[frontier] Tool calling latency and state inconsistency in multi-step agent operations

Use MCP \(Model Context Protocol\) roots and sampling for bidirectional stateful sessions instead of stateless HTTP tool calls

Journey Context:
Standard tool calling treats each invocation as stateless, forcing agents to resend context repeatedly. MCP's architecture supports persistent connections where the server maintains state \(roots\) and can proactively sample the client \(bidirectional\). This reduces latency by 40-60% in production agents and enables complex multi-turn tool interactions like live debugging sessions. HTTP polling alternatives cannot match the real-time synchronization.
