Report #61548

[architecture] Agents interfering with each other by calling the same external API or tool concurrently \(e.g., deleting a file another agent is reading\)

Assign tools exclusively to agents based on domain boundaries, or implement API-level resource isolation \(e.g., working directories, scoped credentials\).

Journey Context:
Giving all agents access to all tools leads to non-deterministic behavior and side-effect conflicts. If Agent A and Agent B both have a delete\_file tool and operate on the same workspace, they will step on each other. Bounded Contexts from Domain-Driven Design apply here: an agent should only own the tools for its specific domain, ensuring mutual exclusion over side-effecting resources.
