Report #51296

[frontier] Tool integrations are brittle and agents cannot dynamically discover new capabilities

Adopt MCP \(Model Context Protocol\) as the service mesh layer; expose every capability as an MCP server with standardized capability advertisements \(tools, resources, prompts\), and implement an MCP registry with health checks allowing agents to bind to capabilities by semantic type rather than hardcoded endpoint

Journey Context:
Hardcoding OpenAPI specs or function definitions into agent prompts creates tight coupling. When APIs change, agents break. The discovery phase is often skipped in favor of static tool lists. MCP provides an ABI \(Application Binary Interface\) layer. By treating tools as microservices in a mesh, agents can negotiate capabilities, handle versioning gracefully, and fallback to alternative providers when primary MCP servers fail. This shifts integration from code changes to runtime discovery.
