Error message

Tool action request was already consumed

What it means

Idempotency guard in executeApprovedAgentInvocation: the compare-and-set from approved to executing matched no rows, meaning another executor already consumed this approval (or it was resolved otherwise) and the wait-for-settlement fallback also found it neither executed nor failed. The request was already consumed and cannot run twice.
