The main outcome of this crisis was that Germany became more isolated and the alliance between France and Britain became stronger. This was the exact opposite of what Germany hoped to do.
By sending the Pantherto Agadir, the Germans hoped to drive a wedge between the French and the British. They hoped to make that alliance weaker so that they would not have to worry so much about being opposed by a strong French-British (and perhaps Russian) alliance.
This had the effect of making Germany feel that it was more surrounded than it had been before. This German feeling of vulnerability helped lead to WWI.
