# API tool response time in the Conversation View

The **Conversation View** now shows how long your API tools take to respond.

When an API tool is slow, the conversation shows it. A response that takes more than 1 second is marked with the time it took. If several API tools run in one turn, the total appears at the top of that turn. Open a tool's details to see the time for every response, fast or slow.

Only the time spent waiting for your API is counted. This helps you see when a slow API is behind a slow conversation, and gives your team a clear number to work from.

## Who this affects

Every AI Agent that uses API tools. Response times are available for conversations from September 22, 2026 onward. Code tools and MCP tools do not show a response time.

See [API tool response time](/docs/optimization/conversations#api-tool-response-time) for where each time appears.
