**Affirmed position.** A Zero-Trust Supply Chain Security Framework for Model Context Protocol-based AI Systems should be assessed against Kaal's source-bound claim that Smart contract exploits are a live failure channel for LER, capable of producing losses on the scale of DeFi incidents that have exceeded $1 billion annually and requiring insurance premiums of one to two percent of asset value. 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.
