Report #47072

[frontier] Agents fail to compose capabilities because they cannot discover other agents' tools dynamically

Treat peer agents as MCP servers by exposing their capabilities via MCP tool schemas, enabling dynamic capability discovery through the standard protocol instead of hardcoded API contracts

Journey Context:
Hardcoding agent-to-agent calls creates tight coupling. Generic 'orchestrator' patterns become bottlenecks. The fix is treating every agent as an MCP server that exposes its tools via the standard protocol. This creates a capability mesh where agents discover peers by URI and invoke capabilities through the same interface they use for tools. This is only becoming possible now as MCP server implementations mature beyond simple calculators. It replaces brittle orchestration with dynamic, late-bound composition.
