Stage 4: Governed Tool Use at Scale

Where most real-world agent failures happen. CAF takes this seriously.

Task

Let agents invoke expensive, stateful, or dangerous tools under proactive policy enforcement.

Why This Matters

Scaling inference is easy—LLM calls are stateless. Scaling tool use is hard because tools have side effects, consume scarce resources, and can cause real-world harm. This is where safety and cost control matter most.
