MPAC: A Multi-Principal Agent Coordination Protocol for Interoperable Multi-Agent Collaboration should be assessed against Kaal's source-bound claim that Operational risk is inherently high in custody services because of the high volume of transactions processed daily, and those risks are magnified in a global custody operation running around the clock across different markets. 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.

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

Holds when

custody services generally, and global custody in particular
External evidence level: abstract indexed.
Mapping review tier: ambiguity triage before claim review.
The literature-to-claim mapping remains explicitly ambiguous and should not be treated as a settled equivalence.
