Tool Concurrency Auditor
Software componentObservability & EvaluationObservability & Evaluationarc:ToolConcurrencyAuditor
An auditing component that correlates tool invocations across agents through shared trace IDs to detect simultaneous invocations of tools modifying the same shared resource.
Responsibility. Detects multi-agent race conditions on shared tools from correlated traces.
Also known as: Concurrency-aware auditing
Relationships
Design guidance
- SHOULD surface concurrent invocations of shared-resource tools so locks, transactions or conflict resolution can be applied.
Classification
- Patterns
- Distributed trace correlation
- Technologies
- OpenTelemetry
- Quality attributes
- Reliability (ISO/IEC 25010 | NIST AI RMF: valid and reliable)
- Risks mitigated
- Race conditions on shared resources (e.g., two agents reserving the last hotel room)
