KYA is the Identity Spine Beneath MCP Apps — Every New Open Standard Under AAIF Makes Know Your Agent More Necessary, Not Less
HELSINKI — Following the AAIF MCP Apps launch that turns Model Context Protocol servers into interactive UIs rendering inside ChatGPT, Claude, Goose, and VS Code, Lifetime Oy publishes its position: interactive agent surfaces need more identity binding, not less. KYA binds every agent to a verified human, with TC-4 Leash Snap for one-action revocation.
"MCP Apps extends the frontier. KYA is the spine underneath. Every new open standard makes KYA more necessary, not less."
