CC has `ListMcpResourcesTool`\nand `ReadMcpResourceTool` for accessing MCP resources (files, database records,\nAPI responses, etc. exposed by MCP servers).\n\n## Current State\nBabysitter's `mcp:serve` exposes babysitter's own resources. But there is no MCP\nclient capability to LIST or READ resources from external MCP servers. The agentic\ntool set has no MCP resource tools.\n\n## Target State\nTwo agentic tools:\n- `mcp_list_resources`: List available resources from a connected MCP server\n- `mcp_read_resource`: Read a specific resource by URI\n\nResources accessible from within Pi sessions and orchestrated tasks. Enables\nprocesses to read external data (documentation, database records, API state)\nduring execution.\n\n## Dependencies\n- [GAP-TOOLS-025](GAP-TOOLS-025.md) -- MCP client capability (tool invocation)\n- [GAP-MCPC-004](../mcp-channels/GAP-MCPC-004.md) -- MCP server connection management\n\n## Key Files\n| Component | Path |\n|-----------|------|\n| Agentic tools | `packages/sdk/src/harness/agenticTools.ts` |\n| MCP module | `packages/sdk/src/mcp/` |\n\n## Recommendation\nPhase 3. Implement alongside MCP client capability. Resource browsing is less\ncritical than tool invocation but enables richer data access patterns.\n",
