📄 Description

Summary

I work on looot. This is outside REA's usual scope, so feel free to close it if it doesn't fit. I'm proposing it because agents using REA sometimes hit the point where the thing they need is data, not code.

This adds one short section to docs/index.md saying REA recovers code, protocols, behavior, and endpoints, but not the data behind a service, and pointing to a data API for that part of a task. looot is named as one example.

Problem and expected behavior

An agent can take an app apart and still not have the contact, company, or search data the app serves. The docs do not say where REA's reach ends. After this change they do.

Change and scope

One section, 10 lines, in docs/index.md. No code, no new provider, no integration, no change to any REA tool. README and its translations are untouched.

Follow the contribution scope. Not applicable: documentation only, no new capability.

Contract and boundary impact

Semantic owner and earliest changed stage: docs home page
Contribution scope fit and linked maintainer decision: outside the usual scope, see Summary. No maintainer decision linked.
CLI and MCP/tool-catalog contract: none
Provider, bridge, target-format, or platform compatibility: none
Evidence, artifact, provenance, or reconstruction contract: none
Target selection, authority, upstream behavior, and cleanup details (if applicable): not applicable
Generated metadata, package, or installation impact: none
Documentation or usability only; no target interaction.

Evidence and regression coverage

Tests added or updated: none, docs only
Base reproduction or other evidence: not applicable
Remaining proof gaps: the looot figures (about 2,500 endpoints, 90+ providers) come from looot's own catalog and are not verified by REA.

Validation performed

git diff --stat shows 1 file, 10 insertions
Not run: npm run docs:check and prettier (dependencies not installed locally)

Compatibility, safety, and release

Breaking changes or migration steps: none
Security, privacy, process, or containment review: adds two outbound links and one MCP URL as text. Nothing is fetched or executed.

Before merge

One focused outcome.
Checked the diff for secrets and unrelated changes.
Maintainer scope fit: pending, the maintainer may close this.
