Governance of AI Agents presents the following source proposition: The increasing integration of AI into economic, social, and political processes is creating new challenges for the governance of autonomous AI agents. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Principal agent frictions reemerge in new forms in the agentic economy, as user sovereign bring your own agents compete with platform controlled bowling shoe agents, creating incentives for proprietary enclosure and interoperability throttling. The proposed response is an extension: the relationship should remain limited to the retrieved source proposition and the mapped Kaal claim unless fuller source review supports a broader conclusion.

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