I made a secure one:

Everything runs in containers (I run it on a server along with everything else), plugins have a permission system so eg the AI can read emails but not delete or send, etc.

I really like it, I run it as my main agent and it has been extremely helpful.

Part of the usefulness is based on the same thing that makes it so dangerous.

If it can only read but not act, it’s safer but less useful.

I can't restrict OpenClaw if I don't need the extra capabilities. I can restrict this.
You restrict OpenClaw by not providing it certain credentials.
Again, with my design you can give it fine-grained access to parts of services, which OpenClaw itself cannot do. This is just a fact.
