A short explainer on REA, an open-source MCP tool that plugs AI coding agents into reverse-engineering tooling such as Ghidra, Hopper and JavaScript analysis. It walks through two published examples—Notion's Electron clipboard bridge and a DX-Ball sound-pan function—and discusses why native binaries and JavaScript need different analysis approaches, what 3,205 behaviour cases were checked, and the limits of reconstructing a whole app. Practical advice: start with one feature, demand code evidence, list unknowns and compare behaviour.
