Report #75212

[frontier] How do I enable agents to dynamically discover and collaborate with other agents whose capabilities change at runtime without hardcoding integrations?

Adopt MCP \(Model Context Protocol\) Resources and Prompts as a capability registry—publish agent skills as discoverable MCP resources with semantic metadata \(URI templates returning JSON schemas\), consumed by a 'capability broker' that performs semantic matching to route tasks to agents based on runtime availability.

Journey Context:
Static agent maps \(YAML configs\) break when agents scale horizontally, update skills, or join transiently \(edge devices, serverless functions\). MCP Resources \(defined in the spec as readable data sources\) allow agents to advertise 'I can perform financial\_audit with constraints X,Y' via a resource URI like 'agent://audit-42/capabilities'. The broker performs vector similarity between task requirements and capability schemas. Unlike rigid orchestrators, this decouples discovery from execution, enabling zero-downtime skill updates. Tradeoff: eventual consistency in capability caches; mitigate with short TTLs and health check heartbeats. Implement using the official MCP Python SDK's 'server' with custom resource handlers for capability advertisement.
