Could you build this?
No Compiling natural language intent into a deterministic, verifiable DAG of tool invocations requires deep compiler design and formal systems engineering that LLMs cannot reliably self-architect.
What it would actually take: The architecture involves an intermediate representation (IR) compiler that parses agent intent, performs static dependency analysis, checks for cycles and preconditions, and executes tasks deterministically. The hard parts are defining the formal execution graph semantics, type validation across steps, and building deterministic runtime guards against non-deterministic LLM tool outputs. It requires expertise in compiler design, distributed workflow orchestration, and formal verification.
