Report #36781

[frontier] Agents appear frozen during long-running tool execution \(APIs, SQL queries\), causing user abandonment

Implement MCP streaming for tools, yielding partial results or progress updates every 100ms to maintain agent responsiveness

Journey Context:
Synchronous tool calls block the agent loop for minutes. Streaming JSON deltas via MCP allows agents to process intermediate results, update users on progress, or even cancel long operations.
