Report #51133

[frontier] Agents cannot discover capabilities of other agents dynamically without hardcoded configuration

Implement MCP Registry Pattern: treat MCP servers as capability registries where agents dynamically discover tools and resources via \`tools/list\` and \`resources/list\` with semantic filtering rather than static YAML configs

Journey Context:
Hardcoded tool lists require redeployment when agents add capabilities. Service meshes are too heavy for AI agents. The MCP spec's introspection endpoints allow runtime discovery. Agents query an MCP registry server to get capability manifests \(name, description, schema\) and register their own capabilities. This enables emergent multi-agent collaboration where agents find specialists dynamically. This replaces static 'agent graphs' with dynamic topologies.
