ArXi:2605.00827v1 Announce Type: cross Large Language Model (LLM) agents increasingly interact with external systems through tool-calling protocols such as the Model Context Protocol (MCP). In prevailing architectures, the agent must reason about every tool invocation in every session, consuming tokens proportional to the number of actions performed--even when the task has been solved before. We present the MCP Workflow Engine, a novel MCP-native orchestration layer that decouples intelligence (deciding what to do) from execution (carrying it out.
