Parameters

Name	In	Type	Required	Description
session_id	path	string	Yes	Path parameter session_id
event_deltas[]	query	string[]	No	When set, this connection also receives streaming deltas (`event_start`, `event_delta`) while an event is being produced, before the event itself arrives. Deltas are best-effort; when the final event is produced it carries the complete content. A model request that ends early (an error or interrupt) produces no final event — its terminal `span.model_request_end` closes the preview. Accepts one or more event types to preview and may be repeated: `agent.message` streams `content_delta` fragments; `agent.thinking` is start-only — a signal that the agent has begun extended thinking, concluded by the `agent.thinking` event itself. Only previews of the requested event types are sent.
