Abstract: Large language model agents reuse execution experience to improve reliability on complex tool-based tasks. Systems such as Sentry call large models to generate failure diagnoses before retrieving advice, adding inference cost to experience reuse. We present Synapse-Control, an agent runtime whose lightweight control plane selects advice and determines when to send it to the task-executing model. Rules shortlist relevant advice, and a lightweight 1.7B classifier fine-tuned on teacher-labeled state-suggestion pairs scores those candidates instead of generating a diagnosis. Micro-contracts encode reusable interface checks, such as required arguments or valid options, without prescribing complete task programs. A Prompt Value Table records earlier guidance and feedback to limit repeated suggestions through cooldown and token-budget checks. Across 1,308 attempts per method in AppWorld and WebShop, Synapse-Control achieves 270 successes (29.8% more than Base), replaces 4,987 generative diagnosis calls, and reduces auxiliary control time relative to Sentry by 50.2% and 51.0%, respectively.
