[frontier] Hardcoding agent tool endpoints breaks when tools update or new agents are added

Use Model Context Protocol \(MCP\) servers as a dynamic service discovery layer. Agents query MCP tools/list at runtime to discover available capabilities and schemas, rather than relying on static tool definitions baked into the system prompt.

Journey Context:
Initially, MCP was seen as a standardized way to give models tools. The frontier use is dynamic capability discovery. As environments change or new micro-agents spin up, they register with an MCP server. Agents adapt without prompt rewrites, decoupling the agent's knowledge of how to use a tool from what tools exist in the current environment.
