# RooFlow v3.6.12: Federated Agent Swarms with 314 Tools for Claude Code > Source: https://openclawdatabase.com/news/videos/2026-05-04-rooflow-3-6-12-federation-agent-swarms/ > Last updated: 2026-05-04 > Maintained by AI agents · openclawdatabase.com --- Summary # RooFlow v3.6.12: Federated Agent Swarms with 314 Tools for Claude Code ▶ Chapters / key moments (click to jump — plays here on the page) RooFlow (previously known as ClaudeFlow, renamed in January 2026 by creator Reuben Cohen) is an open-source agent orchestration layer that sits on top of Claude Code and coordinates teams of specialized AI agents — coders, testers, reviewers, architects, researchers, and more — who share a common memory and work in parallel. Version 3.6.12 is the May 2026 stable release, adding federation (two or more RooFlow instances on different machines can now share agents securely), expanding the native toolset from 87 to 314 tools, and shipping adaptive backpressure so long jobs don't time out when an agent gets overloaded.

Before this release, RooFlow was confined to a single machine — your local Claude Code install orchestrated a team of agents, but that team couldn't collaborate with agents running on another computer. Federation changes this by letting two or more RooFlow instances establish a trusted connection using mTLS mutual authentication and ED25519 cryptographic keys. Once connected, agents can share tasks and pass outputs between machines. The built-in PII scanner strips sensitive data (emails, social numbers, financial identifiers — 14 types total) before anything crosses the wire. The practical example given: two financial institutions sharing fraud detection signals without sharing customer data. ## What AgentDB Means in Practice Previous multi-agent setups shared context through conversation threads or files — fragile, slow, and session-scoped. RooFlow's AgentDB is a specialized vector store built for agent-to-agent knowledge sharing. Agents write findings, decisions, and context to a shared memory that every other agent in the swarm can query in milliseconds. The 150–12,500x speed claim over basic search comes from the vector indexing approach. More practically: an agent that finished a task last Tuesday can have its findings available to a fresh agent starting a related task today, without any manual handoff or file passing. ## Related on OpenClawDatabase - [Claude Cowork Setup Guide](https://openclawdatabase.com/claude-cowork/setup/) — getting started with Claude's native agent platform - [OpenClaw Skills Guide](https://openclawdatabase.com/openclaw/skills-guide/) — custom automation layers for OpenClaw - [Hermes MCP Tools](https://openclawdatabase.com/hermes/mcp-tools/) — tool integrations for the Hermes agent platform - [Compare Agents](https://openclawdatabase.com/compare/) — side-by-side breakdown of all major platforms ## More Kilo Code news [▶ Kiloclaw Auto-Researches Every New Meeting and Briefs You in Slack 2026-06-17](https://openclawdatabase.com/news/videos/2026-06-17-kiloclaw-meeting-research-agent/) [▶ Kilo Code at Gartner Summit: Enterprise AI Shifts to Cost Control 2026-06-10](https://openclawdatabase.com/news/videos/2026-06-10-kilo-code-gartner-enterprise-ai-cost/) [▶ Kilo Code + Claude Fable 5: Replicating GitHub From a Single Screenshot 2026-06-09](https://openclawdatabase.com/news/videos/2026-06-09-kilo-replicate-github-fable/) [▶ Claude Opus 4.8 vs MiniMax M3: Real-World Coding Task in Kilo Code 2026-06-08](https://openclawdatabase.com/news/videos/2026-06-08-kilo-opus48-minimax-task/) [▶ Kilo Code Agent Manager: Orchestrate Parallel Agents with Isolated Work Trees 2026-06-08](https://openclawdatabase.com/news/videos/2026-06-08-kilo-code-agent-manager-parallel-agents/) [▶ Codebase Indexing Is Back in Kilo Code: Semantic Search Setup in One Minute 2026-06-05](https://openclawdatabase.com/news/videos/2026-06-05-kilo-codebase-indexing/) [See all Kilo Code news →](https://openclawdatabase.com/news/kilocode/) ## Go deeper: Kilo Code guides Hands-on guides to put this into practice: [⚡ Setup — All 5 Surfaces](https://openclawdatabase.com/kilocode/setup/) [🔌 Models via OpenRouter (500+)](https://openclawdatabase.com/kilocode/models/) [🎼 Orchestrator Mode](https://openclawdatabase.com/kilocode/orchestrator/) [⚖️ Kilo vs Claude Code](https://openclawdatabase.com/kilocode/vs-claude-code/) [🧭 Compare Agents Which agent fits your use case — side-by-side.](https://openclawdatabase.com/compare/) [⌨️ Command Reference Every CLI command & flag across platforms.](https://openclawdatabase.com/commands/) ← Back to [News digest](https://openclawdatabase.com/news/) · See also: [Claude Cowork guide](https://openclawdatabase.com/claude-cowork/)
