Report #62954

[architecture] Multiple agents call external APIs concurrently without coordination, hitting rate limits or creating conflicting side-effects

Centralize side-effecting tool execution through a single orchestrator or a dedicated execution queue, rather than allowing all agents to act directly on the external environment.

Journey Context:
Giving every agent direct API access is fast to prototype but creates a distributed system nightmare for idempotency, rate limits, and dependency ordering. By routing all mutations through a single execution agent or a deterministic queue, you gain natural serialization, easier retries, and centralized rate limit tracking, trading raw parallel speed for systemic reliability.
