search-guided agents for multi-errand planning under tool failures

status: in progress

problem
when an ai assistant's tools fail (a lookup times out, a response comes back incomplete), can it still plan a workable route for several errands?
approach
compares an agent that plans with a* search and replans after errors against a react-style agent that calls tools step by step. everything runs offline against a frozen map and simulated tools, so experiments repeat.
measured
success rate, extra tool calls, and optimality gap under injected failure rates of 0%, 15%, and 30%.
outcome
experiments are still being set up. results will be posted here.
