No. 01
Dedupe / Idempotency
Action identity + ledgered attempts prevent double-writes under retries.
RUNWAYCTRL
Agent-speed tool calls break human-speed reliability.
Retries + concurrency turn partial failures into duplicate side effects.
RunwayCtrl wraps tool calls with action identity, an attempt ledger, retry budgets, and concurrency leases so agent runs stay idempotent, bounded, and reconstructible.
Framework-neutral. Works at the tool boundary.
Built for retries, rate limits, and thundering herds.
v.01 / Tool Execution Governance
01 / Contract
Core guarantees for production agents
Safe tool execution under partial failure.
Mode: Experimental • Policy: Enforce • Ledger: Enabled • Tracing: Enabled
02 / PRIMITIVES
Execution primitives
A small set of primitives that keep tool execution safe under partial failure.
CORE
Attempt Ledger
A ground-truth record of every tool attempt—inputs, outcomes, retries, and side effects.
IDENTITY
Action Identity
Stable action keys that make tool calls idempotent and dedupable across retries.
RETRIES
Retry Budgets
Govern retries with budgets, backoff, and jitter, prevent retry storms and self-DDoS.
CONCURRENCY
Leases & Quotas
Bound concurrency with leases to prevent races and conflicting remediations.
EXPLAINABILITY
Run Reconstruction
Replay and explain runs from the attempt ledger—know exactly what happened, and why.
OBSERVABILITY
OTel Tracing
Emit traces/metrics/logs that tie back to ledger truth—debug with standard tooling.
03 / Use Cases
Where RunwayCtrl runs first
Real-world systems where tool execution reliability actually matters.
INCIDENT ORCHESTRATION
Prevent duplicate incidents and escalation loops when agents retry under rate limits and timeouts. RunwayCtrl enforces action identity, retry budgets, and an auditable attempt ledger for postmortems.
Prevents: duplicate incidents, escalation loops.
Starts with PagerDuty.
PR AUTOMATION
Ship safe GitHub write-actions for agent workflows—comments, labels, status checks, and merges—without double-posting or racing updates. Every attempt is recorded and traceable.
Prevents: duplicate comments, double merges, conflicting labels.
Starts with GitHub.
DEPLOYMENT PIPELINES
Guard multi-step releases against partial failure: retries are governed, concurrency is bounded, and side effects are deduped—so your automation can't trigger the same deploy twice.
Prevents: repeat deploy triggers, rollback storms.
WORKFLOW EXECUTION
Run reliable long-lived agent workflows with governance at the tool boundary: leases, budgets, and an attempt ledger you can replay—so "what happened?" is always answerable..
Prevents: races, non-reconstructible runs.
04 / Integrations
Works where agents actually work
Starting with PagerDuty, GitHub, ServiceNow, and Jira. More soon.
GitHub
Safe PR/issue automation—comments, labels, status checks—with bounded concurrency and traceable attempts.
ServiceNow
Prevent duplicate incidents and unsafe updates.
Jira
Prevent duplicate issues and conflicting workflow updates.
PagerDuty
Govern incident creation + updates with dedupe, retry budgets, and a full attempt ledger.
Next: Slack and more.
05 / Context
Execution, with receipts
Every attempt is recorded with identity, policy decisions, timing, and outcome—so runs are reconstructible, not mysterious.
action_id:pagerduty.create_incident.a7f2c
policy:max_attempts=3, timeout=30s
attempt:1/3
timing:started=2025-06-10T14:23:41Z, duration=1.2s
outcome:success
trace_id:trace_a7f2c_2025_06_10
Reconstructible runs. No black boxes.
