Report #90029

[frontier] High latency and token waste from polling MCP tools for live data updates

Use MCP Resource subscriptions with uriTemplate and subscriptionId to receive server-pushed updates when resources change

Journey Context:
Polling tools like 'get\_status' wastes tokens and adds latency. MCP Resources support List/Read and crucially Subscribe/Unsubscribe methods. The server pushes notifications via JSON-RPC notifications, eliminating polling. Critical for real-time data like stock prices or CI/CD status.
