Builder to be able to control the list/table display in tool outputs

Typically 3rd party app data model have a lot of data points when only a subset of those are relevant in a given context for a given persona / workflow.

Also only a subset can be displayed to make a decent UX (especially on mobiles).

So we need builders to be able to set the list and order of columns to show for a given skill output.

This is already possible within the interface builder for workflow user tasks in Skil Studio, we need to make it available for all skills in AI Assistants.

    The path forward is agents where instructions can train the LLM to customize the output of the tools, including, list/order/header of columns.

    Quick powerful & flexible: for example can also ask to dynamically combine column into one (First name/ last name ==> full name, format phone numbers / dates, sum numbers of 2 columns...). |

    And all in no-code / natural language / plain English (or your own language).
