Report #35729

[frontier] MCP tools polling instead of receiving real-time updates

Implement MCP resource subscriptions with listChanged notifications to push updates to agents instead of polling tools

Journey Context:
Polling creates latency and wastes tokens on stale context. The 2025-03-26 MCP spec introduces subscriptions where servers notify clients of resource changes via JSON-RPC notifications. Implement this by subscribing to URIs in the client and handling the notifications to update agent context without prompt engineering. This eliminates race conditions in multi-step tool workflows.
