​
Better Debuggability, Broader Model Reach

August 2026 focuses on making the IDE Agent easier to inspect when something goes wrong — a new structured logs panel, an MCP tool audit trail, and expanded reasoning-effort support across additional models.

​
New Features

​
Structured Logs Panel

Inspect Agent Runs Without Leaving the IDE

A new panel surfaces agent execution logs — tool calls, model responses, and errors — filtered by task.
The IDE Agent now ships a structured logs panel. Filter by severity, tool, or time range and copy the whole trace with a single Operation ID so support can reproduce your session end-to-end.

​
MCP Tool Audit Trail

See Every External Tool Call

Every MCP tool invocation is now logged with inputs, outputs, and duration.
The plugin records every MCP call the agent makes, so you can audit exactly which external tools ran, what they returned, and how long they took — visible in the new logs panel.

​
Expanded Reasoning-Effort Support

Reasoning-effort selection (introduced in July) now works with additional models, including Claude Sonnet 5 and GPT-5.6, giving you finer control over depth-vs-speed across more of your workflow.

​
Zencoder Agent CLI Update

The bundled zencli build now includes the July/August model updates and a faster startup path — cold starts are noticeably quicker on JetBrains.

​
Improvements

  • Copy Operation ID now available directly from any assistant message’s overflow menu
  • Debug logging toggle exposed in plugin settings without editing config files
  • JetBrains log viewer integration — Zencoder logs stream into the IDE’s Log tool window
  • Faster indexing for large monorepos on first open
  • Reduced memory footprint during long chat sessions

​
