I use M-x shell to run all sorts of tools. It seems it doesn't flush at all; for instance if a command makes output and asks a prompt; I do not see ANY output in the comint buffer at all. If I answer the prompts (by magically knowing what's being requested), the tools run properly.

Is there anything to be done?

Unfortunately, no. Some program has an opinion “-i”, e.g. node -i and python -i, which may be useful.
