Report #84612

[frontier] Agents operate on stale context because they poll for updates or rely on static filesystem snapshots

Use MCP's Resource Subscriptions to push real-time updates to agents when underlying data changes, eliminating polling loops and ensuring sub-second context freshness

Journey Context:
Standard MCP usage is request-response. The 2025-01 spec introduces subscriptions where the server pushes notifications to the client. This enables agents to react to file changes, database updates, or sensor streams in real-time. This transforms MCP from a 'tool catalog' into a 'live data fabric'. Implementation requires handling reconnection logic and backpressure for high-frequency updates. This is just beginning to appear in production MCP servers in early 2025.
