Report #46822

[frontier] Hard-coded tool schemas causing failure when remote agent capabilities change

Implement Agent2Agent \(A2A\) protocol: agents exchange capability cards \(AgentCard\) at runtime, negotiate task parameters dynamically, and stream results via SSE

Journey Context:
MCP is for tools; A2A is for agent-to-agent delegation. Instead of static OpenAPI specs, A2A lets agents advertise their skills \(Agent Cards\) and negotiate task details at runtime. This enables 'agent marketplaces' where you don't hardcode integrations; the hiring agent discovers capabilities, hands off a task via push notifications, and receives streaming updates. This handles versioning gracefully—if a remote agent upgrades, the local agent detects capability changes via the card refresh.
