The study investigates how different message formats affect the fidelity of information as it passes through multiple LLM agent relays. Using a controlled testbed, the authors encode twelve atomic facts in five formats (free natural language, precision‑instructed NL, JSON, triples, key‑value) across six hops and evaluate recall against programmatic ground truth. Results show that strong relays maintain near‑lossless recall for all formats, while weaker relays exhibit significant format‑dependent recall loss, and that any injected error is faithfully propagated across all formats without causing collateral damage.

Nexus introduces a depth‑adaptive KV‑cache splicing and retrieval‑decoupled tool routing mechanism for agentic large language models that reduces the time‑to‑first‑token (TTFT) by decoupling tool routing from the expensive schema re‑encoding step. It uses an INT8 semantic lookaside buffer to select tools via retrieval and generates arguments from a compressed textual signature, maintaining about 89% routing accuracy even as the tool registry scales to 250 tools. Additionally, Nexus can splice compiled schema KV blocks into the live context, repairing the seam with a depth‑adaptive suffix redecode when rotary position embedding drift exceeds a threshold, ensuring output fidelity while achieving up to 1.7× TTFT speedup at moderate depth.
