Overview
- The REA toolset is publicly available on GitHub, npm, and rea.tools and installs with the commands npm install -g rea-agents and npx rea-agents setup.
- REA uses the Model Context Protocol to register as a local tool for MCP‑compatible AI clients and orchestrates decompilers to extract pseudo‑code and evidence tied to binary offsets.
- All analysis runs locally and the agent returns cited code blocks and offsets rather than unaudited LLM guesses, which lets users verify findings inside their own decompiler.
- Users must have a local decompiler such as Ghidra, Hopper, or IDA Pro for native binary work, and example outputs in the published article are illustrative rather than independently audited.
- The project targets security researchers, engineers working on legacy binaries, and developers inspecting Electron or .NET apps and could speed inspections while keeping source data private on the user’s machine.
