Report #75749
[frontier] Agents break when external tool schemas change or microservices update
Adopt MCP client-server architecture: agents discover capabilities via protocol handshake and bind tools dynamically at runtime using JSON-RPC reflection rather than static OpenAPI specs
Journey Context:
Hard-coded tool definitions require redeployment when backends change. The Model Context Protocol \(MCP\) allows services to advertise schemas and agents to subscribe to capability updates, enabling runtime composition of multi-agent workflows without tight coupling, distinct from static function calling.
