Review Comment:
   The Tool start is now written only after the durable result comes back, here 
and at `:258-259` (Python `tool_call_action.py:248-255`, `:293-294`). On 
`main`, `ToolCallAction.java:136-137` and `tool_call_action.py:169-171` write 
it before the call runs. I see why: reporting must run on the mailbox thread 
(`RunnerContextImpl.java:470`), and the tool can run on a worker.
   
   If a tool hangs (`tool-call.batch.timeout.ms` is off by default, 
`AgentExecutionOptions.java:93`) or the TaskManager dies mid-call, Agent Trace 
now has no Tool record for that call. On `main` it has the start record. Was 
keeping an early start record considered, with the real start time carried on 
the finish record? Or could the Agent Trace section (`monitoring.md:239-241`) 
say this in one sentence?

+For a locally observed input run, `inputRunLatencyMs` is split into queueing 
and processing time at the input-run start boundary. `numOfPendingInputEvents` 
counts buffered inputs, while `numOfActiveInputRuns` counts logical runs; an 
asynchronous run remains active while it is waiting for its continuation.
+
+An Action execution can be active while one of its continuation tasks is 
pending, so `numOfActiveActionExecutions` and `numOfPendingActionTasks` are 
independent. Action scheduling latency is recorded only for the initial task; 
continuation queueing does not create another scheduling sample.
+
+Input-run outcomes and all latency samples are process-local. Runs or Action 
executions already in flight when a task is restored do not produce latency 
samples because their original timestamps are unavailable. An input Event 
restored from the pending queue can still produce an outcome and 
processing-latency sample after it starts in the new task attempt, but it does 
not produce queue or end-to-end latency. Current-count gauges are rebuilt from 
Flink state after restore.
+
+#### Execution Metrics
+
+LLM and Tool outcome and latency metrics are derived from execution lifecycle 
Events. Each Tool callable records its own start and completion timestamps; its 
durable execution Outcome determines the reported result, including failures 
during result persistence. Events may be delivered after the parallel batch 
completes, but use each call's timestamps rather than the batch duration. Event 
publication is independent of response aggregation, so a later 
response-processing failure does not repeat or discard reports for calls with 
available Outcomes. The `model_resource`, `tool`, `skill`, and `mcp_server` 
scopes are independent key-value scopes directly under an Action; none is 
nested under another. The existing `model` scope remains dedicated to model 
usage metrics.

| The number of successful calls to the Tool. | Count |
+| **Tool** | action.\<action_name\>.tool.\<tool_name\>.numOfToolCallsFailed | 
The number of failed calls to the Tool. | Count |
+| **Tool** | action.\<action_name\>.tool.\<tool_name\>.toolCallLatencyMs | 
Time spent invoking the individual Tool, excluding time waiting for other calls 
in the same parallel batch. | Histogram |
+| **Skill** | action.\<action_name\>.skill.\<skill_name\>.numOfSkillLoads | 
The number of terminal explicit `load_skill` calls attributed to the Skill, 
regardless of outcome. | Count |
+| **Skill** | action.\<action_name\>.skill.\<skill_name\>.skillLoadLatencyMs | 
Time spent invoking an explicit `load_skill` call. | Histogram |
+| **MCP Server** | 
action.\<action_name\>.mcp_server.\<server_name\>.numOfMcpToolCallsSucceeded | 
The number of successful Tool calls served by the MCP Server. | Count |
+| **MCP Server** | 
action.\<action_name\>.mcp_server.\<server_name\>.numOfMcpToolCallsFailed | The 
number of failed Tool calls served by the MCP Server. | Count |
+| **MCP Server** | 
action.\<action_name\>.mcp_server.\<server_name\>.mcpToolCallLatencyMs | 
Individual Tool invocation latency aggregated across the MCP Server. | 
Histogram |
+
+An LLM metric represents one framework invocation of `ChatModel`. A framework 
retry that calls the model again produces another LLM outcome and latency 
sample; retries hidden inside a provider or connection are not observed. Every 
named Tool execution emits Tool metrics. Skill metrics are emitted only for 
explicit `load_skill` calls; subsequent Tool calls are not inferred to belong 
to a Skill. MCP metrics aggregate only Tool executions carrying an explicit MCP 
Server resource name. A `load_skill` or MCP Tool execution therefore 
contributes to both its Tool scope and the corresponding Skill or MCP Server 
scope.
+
+Execution metrics currently inherit Agent Trace's durable-replay behavior. 
During fine-grained recovery, a cached durable LLM or Tool result is reported 
as a new successful execution because child cache reuse is not exposed to 
execution reporting. The corresponding success counter therefore increments. A 
cached LLM result may produce a near-zero latency sample; a cached Tool result 
produces no latency sample because the Tool callable was not invoked and no 
execution duration was measured. Distinguishing reused child executions is 
follow-up work.
+
+Tool names that are not registered runtime resources are aggregated under the 
fixed `tool=unknown` scope. Requested Skill names that do not resolve in the 
runtime registry are similarly aggregated under `skill=unknown`. The original 
requested names remain available in Agent Trace records, while Metric scope 
cardinality remains bounded.
+
+Tool outcomes follow the existing language-specific Tool contracts. In both 
Java and Python, resource preparation, invocation, or durable 
result-persistence exceptions are failures. Java additionally treats an 
unsuccessful `ToolResponse` as a failed Tool execution. Python Tools return 
arbitrary values and currently have no equivalent explicit error-result type, 
so the runtime does not infer failure from a normally returned Python value 
when durable execution also succeeds.

Review Comment:
   This sentence is not true for Python's sequential path. There, 
`_record_call_completion` catches the persistence error and only logs a warning 
(`flink_runner_context.py:786-796`, reached from `:973` and `:1012`). The call 
is then reported as succeeded. Python uses that path for every single-call 
request (`tool_call_action.py:133`). Java and the Python parallel path do turn 
it into a failure (`RunnerContextImpl.java:644`, 
`flink_runner_context.py:1149-1150`). The runtime behavior is not new, only the 
sentence is. The clause at `:63` ("including failures during result 
persistence") has the same issue.
   
   Which fits better: scoping the sentence to Java and the Python parallel 
batch, or dropping the persistence clause in both places?

Review Comment:
   Yes, this fixes it. Each call now has its own start and finish time, on the 
parallel and sequential paths in both languages and on Java's serial fallback.
   
   One gap: no test checks that a call which finishes early reports its own 
finish time. If `tool_call_action.py:342` always used `result_observed_at`, a 
fast tool would report the batch's end again, and all 35 tests in 
`test_tool_call_action.py` would still pass. The success test only checks 
finish >= start (`test_tool_call_action.py:940-942`). Java's success test has 
the same `>=` check (`ToolCallActionReportTest.java:120-121`). Would it be 
worth adding a mocked-clock test with two parallel calls, where one finishes 
early, that asserts its finish is its own time rather than the batch time?
