About
Trust in an agent comes from seeing what it did. The card is closed by default so a long run stays readable, and open on demand.
Use it when
- An assistant calls tools the user may want to inspect.
Skip it when
- The results are large: link to a detail page.
Install
- 1Add the VibeBox registry to
components.json:{ "registries": { "@vibebox": "https://motion.vibeboxph.com/r/{name}.json" } } - 2Add the component with the shadcn CLI:
npx shadcn@latest add @vibebox/tool-call-card - 3Use it:
import { ToolCallCard } from "@/components/vibebox/tool-call-card"; <ToolCallCard accent="#7c5cff" />
AI prompt
Everything an AI coding tool needs to rebuild this component the way it looks here: colours, fonts, the art it draws, props and rules.
Read the prompt
Build the VibeBox Motion component "Tool Call Card" (AI and agents) in a Next.js App Router project with Tailwind CSS v4.
What it is
- A tool call an agent made: name and status on a line, arguments and result under a disclosure.
- How an agent shows its work: the tool's name in a mono face with a status dot (success, error or pulsing for running), and a native disclosure that opens to the arguments and the result. It uses `details`, so it works without script and by keyboard.
Install
- `npx shadcn@latest add @vibebox/tool-call-card`
- Registry: add `"@vibebox": "https://motion.vibeboxph.com/r/{name}.json"` to components.json, then run the command. The source lands in `components/vibebox/tool-call-card` and is yours to edit.
Visual spec
- Colours (the VibeBox spectrum, the same in light and dark):
- --spectrum-1: #00c5fc (cyan)
- --spectrum-2: #1d6ef0 (blue)
- --spectrum-3: #5225ed (indigo)
- --spectrum-4: #e434dc (magenta)
- --spectrum-5: #fd3aa9 (pink)
- --spectrum-6: #f98472 (coral)
- --spectrum-7: #fcbe72 (amber)
- Ink surface (dark): background #05070c, card #0a0d15, text #f5f6fa, muted text #a3abbd, border rgba(255,255,255,0.08).
- Paper surface (light): background #f3f0ea, card #fbfaf7, text #0c0e14, muted text #4a4f5c, border rgba(12,14,20,0.12).
- Fonts:
- Display and body: Figtree (400, 500, 600, 700), falling back to ui-sans-serif, system-ui.
- Emphasis: Fraunces italic, for one or two words of a heading.
- Labels and code: JetBrains Mono (400, 500), uppercase labels with 0.14em tracking.
- Shape: radius 8 to 12px on cards and panels; pills may be fully round. Hairline borders, soft glow instead of heavy shadow.
- Motion: animate transform and opacity only; fast ease-out (cubic-bezier(0.16, 1, 0.3, 1)), 140ms for micro-interactions, 320 to 520ms for reveals.
Art and media
- Built from HTML, CSS and inline SVG only; no image files or video.
Props
- `name`: `string` (default "search_bookings"). The tool's name.
- `status`: `"success" | "error" | "running"` (default "success"). How the call went.
- `args`: `Record<string, string>`. The arguments, as key and value text.
- `result`: `string`. The result, as text.
- `accent`: `string` (default "blue"). The accent colour: blue, violet, emerald, amber, rose, or any CSS colour. It sets --app-accent on the root, so a parent can set it once for a whole screen.
- `className`: `string`. Merged with cn(); give it a width.
Behaviour and access
- Reduced motion: Nothing animates on its own.
- Keyboard: Every control is a native element in reading order.
- Screen readers: Semantic elements with accessible names; decorative marks are hidden.
- Touch: Targets are 36 px or larger; nothing depends on hover.
- Budget: about 0 KB of JavaScript, WebGL none, GPU none. It pauses while off screen.
Theming
Everything reads `--app-accent` (set by the `accent` prop, or by a parent) and the mode's tokens, so light and dark and any brand colour work without code changes. Pass a named accent or any CSS colour; Launchpad sets it once per app from the client's theme.
Usage
```tsx
import { ToolCallCard } from "@/components/vibebox/tool-call-card";
<ToolCallCard accent="#7c5cff" />
```
Notes
Add the VibeBox Motion Tool Call Card with `npx shadcn@latest add @vibebox/tool-call-card`. Stack one card per call, in order. Set the brand colour once with `--app-accent` on a parent (or the `accent` prop). It follows light and dark through the tokens; keep the licence header.
Rules
- Keep the licence header on every installed file.
- Original code only: do not copy components from other libraries, and do not add GSAP.
- Use tokens for colour, type and radius; no hard-coded brand values.
- Server Components by default; `"use client"` only for the island.Code
