Why Invoke
AI agents fail in production in three specific ways:- Unknown outcomes — your agent calls
stripe.charge_customer, the connection drops. Did it succeed? Retrying blindly charges twice. - State drift — the customer record the agent resolved at plan time is stale by the time the write executes. Wrong entity gets touched.
- Duplicate retries — a lost response from a write-once API triggers a second side effect on replay.
How it works
Invoke intercepts every tool call and applies four controls:- Classify — labels the tool as idempotent, write-once, irreversible, or approval-bound
- Commit — writes a durable execution record before any side effect lands
- Reconcile — checks live state when an outcome is unknown, blocks retries if already succeeded
- Trace — returns structured proof of every decision, attempt, and policy gate
