Typed Federated Artifacts for the Agentic Web:Sharing Tool-Routing Knowledge Across Frozen,Heterogeneous LLM Agents

An open, networked web will allow agents to run frozen models from multiple vendors, keep their history private, and teach each other which tool to call and when. Flat text (prompts, example pools) makes it difficult for the protocol to distinguish between noise statistics, merging rules, and documentation. Weights and adapters cannot transfer that knowledge between platforms. We suggest sharing typed federated artifacts, schema-validated objects with well-defined fields for per-field privacy (described here, but measured), dispute resolution, and cross-model transfer, and instantiating them as SYNAPSE1, a common tool-routing knowledge. After deleting 192 garbage entries and 1,916 training items that duplicate or almost duplicate test queries, a federated compendium routes within 1.1 points of a centralized one at 20 MB of JSON per client each round on StableToolBench (3,180 tools). The same experience merged and shown to the router as typed fields rather than one flat string is worth 8.5 points on clean data and 7.4 under 60% injected contradiction. Crossing merge and rendering shows the halves are inseparable (the typed merge shown flat is the worst arm), while three conflict policies are indistinguishable, so the conflict log that motivated this work is not the On τ-bench retail, each compendium arm improves GPT-4o agents' per-step tool-call accuracy by at least 6.7 points, attributed to format rather than federated experience. Two cautionary findings conclude the paper: on a topic-labeled math proxy and StableToolBench, a TF-IDF classifier over the same labeled experience beats every LLM routing arm (by 48 and 26 points, mostly retrieval recall) because the benchmark's pool holds labeled queries for every supposedly unseen tool and every test query verbatim before our filter. It cannot measure routing to tools without labels, which routing exists for.
