Key points

  • Rex is an open-source scripting runtime that authorizes each system operation via Cedar policy.
  • Scripts are written in Rhai, a language without built-in system access, relying on Rex's SDK operations.
  • It addresses the security gap when AI agents execute scripts autonomously without human review.
  • The policy, defined by the service owner, dictates what the script is allowed to do at runtime.
