Report #39180

[frontier] Agent-to-agent communication relies on fragile HTTP wrappers that break schema contracts

Use MCP's sampling capability to invoke other agents as 'models' with strict JSON schema contracts, leveraging native structured output validation

Journey Context:
Custom HTTP APIs between agents suffer from version drift and lack type safety. MCP's sampling protocol allows Agent A to request a 'completion' from Agent B with a specific JSON schema, effectively treating agents as functions. This provides built-in cancellation, progress callbacks, and schema validation without custom middleware. Unlike simple tool calling, sampling creates a bidirectional RPC layer where the 'model' can be another agent or a human-in-the-loop.
