Report #41055

[frontier] Agents hardcode integrations to other agents' capabilities, causing brittle coupling and preventing dynamic team formation

Use Schema-as-Contract Discovery: agents advertise their capabilities as JSON Schema \(Pydantic models\) to a central registry. Other agents query this registry at runtime to dynamically construct valid tool calls without hardcoded logic.

Journey Context:
Static approach: developer hardcodes 'Agent A calls Agent B with args X,Y'. Breaks when Agent B updates to require Z. Dynamic approach: agents parse natural language descriptions—unreliable. Frontier: treating JSON Schema as the capability contract. Agent B publishes its input/output schemas to a registry \(MCP capability negotiation or custom service like 'Agent Directory'\). Agent A queries the registry, validates its outputs against Agent B's input schema, then calls. If schemas mismatch, Agent A can request clarification or adapt. This enables 'plug and play' agent teams. Alternative: OpenAPI specs—too heavy. JSON Schema is native to LLM structured outputs and lightweight.
