OpenClaw's userbase is very broad. A lot of people set it up so only they can interact with it via a messenger and they don't give it access to things with their private credentials.

There are a lot of people going full YOLO and giving it access to everything, though. That's not a good idea.

What use is an agent that doesn’t have access to any sensitive information (e.g. source code)? Aside from circus tricks.

Basically a lot of use cases where you would hire a human without giving him access to your sensitive information.

From perfectly benign things like gathering chats from Discord servers to learn how your brand is perceived. To more nefarious things like creating swarms of fake people pushing your agenda.

build a personality that loves cats, gardening and knitting. Create accounts on discord, reddit and Twitter. participate in communities, upvote posts, comment sporadically in area of your expertise, once in a month casually mention the agenda.

News aggregation, research, context aware reminders. Not nearly as useful as letting it go open-season on your data, but still enough that it would’ve been mind blowing 10 years ago.

But where does it store that information? I suppose you sandbox the agent on an operating system that gives it very few privileges?

Data scraping is an interesting use-case.
