Curious – can you elaborate, what [julia-mcp](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/ann-julia-mcp-persistent-julia-sessions-for-ai-assistants/135386) behavior you mean here? It doesn’t hide anything – raw Julia code is its input, raw Julia output becomes julia-mcp output. Then it’s completely up to your AI harness on how/where exactly it decides to display it.  
If there’s something that can be done better, we can of course improve julia-mcp design 🙂
