Report #45741

[frontier] How do I maximize throughput when my agent needs to call multiple tools that have data dependencies between them?

Model tool calls as a Directed Acyclic Graph \(DAG\) where nodes are tool invocations and edges are data dependencies; use LangGraph's \`Send\` API to dynamically dispatch parallel nodes and \`Command\` to join results when dependencies resolve. Execute independent branches in parallel \(e.g., fetch weather \+ fetch user profile simultaneously\), then feed both results into a dependent node \(e.g., generate recommendation\).

Journey Context:
Standard ReAct agents call tools sequentially, wasting latency on independent I/O. Simple parallel calling \(Promise.all\) fails when tool B needs output from tool A. The DAG approach treats orchestration like a build system \(make/Bazel\). Alternatives like static workflow definitions \(Airflow\) lack the dynamicism needed for agentic branching. This pattern matters because it can reduce 3-second sequential calls to 1-second parallel calls while maintaining data consistency.
