Report #62255

[agent\_craft] Agent blocks on independent API calls or executes dependent tools in wrong order causing race conditions

Analyze tool dependencies using a DAG \(Directed Acyclic Graph\) where edges represent data dependencies \(output of tool A is input to tool B\). Execute leaf nodes in parallel using asyncio.gather\(\), then cascade results up the graph. For side-effect-heavy chains \(e.g., database writes\), enforce sequential execution regardless of independence to maintain consistency.

Journey Context:
Naive agents call tools sequentially, adding latency for independent operations \(e.g., fetching GitHub issues \+ Slack status\). Parallelizing blindly causes errors when tool B needs tool A's result \(e.g., create branch → push commit\). The DAG approach maximizes throughput while respecting dataflow. Critical for build/test agents where speed matters. Tradeoff: requires static analysis of tool schemas to build the graph at runtime.
