if you have a tool, with a modifier, the modifier doesn't show up in timeline as it isn't animated, it's simply feeding results to the parent control.
while those results 'animated' the value of the parent control, they aren't animated in a way that can have keys assigned to them, which is why value itself is blue not and not green. That control Has no keyfames.
The modifier will do what it does as it's most likely math, not keys, however... that being said, if you modifier has keys to control that math, then those will show up.
For instance, modify with shake. Set modifier key at frame 1 for smoothness to be 0, then at 100 to all 25 , then those two keys show up in timeline, as they are fixed key values.
Now, you can adjust the timing of when these modifiers start/stop or change their behavior, but not until you explicitly have something keyed that can be changed.
If you drag and drop the modifier into the spline view, you will see the associated curve from that formula.
If you want to tweak the formula results curve, then you would use the spline view to visualize that while changing your keys for that modifier.
Hope this helps.
