The object tool is a debugging tool that displays extended dynamic information concerning one or several objects while debugging an application. This information includes the value of all their attributes, as well as the values of the once functions that have already been called.
The object tool is a debugging tool that displays extended dynamic information about runtime objects while debugging an application. This information includes the values of attributes, as well as the values of <code>once</code> functions that have already been called.
By default it is composed of one grid, which gives information about the [[Call stack tool|current stack element]]. Namely, it provides the Current object value, the arguments' values of the current stack element's feature call, the values of the local variables, as well as the value of the Result (if this feature is a function).

All objects can be expanded to see the value of their attributes. They are also pickable, so that it is possible to drop them onto the '''objects tool''', an [[Expression evaluation|expression evaluator tool]] (alias Watch tools), or an editor.
