Report #98987

[architecture] Agents negotiate capabilities at runtime with no published contract

Pre-publish capability manifests \(tools, input/output schemas, rate limits\) and version them; agents discover and bind to manifests before executing workflows, and fail fast on mismatch.

Journey Context:
Ad-hoc capability discovery leads to 'works on my machine' failures when one agent is updated and another still expects an old tool signature. Emerging protocols like the Model Context Protocol formalize this. Static manifests let you test compatibility ahead of time, generate clients, and surface breaking changes during CI rather than in production.
