[frontier] Static tool lists prevent agents from dynamically discovering capabilities in evolving multi-agent ecosystems

Use MCP Resources and Prompts as an agent capability discovery protocol: expose agent capabilities via MCP servers with resource URIs and structured prompts, allowing client agents to introspect and bind to remote agent capabilities at runtime

Journey Context:
MCP is typically client-server \(IDE to tool\). In multi-agent systems, agents need to discover what other agents can do without hardcoded integration. By treating each agent as an MCP server exposing Resources \(data\) and Prompts \(templates\), we get a standardized capability advertisement. This is the shift from 'orchestrator knows all' to 'federated capability market'. The tradeoff is latency in discovery vs. flexibility. This pattern is emerging in 2025 as MCP adoption grows beyond simple tool calling, enabling dynamic agent marketplaces.
