Report #85873

[frontier] Multi-agent systems failing to coordinate because static tool definitions cannot express dynamic capability evolution or service-level dependencies

Use MCP \(Model Context Protocol\) as a dynamic Capability Registry: agents advertise MCP endpoints that expose not just tools but JSON-schema capability contracts with SLAs, dependency graphs, and semantic versioning; consuming agents query the registry at runtime to discover and bind to capabilities dynamically

Journey Context:
Static OpenAPI specs or hardcoded tool lists break when downstream agents evolve their capabilities or change their schemas. REST/HTTP forces synchronous point-to-point integration. MCP's 'resources' and 'tools' primitives are being extended in production to act as service discovery layers—agents register their capabilities to a central MCP registry \(or gossip between peers\), and consumers use LLM-based planning to match intent to capability. This is emerging in agent orchestration platforms \(e.g., Agno, CrewAI enterprise\) moving away from static DAGs to dynamic capability markets.
