 # Changelog
 
+## 2026-01-20 - 1.6.0 - feat(smartagent)
+record native tool results in message history by adding optional toolName to continueWithNativeTools and passing tool identifier from DualAgent
+
+- continueWithNativeTools(message, toolName?) now accepts an optional toolName; when provided the message is stored with role 'tool' and includes a toolName property (cast to ChatMessage)
+- DualAgent constructs a toolNameForHistory as `${proposal.toolName}_${proposal.action}` and forwards it to continueWithNativeTools in both normal and error flows
+- Preserves tool-origin information in the conversation history to support native tool calling and tracking
+
 ## 2026-01-20 - 1.5.4 - fix(driveragent)
 prevent duplicate thinking/output markers during token streaming and mark transitions
