# Agent Intermediate Steps Streaming

This example demonstrates how to stream intermediate steps during agent execution, providing visibility into tool calls and execution events.

## Code

```python intermediate_steps.py theme={null}
from typing import Iterator

from agno.agent import Agent, RunOutputEvent
from agno.models.openai import OpenAIChat
from agno.tools.duckduckgo import DuckDuckGoTools
from rich.pretty import pprint

agent = Agent(
    model=OpenAIChat(id="gpt-5-mini"),
    tools=[DuckDuckGoTools(stock_price=True)],
    markdown=True,
)

run_stream: Iterator[RunOutputEvent] = agent.run(
    "What is the stock price of NVDA", stream=True, stream_events=True
)
for chunk in run_stream:
    pprint(chunk.to_dict())
    print("---" * 20)
```
