Report #86954

[frontier] Agents are constrained by static tool sets defined at startup, preventing adaptation to novel APIs or file formats without human engineering

Implement 'Tool Authoring' where a meta-agent generates complete MCP server implementations \(tool schemas \+ execution logic\) at runtime when encountering novel domains, registers them with the MCP host, and delegates to the newly equipped peer

Journey Context:
Static MCP servers require manual coding and redeployment. Frontier systems use a 'metacognitive' agent that reads API documentation \(OpenAPI specs, READMEs\) and generates Python/TypeScript MCP server code using template-based code generation. The generated server is hot-loaded into a sandboxed subprocess \(gVisor or WASM\) to prevent malicious execution. This creates a self-extending system: agents can adapt to new Salesforce instances, internal APIs, or proprietary file formats without human intervention. The pattern requires careful capability isolation \(the authoring agent has higher privileges than execution agents\) but enables true zero-shot tool expansion.
