When Tool Calls Succeed but Workflows Fail: Anomalies at the Agent-Tool Boundary
AI agents increasingly execute long-running workflows that externalize effects through independently supplied tools. Under retries, speculative execution, concurrency, and partial failures, the resulting external state may be inconsistent with the workflow's intended resolution: required effects may be missing or duplicated, aborted effects may survive, and committed effects may depend on…
