What would you like to be added?

This is a tracking issue for enhancing the compact tool output experience across Gemini CLI. The goal is to provide more concise, readable, and information-rich summaries of tool execution, especially for large or repetitive outputs.

Why is this needed?

Long and repetitive tool outputs currently clutter the CLI interface, making it difficult for users to track the overall flow of conversation and tool execution. By compacting these outputs into meaningful summaries, we improve readability, reduce cognitive load, and make the agent's work more transparent and accessible.

Additional context

This parent issue will track progress on all related enhancements to ensure a consistent and high-quality user experience for tool output.
