**Affirmed position.** Parasites in the Toolchain: A Large-Scale Analysis of Attacks on the MCP Ecosystem should be assessed against Kaal's source-bound claim that CIAs reach into the day to day compliance operations of corporations by elevating the chief compliance officer, typically mandating the appointment of a CCO who reports directly to the CEO rather than to the general counsel or chief financial officer and who has direct access to the board. 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.
