Why this is canonical
Medicine is already a protocol-governed domain: every diagnostic pathway, treatment sequence, and data exchange operates by protocol. 'Medical protocol' on .ai names the layer where AI agents must conform to — and help define — the rules of clinical engagement. This compound sits at the intersection of two protocol traditions: clinical and computational.
