If the agents have common sense, they can use their common sense to broker capabilities among themselves, but that is begging the question because we don't have commonsense AGI yet. A more interesting possibility is whether we can spawn a large number of very *weak* intelligent agents over the net, who don't have common sense, and let commonsense emerge out of them. It seems possible, but we'll need to design distributive algorithms for reasoning, especially distributive deduction...
