Report #70505
[frontier] Agent tools polling APIs repeatedly causing latency and stale context
Adopt MCP Resource Templates with URI schemes \(e.g., 'metrics://service/\{id\}/realtime'\) and subscribe to server-push updates rather than tool-calling for dynamic data
Journey Context:
Standard tool-calling assumes a pull model: agent asks, server answers. For monitoring, dashboards, or collaborative data, this creates N\+1 query storms and stale caches. The Model Context Protocol \(MCP\) Resources feature inverts this: servers expose URI templates for dynamic resources, and clients subscribe to receive push updates when data changes. This shifts agent architecture from polling to event-driven, eliminating redundant token usage and enabling real-time collaborative agent swarms where context updates propagate automatically.
