Report #97838

[agent\_craft] Agent takes many sequential turns to gather independent facts

Issue independent Read, Grep, Fetch, or Bash calls in the same response when they have no data dependencies. Execute them concurrently and synthesize results in the next turn.

Journey Context:
Sequential tool use multiplies latency and burns context on intermediate summaries. OpenAI and Anthropic APIs support parallel tool calls. The constraint is true independence: parallel calls cannot use each other's outputs. Best for reading several files, grepping multiple patterns, or running independent checks. Avoid when one call's result selects the next call's target.
