[frontier] How do I prevent tool definitions from becoming stale or poorly fit to actual usage patterns?

Implement runtime schema introspection where agents analyze tool success/failure rates and propose schema modifications \(adding parameters, refining descriptions\) that are hot-swapped via MCP capability re-negotiation.

Journey Context:
Static tool definitions \(OpenAI functions or MCP tools\) often drift from optimal usage as agents discover edge cases or new patterns. Dynamic evolution treats tool schemas as mutable interfaces. The agent tracks invocation metrics \(success rate, retry frequency, user corrections\) and generates schema patches—similar to API versioning but automated. This requires MCP servers that support dynamic capability updates or agent-side schema caching. The risk is instability if changes are too aggressive; mitigation requires A/B testing of schema variants.
