[Concept / Feature / Extension Idea] Agentic helper-expression generation & Client-sided local (callback) execution for live property adjustments

[ClemensSchartmueller]

Since I, in parallel, worked on a (much smaller) project that also returns agent-generated UI specs based on user prompts, I want to state the following proposal for discussion (and possibly refinement, if not outright-rejected). I purposely keep it relatively vague without going into implementation details in order to keep it short & the discussion on a high level initially, since it may introduce principle target use case incompatibilities with A2UI and thus cause a "desk reject", not warranting deeper investigation.

Use Case

As a developer, I want to be able to enable users to "live" preview the results of their UI interactions without requiring re-prompting the LLM for efficiency and UX, at least for simple transformations/calculations.

As a user, I want to be able to make fine-adjustments within the generated UI and receive feedback on them without delays. E.g. in an LLM-based color manipulator.

1. Initial prompt: "dark red"
2. Output: Multi-choice selector with color previews of 3 "dark red" variants
<user selects variant A>
3. Second prompt: "make it more saturated"
4. Output: Slider with saturation adjustment and live preview of saturation change of the chosen color (variant A) // <-- this requires either a specialized component, **or a generated callback function that is executed on the client-side**
<user plays around with the saturation slider and receives a live preview of the result>

Current limitations

The current protocol is limited to pre-defined components with built-in business logic (e.g. color saturation change of color in the above example) limiting user-defined actions to strongly pre-defined set OR a whole server<->client roundtrip with A2A messages etc. introducing potentially significant delays, especially as soon as the LLM is re-involved.

Extension Concept

1. Enable the (LLM) agent to generate expressions or functions with widget-specific parameters (e.g. slider min, max, position) by introducing the required protocol extensions, e.g. based on a python slang or pure math expressions
2. The functions are executed as a callback to the respective UI component's action (e.g. a slider and a slider position update) client-sided in a sandboxed logic interpreter / expression evaluator, such as python's asteval or simpleeval or typescript filtrex or similar
3. The respective UI component is updated purely client-sided with the function result (e.g. the color preview)

Benefits

This allows for much more flexible UIs with instant, client-side-computed previews, etc. which are particularly important for fine-tuning results, such as small percentage adjustments in relative changes (for colors: hue, saturation, vibrance, ..) or non-conforming input formats (e.g. a color preview requiring hex input but the user providing rgba in floating point).

Potential Risks

1. Security issues: expression/script evaluators come with the risk of suffering from security issues, e.g. expr-eval with CVE-2025-12735
2. Incompatibility with the target use case of the A2UI protocol
3. ...?

I am looking forward to your feedback, hopefully a discussion and will try to answer all potential questions.
