Report #93294

[frontier] Tools called via MCP modify external state, but the agent's internal state becomes stale, causing decisions on outdated data

Use MCP bi-directional subscriptions instead of polling: subscribe to resource URIs via 'resources/subscribe'. Maintain local CRDT replica that merges incoming 'resource/updated' notifications. Implement Server-Sent Events \(SSE\) transport for real-time push. Treat MCP resources as reactive stores \(Firebase-style\), not RPC endpoints.

Journey Context:
Standard MCP usage treats it like REST: stateless request→response. But agents are long-lived sessions. When a calendar tool books a slot, the agent's cached view is wrong until next poll. The fix leverages MCP's underutilized 'subscriptions' primitives \(like GraphQL live queries\). This turns MCP into a reactive sync layer. Essential for multi-agent systems sharing tool access.
