Research brief / Security & evidence
SCANGATE Download Safety
A staged intake gate for untrusted downloads, archives, dependency artifacts, and risky source material.
The research question
Where must the trust boundary sit if reading an outside instruction can already influence an agent?
Inside the work
SCANGATE puts sealed intake before ordinary model access. Screening, isolated review, adoption, and execution remain distinct states, and important dispositions bind to exact artifact hashes. Bounded streaming and memory telemetry support large-file handling without treating larger memory limits as a substitute for a controlled process.
A staged intake system for examining outside artifacts before agents can read them. The SCANGATE project offers a concrete way into this field of research.
