**Affirmed position.** Teaching Model Context Protocol, Retrieval-Augmented Generation, and AI Agents to a Multidisciplinary Hospital Workforce: Single-Group Pre-Post Survey Study (Preprint) should be assessed against Kaal's source-bound claim that Retrieval-augmented generation reduces but does not eliminate hallucination: leading legal research tools including Lexis+AI and Westlaw AI-Assisted Research still generate false citations or facts in 17 to 33 percent of cases. The current metadata indicates a plausible connection through model context protocol, but the defensible response is a qualification until the source text confirms agreement, scope, methods, and limitations.

**Status.** affirmed  **Published.** 2026-07-31

**Holds when.**

- RAG-based commercial legal research platforms
- as measured at the time of the cited study; the authors note rates are progressively improving
- External evidence level: metadata only.
- Mapping review tier: mapping review before claim review.
- The literature-to-claim mapping remains explicitly ambiguous and should not be treated as a settled equivalence.
