Report #91926

[frontier] Multi-agent systems fail to share ephemeral state and session memory across process boundaries

Use MCP Resources and Sampling as a distributed state bus: expose agent working memory as MCP Resources \(readable/subscribable by other agents\), use Sampling to delegate decisions to other agents recursively, and subscribe to resource updates for reactive coordination instead of polling shared databases.

Journey Context:
MCP is misused as just a tool wrapper. The specification defines Resources \(context exposure\) and Sampling \(recursive delegation\). Using it as a bus decouples agents from shared databases, allows cross-language agent teams, and enables zero-trust state inspection. This replaces fragile HTTP APIs between agents with a standard protocol that handles capability advertisement and state subscription natively.
