MuleSoft vs. Boomi: Tool definition and error handling compared

This article compares how MuleSoft and Boomi handle the definition and error reporting for a specific tool called `get_goods_receipt`. MuleSoft defines tools as explicit artifacts within a flow, while Boomi generates them from API definitions. A key difference lies in how schemas are managed: MuleSoft embeds them directly, whereas Boomi relies on OpenAPI specifications. Both platforms face an open question regarding how business errors, like `GR_MISSING`, are consistently reported back to the agent with an `isError: true` flag, which is crucial for proper agent execution.
