Report #53132

[frontier] Agent polls APIs repeatedly causing latency and stale state in MCP tool servers

Use MCP resources/subscribe to establish long-lived stateful connections where the server pushes updates to the agent, eliminating polling loops

Journey Context:
Polling creates unnecessary token consumption and stale context. REST tool calling is stateless. The 2025 MCP spec adds pub/sub capabilities where agents subscribe to resources \(filesystems, databases\) and receive real-time notifications. This replaces manual polling loops with event-driven architecture, cutting latency from seconds to milliseconds.
