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).
