[DOC/TEST] add runnable agentic model-selection workflow example using existing MCP tools #403

Description

@biru-codeastromer

Summary

The repository already has solid MCP primitives for discovery, instantiation, evaluation, forecasting, and code export, but it does not currently ship a runnable example that ties those together into a simple agent-style model-selection loop.

Why this matters

One of the clearest ways to demonstrate the value of sktime-mcp for agentic workflows is a truthful end-to-end example where an LLM-style loop:

  • discovers candidate forecasters
  • evaluates them on a dataset
  • picks a winner based on a metric
  • generates a forecast
  • exports reproducible code

This is directly aligned with the project's agentic positioning and gives contributors/users a concrete workflow artifact to run and inspect.

Proposed addition

Add a new example script and smoke test covering a minimal model-selection loop on a built-in dataset using the existing MCP tool surface, without introducing any new framework or tool abstraction.

Suggested scope

  • new runnable example in examples/
  • smoke test in tests/
  • use current tools only: list_estimators, describe_estimator, instantiate_estimator, evaluate_estimator, fit_predict, export_code
