Report #96551

[frontier] Multi-agent systems require hardcoded integration maps that break when agents are added or removed

Deploy MCP servers as capability registries where agents advertise services via MCP resources and discover peers via the MCP sampling protocol

Journey Context:
Static agent topologies \(hub-and-spoke, chain\) require reconfiguration when scaling. The frontier pattern treats every agent as both MCP client and server, advertising capabilities via MCP resources and negotiating context via the sampling protocol. This enables dynamic mesh topologies but introduces challenges with authentication loops and deadlock detection, requiring timeout budgets and cycle detection in the orchestration layer.
