Report #45041

[frontier] How do I enable real-time intervention and visualization of AI agent reasoning without waiting for complete JSON responses?

Use Vercel AI SDK's \`streamObject\` to stream partial JSON schemas during generation, allowing UI to render intermediate steps and human operators to abort or redirect agents mid-stream.

Journey Context:
Traditional agents wait for complete JSON output before acting, creating latency and preventing human oversight. Streaming structured output parses partial JSON as it's generated \(using JSONPath or similar\). This enables: \(1\) real-time agent thought visualization \(showing which tool it's selecting before it executes\), \(2\) guardrails that trigger mid-generation if the agent goes off-track, and \(3\) progressive UI updates without waiting for full generation. This is critical for high-stakes agent workflows requiring human-in-the-loop approval before tool execution.
