system prompt for the specific failures the model has.
But the missing piece is the tool usage, as I can't see how it's trying to use the tool.
It just gets stuck in the tool usage (for not closing the tags) of failing continuously.
Seeing what they do in the tool call would help a lot in refining the last details to make a FREE (but dumb) model usable.

You can see the tool usage in the task export btw if you really want to. Do you have thoughts on how / where to show more details?

Yes, this is how I would implement it:
1 - Adding a checkbox in the settings called "Debug model's tool usage"
2 - When the model makes a call to use a tool, Roo receives it and instead of going directly to make the tool use, it would first display the tool call exactly as the model called it, showing it in a "thinking box".
And then make the tool call.

What do you think about it?
