Report #100355
[frontier] All tool execution happens server-side, creating latency and trust bottlenecks
Push appropriate tools to the client via MCP local servers so sensitive operations \(file reads, git commands, browser control\) run on the user's machine while the orchestrator stays remote.
Journey Context:
The default cloud-agent pattern sends every observation to a remote server, which is slow for local file access and risky for sensitive data. MCP enables the opposite: the orchestrator can discover and call tools exposed by a local process. The winning pattern is a hybrid topology where reasoning and planning live remotely, but high-bandwidth or private tools run locally. The wrong assumption is that 'local' means less capable; for many coding tasks it is the only acceptable architecture.
