Versus having an agent read MCP config and fetch the existing tools every time it wants to use the MCP? It's duplicate functionality.
reply
The agent doesn't do that. The harness does the fetching and provides the tool definitions to the agent without the agent having to do anything.

Nothing says that agents can't read skills, interpret them and fetch stuff. Needing to agent to pass things off to powerful LLMs to interpret doesn't have to be done for everything.
