[frontier] Agent state gets out of sync across distributed tools and long-running workflows

Implement MCP \(Model Context Protocol\) Resources as stateful context channels, not just tool endpoints. Expose application state as MCP resources that agents subscribe to, enabling reactive updates across tool boundaries.

Journey Context:
Teams initially use MCP only for tool calling, treating it like function calling over stdio. This fails for stateful agents because state changes require polling or manual passing. The shift is to treat MCP as a resource provider: expose dynamic context \(memory, session state, database cursors\) as addressable resources. This mirrors REST but for AI agents, enabling optimistic updates and consistency across distributed tool chains.
