[frontier] Using MCP solely as synchronous tool-calling RPC limits agent capability

Leverage MCP resource and prompt primitives for asynchronous state synchronization and environment bootstrapping. Expose shared state as MCP Resources that agents can subscribe to or poll, rather than constantly querying via tools.

Journey Context:
Early MCP adopters treat it like standard function calling—just triggering actions. But MCP defines Resources \(contextual data\) and Prompts \(reusable templates\). By exposing application state as Resources, agents can read the current state of the world without hallucinating or requiring a tool call to fetch it. This decouples the agent's awareness from its actions, reducing tool-call latency and improving reliability.
