 ### Terminal Operations
@@ -234,8 +283,33 @@ Core platform features organized into namespaces:
     -   Opens a save dialog and writes the content. Returns the saved file path or null if canceled
 
 -   **getCurrentTheme()**: Promise<"light" | "dark">
+
     -   Returns the current UI theme setting
 
+-   **executeParallel(...operations)**: Promise<T[]>
+
+    -   Executes multiple async operations in parallel using Promise.all
+    -   Accepts promises or functions that return promises as variadic arguments
+    -   Returns an array of results in the same order as the operations
+    -   Example:
+        ```typescript
+        const [account, contact, opportunities] = await toolboxAPI.utils.executeParallel(
+            dataverseAPI.retrieve('account', id1),
+            dataverseAPI.retrieve('contact', id2),
+            dataverseAPI.fetchXmlQuery(fetchXml)
+        );
+        ```
+
+-   **showLoading(message?: string)**: Promise<void>
+
+    -   Displays a loading overlay with spinner in the tool's context
+    -   Optional message parameter (defaults to "Loading...")
+    -   Example: `await toolboxAPI.utils.showLoading('Fetching records...');`
+
+-   **hideLoading()**: Promise<void>
+    -   Hides the loading overlay
+    -   Should be called in a finally block to ensure it's always hidden

 #### Terminal
 
 -   **create(options: TerminalOptions)**: Promise<Terminal>
