Tool caling UI

[marchellodev]

When using Open Web UI's native search feature, we can see this UI that the model is using a tool:

After it's done, we can see the intermediate results:

It would be great if we could construct a similar UI to the user through pipelines.

hm, maybe that's already possible -- https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/blob/main/src/lib/components/chat/Chat.svelte#L257-L264

This has been discussed before. I would LOVE this feature - for pipelines to be able to use __event_emitter__

I'm not sure why the suggestion of using a function includes an example in which a pipe() function is defined... I'm still misunderstanding the distinction between functions and pipes.

+1 that this is a cool feature -- perhaps there are two requests? One for final output and context and the other for intermediate results for some long-running processes?

• final output looks like passing some other response via output payload from a pipieline, as @marchellodev mentioned.
• intermediate results look like the emitter framework with OpenWebUI mentioned by @PlebeiusGaragicus , but that will not be trivial because at first glance the best you can do for message passing is using the streaming services instead --- but this may be the fastest path to implementation

Also looks related to #229 in this repo.
