What does nonstreaming mean?

• A. Deliver output tokens only at the moment the action finishes executing
• B. Outputs can be produced while executing
• C. It means there is no output
• D. It means inputs must be provided at the end

Answer: (A)

Nonstreaming means you don’t see partial results while the task is running; all output is produced only after the entire action finishes. The system buffers the work as it runs and then delivers the complete result in one shot when it’s done. This is different from streaming, where outputs can be produced incrementally as progress is made. So the description that matches nonstreaming is delivering output only at the moment the action finishes executing. It’s not about outputs appearing during execution, nor about having no output at all, nor about when inputs are provided.
