TrustCarry Protocol v0.3 — Research Claim 059

Sealed record identifier: kaal:research-claim:persona-protocol-v0.3:059

Integration with MCP, A2A, credentials, attestations, and authority tokens does not change their evidentiary meaning: discovery is not competence, attestation is bounded by appraisal policy, credentials remain issuer claims, and authority remains issuer- and scope-bounded.

Author-affirmed proposition from an unpublished research draft. Not part of the 5,033 published-source scholarly claim layer.

Holds when

Persona Protocol v0.3 as proposed; not an adopted standard

Supporting passage

None of these integrations changes the meaning of a protocol object. An MCP tool listing is not evidence of competence. An A2A Agent Card is a discovery and presentation document, even when signed. An attestation establishes only what its evidence and its appraisal policy support. A credential remains an issuer claim. An authority token remains bounded by its issuer and its scope.
