Report #61489

[frontier] MCP servers only used for stateless tool execution, leading to stale context and polling overhead

Use MCP Resources and Sampling capabilities to establish bi-directional state synchronization and server-to-agent notifications, treating MCP as a live context layer rather than just a JSON-RPC tool dispatcher.

Journey Context:
Most early adopters treat MCP like traditional function calling. However, MCP defines Resources \(contextual data\) and Sampling \(server requesting LLM completions\). By using Resources with subscription capabilities, an agent can receive push-based updates when a file or database state changes, eliminating the need for the agent to constantly poll via tool calls. This shifts MCP from a request/response tool layer to a live state synchronization protocol.
