Report #75559

[architecture] Duplicate or conflicting side-effects when parallel agents invoke the same non-idempotent tool

Assign strict tool ownership per agent or implement distributed locks for non-idempotent tool executions.

Journey Context:
LLMs have no native transactional awareness. If two agents decide independently to update a database row or write a file, the result is unpredictable. Locking or exclusive tool ownership ensures that only one agent can execute a specific mutating action at a time, preventing data corruption and duplicate API calls.
