[agent\_craft] How do I handle multiple tool calls returned in one assistant message?

Execute each call in parallel, then return every result as a separate tool/function result message keyed by the original \`tool\_call\_id\` or \`tool\_use\_id\`. Do not merge results into one message and do not omit any calls, even if one fails. Order does not matter, but ID matching does.

Journey Context:
OpenAI and Anthropic models can emit multiple independent tool uses in a single turn, for example reading several files at once. If the agent handles only the first call or collapses results, the model loses the parallel signal and may serialize everything, increasing latency. The APIs require a result entry per ID; missing IDs cause validation errors on the next turn.
