Report #101563

[agent\_craft] Agent chains independent tool calls sequentially, inflating latency and turns

Fire independent tool calls in parallel in one turn; return results keyed by tool\_call\_id.

Journey Context:
If the model needs to read three files or call three unrelated APIs, doing them one at a time triples round-trips. OpenAI and Anthropic both support parallel tool use: the model emits multiple calls, you execute them concurrently, and feed the results back together. Only serialize when a later call truly depends on an earlier result.
