[frontier] Static tool definitions prevent agents from negotiating capabilities dynamically

Treat MCP servers as autonomous peers in an agent mesh, utilizing the \`sampling\` primitive for bidirectional LLM requests and \`resources\` for capability negotiation rather than unidirectional RPC

Journey Context:
Traditional tool calling assumes a strict client-server hierarchy where the agent is the only intelligent node. MCP's sampling capability allows servers to request LLM completions from the client, effectively enabling tools to have their own agentic sub-routines. This transforms the transport layer into a peer-to-peer agent mesh where capabilities are discovered and negotiated at runtime. Alternative was complex orchestration layers that recreated this functionality inside the client, losing the benefits of process isolation.
