A global manufacturing company is building a procurement assistant using the Anthropic Claude API.

The assistant can:
* query vendor databases,
* retrieve contract clauses,
* calculate approval thresholds,
* and generate purchase recommendations.

During pilot testing, the assistant frequently stops after retrieving only vendor pricing data, even when approval-policy validation is still required.

The engineering team wants the system to behave more autonomously while still maintaining predictable operational boundaries.

Which implementation BEST supports reliable agentic behavior?
