Agent Optimization
Definition
Reducing delays caused by tool calls in agent workflows.
Explanation
Tool latency is often the bottleneck in agent pipelines. Optimization techniques include caching tool results, batching calls, parallel execution, pre-fetching, asynchronous workflows, and replacing slow tools with faster equivalents. Reducing latency improves UX, cost efficiency, and reliability.
Technical Architecture
Agent → Tool Router → Latency Optimizer → Tool Execution → Output
Core Component
Cache, parallel executor, async runner, pre-fetch engine
Use Cases
Agents with heavy tool use, analytics pipelines, customer-facing systems
Pitfalls
Caching stale results; parallel execution risks conflicts
LLM Keywords
Tool Latency, Agent Optimization, Async Tool Calls
