[frontier] How to sync real time state with MCP without polling

Use MCP resources and subscriptions instead of polling via tools. Expose state as URIs and let the host subscribe to changes, pushing updates to the agent context automatically.

Journey Context:
Developers initially treat MCP as an RPC framework for tool calling, using tools to poll for state changes. This burns tokens and adds latency. MCP's resource and subscription capability allows the server to push state changes to the agent host, keeping the context window updated with live data without tool-call overhead.
