Before using make sure you read this entirely and understand it: https://docs.openclaw.ai/gateway/security Most important sentence: "Note: sandboxing is opt-in. If sandbox mode is off" Don't do that, turn sandbox on immediately. Otherwise you are just installing an LLM controlled RCE.

There are still improvements to be made to the security aspects yet BIG KUDOS for working so hard on it at this stage and documenting it extensively!! I've explored Cursor security docs (with a big s cause it's so scattered) and it was nothing as good.

It's typically used with external sandboxes.

I wouldn't trust its internal sandbox anyway, now that would be a mistake

Yeah, keep it in a VM or a box you don't care about. If you're running it on your primary machine, you're a dumbass even if you turn on sandbox mode.

The thing is running it onto your machine is kinda the point. These agents are meant to operate at the same level - and perhaps replace - your mail agent and file navigator. So if we sandbox too much we make it useless. The compromise being having separate folders for AI, a bit like having a Dropbox folder on your machine with some subfolders being personal, shared, readonly etc. Running terminal commands is usually just a bad idea though in this case, you'd want to disable that and instead fine tune a very well configured MCP server that runs the commands with a minimal blast radius.

That very much depends what you're using it for. If you're one of the overly advertised cases of someone who needs an ai to manage inbox, calendar and scheduling tasks, sure maybe that makes sense on your own machine if you aren't capable of setting up access on another one.

For anything else it has no need to be on your machine. Most things are cloud based these days, and granting read access to git repos, google docs, etc is trivial.

I really dont get the insane focus around 'your inbox' this whole thing has, that's perhaps the biggest waste of use you could have for a tool like this and an incredibly poor way of 'selling' it to people.

> someone who needs an ai to manage inbox, calendar and scheduling tasks

A secretary. The word you're looking for is "secretary". Having a secretary has always been the preferred way to handle these tasks for the wealthy and powerful. The president doesn't schedule his own meetings and manage his own Outlook calendar, a president/CEO/etc has better things to do.

People just created calendar/email/etc software (like Microsoft Outlook) to let us do it ourselves, because secretaries are $$$$. But let's be real, the ideal situation is having a perfect secretary to handle this crap. That's the point of using AI here: to have an AI secretary.

Managing your own calendar would become extremely 2010 coded, if AI secretaries become a thing. It'd be like how "rewinding your VCR tape" is 1990s coded.
