Short, cited digests of research and agency records, with a separate OfRoot perspective. Built for a clear first read and a direct path to the evidence.
FROM THE PRIMARY RECORDThe rise of agentic artificial intelligence (AI) in the built environment is shifting attention from isolated AI tools toward autonomous systems that reason, plan, and act across project and organizational workflows.
OFROOT / WHO SHOULD REVIEW ITTeams considering agents, tool access, or connected workflows. Use the linked paper to determine whether the research setting matches your needs.
FROM THE PRIMARY RECORDWhen two companies connect their digital twins, software models of their plants kept up to date with live data, each twin must translate the other's data into its own terms, and that translation rule, called a mapping, can stop being correct when one company changes the meaning of its data without telling the other.
OFROOT / WHO SHOULD REVIEW ITTeams evaluating interoperability and system integrations. Use the linked paper to determine whether the research setting matches your needs.
FROM THE PRIMARY RECORDOpen Radio Access Networks (RANs) aim to transform the existing wireless network architectures by adopting open interfaces, disaggregating and virtualising RAN components, and enabling dynamic control of the system via data-driven methods.

FROM THE PRIMARY RECORDThe interoperability between permissioned and public blockchains is hampered by asymmetric privacy, trust, and governance assumptions. We propose a coordination architecture that decouples cross-domain trust management and privacy enforcement from underlying blockchain protocols, requiring no protocol-level modifications.

FROM THE PRIMARY RECORDLLM agents increasingly access external tools through the Model Context Protocol (MCP), but the natural-language metadata used to describe those tools creates a prompt-injection surface. Within this established tool-poisoning surface, we study Log-To-Leak, an additive post-hoc logging attack that induces a separate attacker-controlled call after the final legitimate call.

FROM THE PRIMARY RECORDThe rapid integration of power electronics converters has fundamentally altered the power grid's dynamic landscape, making modularity of operation and interoperability of heterogeneous devices two critical hurdles for power system reliability.

FROM THE PRIMARY RECORDAI agents increasingly rely on tools exposed through the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to complete user tasks. Hundreds of thousands of MCP servers are listed across marketplaces, yet they are organized only by coarse, marketplace-specific server categories.

FROM THE PRIMARY RECORDObjective: To assess trends in family physicians' (FPs) electronic health record (EHR) satisfaction and their experience of interoperability across organizations. Materials and Methods: Serial cross-sectional analysis of five waves of the American Board of Family Medicine's Continuous Certification Questionnaire (2022-26).

FROM THE PRIMARY RECORDLarge language models increasingly mediate tool use in Model Context Protocol (MCP) systems, where adversarial influence may enter through user instructions, tool schemas, tool outputs, or protocol messages. Existing benchmarks often evaluate deployed agents, conflating model susceptibility with guardrails, orchestration, and general task capability.
