As best I can tell, given REBOL's usual security features, you can do it if you use /Pro (or /Command -- the essential ability is launching seperate processes) and run the agents as seperate processes with appropriately limited "sandboxes" and let them communicate with the main "place" process via TCP/IP (with some type of RPC mechanism). At least it seems that this would "keep them in their place". You could probably do it in /Core or /View with a seperate native program to handle launching that the REBOL could talk to via TCP/IP, but that limits portability (although its easier to port a simple C-based server that does nothing but launch agents, etc., than the whole enviromnent, so its not so bad).
