## What it is
tokio-console is a diagnostics and debugging tool for asynchronous Rust programs built on Tokio and tracing. It streams task-level diagnostic data over a gRPC wire protocol and displays it in an interactive terminal UI, like top(1) for async tasks.

## Use cases
- debug why my tokio task is blocked or hanging
- monitor async tasks in a rust application like top
- find tasks that are stuck awaiting in tokio
- inspect long-running async tasks in a rust service
- view task waker and poll statistics for tokio
- troubleshoot slow async rust programs

## When to choose
- you build applications with Tokio and tracing and need visibility into async task behavior
- you want a live, interactive terminal view of task states, durations, and wakers
- you want to build custom diagnostic tooling on an open gRPC wire protocol

## When to avoid
- your application does not use Tokio or the tracing ecosystem
- you need heap profiling or CPU flamegraphs rather than task-level diagnostics
- you need a GUI or web-based dashboard out of the box
