Decision

What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-06-28

Track; not yet

Why
It is a standards intent, not a standard — high coverage and strategic relevance for our protocol layer, but nothing normative to conform to yet; premature to gate work on it.
Next
Monitor outcomes of the CAISI RFI on AI Agent Security (closed March 9; response summary-analysis published May 18 2026) and the NCCoE/ITL AI Agent Identity & Authorization concept paper; align our trust/identity model to map cleanly once the first normative profile lands.
