Report #54501

[agent\_craft] Agent executes parallel tool calls, but the interleaved results fragment the logical chain of thought, causing the agent to confuse which output belongs to which input

Group parallel tool calls logically, and enforce strict matching of tool result IDs to the tool call IDs. If the reasoning steps are highly dependent, force sequential execution despite the latency cost.

Journey Context:
Parallel execution saves time but breaks the linear narrative the LLM relies on. If Call A and Call B are independent, parallel is fine. If Call B depends on Call A's output, or if evaluating them together requires complex synthesis, the LLM might conflate the results. The tradeoff is latency vs. reasoning coherence.
