Security
Best Practices
- Run OpenClaw in a sandboxed environment to limit blast radius
- Restrict file system access to only necessary directories
- Store API keys in environment variables โ never hardcode them
- Keep OpenClaw updated to the latest version
- Review skills before installing from third-party sources
- Never expose your OpenClaw instance to the public internet
Security Tools

|---|---|---|
| aquaman | - | Credential isolation proxy โ API keys never enter the agent process, injected via UDS from Keychain/1Password/Vault/keepassxc |
| APort Agent Guardrails | - | Pre-action authorization for OpenClaw; before_tool_call plugin, allowlist + 40+ blocked patterns, local or API. Setup: npx @aporthq/agent-guardrails |
| leashed | - | Policy engine, audit log, and kill switch for AI agents. Allow/deny patterns, time limits, and emergency revocation. |
| OneCLI | - | Open-source credential vault for AI agents. Rust HTTP gateway injects API keys transparently so agents never handle raw secrets. Per-agent scoped tokens, AES-256-GCM encryption at rest. |

FAQ
What is OpenClaw? OpenClaw is a free, open-source, self-hosted AI agent created by Peter Steinberger (formerly known as Clawdbot and Moltbot). It runs locally on your computer and connects to WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, and 12+ other messaging platforms.
How is OpenClaw different from ChatGPT? OpenClaw is self-hosted (runs on your own machine), open-source, supports any AI model (including local models via Ollama), and integrates with real-world tools like GitHub, Gmail, and smart home devices. ChatGPT is a cloud service operated by OpenAI.
Does OpenClaw work with local LLMs? Yes. OpenClaw supports Ollama and LM Studio, letting you run models like DeepSeek, Llama, Mistral, and others entirely offline without sending data to any cloud service.
What is the difference between Clawdbot, Moltbot, and OpenClaw? All three names refer to the same project. It started as Clawdbot, was renamed to Moltbot, and eventually became OpenClaw as it went fully open-source.
Is OpenClaw free? Yes. OpenClaw is MIT licensed and completely free to use. You only pay for any AI API calls you make (e.g., OpenAI or Anthropic), or you can run it fully free with local models via Ollama.
How do I install OpenClaw?
Run npm install -g openclaw@latest then openclaw onboard to start the setup wizard. See the Installation Guides section for platform-specific guides.
