+    Network-call hygiene inside LangChain tool functions. A tool that makes a

+    explanation: >
+      This LangChain tool performs a Requests HTTP call without a finite
+      timeout, so it can remain blocked when an upstream service or network
+      fails to respond. The tool invocation cannot complete while the request
+      waits, which consumes worker and runtime resources and prevents the
+      agent step from finishing. A kwarg present with literal None counts as
+      missing.
+    fix: >
+      Configure an explicit finite Requests timeout appropriate to the
+      upstream service's latency and SLA, and handle timeout failures as a
+      structured tool error the model can react to rather than letting the
+      call remain blocked.
