GAP-TOOLS-031: MCP Resource Browsing and Reading

Field	Value
Category	tools-capabilities
Priority	Medium
Effort	M
Status	Missing

Description

Browse and read resources from connected MCP servers. CC has ListMcpResourcesTool and ReadMcpResourceTool for accessing MCP resources (files, database records, API responses, etc. exposed by MCP servers).

Current State

Babysitter's mcp:serve exposes babysitter's own resources. But there is no MCP client capability to LIST or READ resources from external MCP servers. The agentic tool set has no MCP resource tools.

Target State

Two agentic tools:

mcp_list_resources: List available resources from a connected MCP server
mcp_read_resource: Read a specific resource by URI

Resources accessible from within Pi sessions and orchestrated tasks. Enables processes to read external data (documentation, database records, API state) during execution.

Dependencies

GAP-TOOLS-025 -- MCP client capability (tool invocation)
GAP-MCPC-004 -- MCP server connection management

Key Files

Component	Path
Agentic tools	`packages/sdk/src/harness/agenticTools.ts`
MCP module	`packages/sdk/src/mcp/`

Recommendation

Phase 3. Implement alongside MCP client capability. Resource browsing is less critical than tool invocation but enables richer data access patterns.
