What the research found

Open-source REA Safe Agent skill sets up REA and its receiving agent in separate restricted Docker containers, sharing only frozen hash-approved file copies, with a security hardening update adding 3,702 boundary cases.

Claims and how well the evidence supports them

  1. Run REA and the receiving agent in separate restricted Docker containers with network=none, read-only roots and zero host mounts for the agent 99%
  2. Only frozen, hash-approved copies of explicitly selected files are shared with REA 98%
  3. The latest hardening update reports 3,702 reproducible boundary cases 98%
  4. A 27-tool MCP allowlist is preserved in setup 98%

Evidence

Actionability rated medium.
