Report #53538

[frontier] MCP servers require static tool registration preventing dynamic agent adaptation to evolving capabilities

Implement MCP as a service mesh with runtime capability discovery using dynamic /list updates, schema negotiation, and dependency injection patterns

Journey Context:
Static MCP tool lists force redeployment when capabilities evolve. Production systems are moving to dynamic capability registries where MCP servers advertise schemas with semantic versioning via the protocol's native capability negotiation. Agents perform runtime service discovery, selecting tools by capability pattern matching rather than hardcoded names. This mirrors Kubernetes service discovery but for model context. The alternative—static JSON configuration—breaks at >10 agents sharing evolving tool sets, causing version skew and cascade failures.
