    abstract =  {NETCONF provides robust configuration transactions and YANG-based data models, but falls short in scenarios requiring AI-driven semantic translation, long-lived cross-domain orchestration, multi- agent consensus, rapid DevOps iteration, or delivery of large non- configuration artifacts. This document systematically analyzes the functional gaps and presents Model Context Protocol (MCP) and Agent- to-Agent (A2A) as complementary solutions. Implementation guidance and coexistence models are also provided.},
