The paper introduces the Natural Language Interaction Protocol (NLIP), a standards‑based application‑layer protocol designed to enable AI agents built on diverse frameworks and tools to communicate seamlessly. NLIP offers a lightweight semantic message envelope that can be transmitted over common transports such as HTTP/HTTPS, WebSocket, and AMQP, and includes mechanisms for adapting between clients, agents, local context stores, ontologies, tools, and enterprise services. The authors discuss the protocol’s design rationale, security considerations, reference implementation, representative applications, adoption signals, and its relationship to other emerging agent protocols like MCP and A2A.

The paper introduces a safety‑bounded gateway that translates IEEE 11073 Service‑Oriented Device Connectivity (SDC) into the Model Context Protocol (MCP) for medical AI agents. It exposes device metrics, alarms, context references, and semantic metadata as read‑only resources, while representing selected action affordances as policy‑validated dry‑run tools, ensuring that agent requests never trigger actual device operations. A Python prototype demonstrates fault and lifecycle experiments, deterministic baselines, and multi‑model agent evaluation, showing improved semantic conformity and preservation of the no‑execution boundary.

The paper introduces an architectural mediation approach that uses the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to bridge large language model (LLM) agents with data spaces. By implementing the Eunomia Agent, the mediation layer translates data space capabilities into structured, schema-driven tools that LLM agents can discover and invoke while respecting governance constraints. A prototype demonstrates end‑to‑end interaction across catalog discovery, metadata retrieval, and data service invocation without altering existing data space components, showing that protocol‑based mediation enables interoperable, standards‑aligned integration of AI agents into governed data‑sharing ecosystems.
