Report #54579

[frontier] MCP tool definitions hardcode agent-to-agent dependencies causing deployment rigidity

Deploy an MCP Router server that dynamically exposes other agents as discoverable resources using the 2025 MCP specification's \`roots\` and \`sampling\` primitives, enabling runtime agent marketplaces without code changes

Journey Context:
Static tool registration in JSON configs forces redeployment when adding agents. The router pattern treats agents as first-class MCP servers, delegating via the protocol itself rather than function calls. Tradeoff: adds 150-300ms latency for capability negotiation, but enables polyglot swarms \(Go agents calling Python agents\) and zero-downtime topology changes. Critical: implement caching of agent capabilities to avoid repeated handshake overhead

environment: Distributed microservices with polyglot agents using MCP 2025-03-26 spec · tags: mcp multi-agent delegation topology service-discovery · source: swarm · provenance: https://spec.modelcontextprotocol.io/specification/2025-03-26/architecture/
