They aren't three interchangeable ways for agents to chat. MCP solves a capability-access problem. A2A solves a delegation problem. ACP explored a REST-first version of agent communication. Once those boundaries are separated, the architecture becomes much easier to reason about.

Staying Ahead of Adversarial AI Through Agentic Source Code Review

Written by: Alex Tselevich, Michael Maturi Introduction Adversarial misuse of AI has increased the risk of data theft and extortion events, because when proprietary source code is exposed, defenders must scramble to identify and patch vulnerabilities while attackers deploy machine-speed AI tools against them. By structuring the analysis process, enforcing skeptical validation steps, and injecting domain-specific human expertise directly into the pipeline, we’ve achieved a leap in efficacy. Comb

Firms must now demonstrate that their critical business services and supporting digital infrastructures can withstand
