Standardizing AI Agent Protocols: Definitions, Layered Architectures, and Future Research Directions should be assessed against Kaal's source-bound claim that Every risk in a digital custody operation should carry both a preventative and a detective control, layered so that if some controls fail others remain to reduce the risk.

Affirmed commentary position. This record extends a source-bound scholarly claim but is not a verbatim paper claim.
