This solution adopts a "Soft Isolation" design:
- Relies on Agent self-discipline and prompt constraints, no hard ACL enforcement
- Suitable for trusted environments, NOT for zero-trust/high-compliance scenarios
- DO NOT USE for financial, military, medical, or other high-security requirement scenarios
| Limitation | Description |
|---|---|
| No Mandatory Access Control | Agents can technically access all directories, relies on self-discipline |
| Trust-Based Model | Assumes Agents will comply with prompt constraints |
| Audit Can Be Bypassed | Worker Agents can choose not to report to audit logs |
For hard security guarantees, please use systems with ACL support.
If you discover security issues or vulnerabilities:
Please do NOT report security issues via public GitHub Issues.

This solution has the following known security limitations:
- Risk: Agents can technically bypass constraints
- Mitigation: Deploy only in trusted environments
- Risk: Workers may not report operations
- Mitigation: Main Agent regular patrol discovers anomalies
- Risk: Data stored in plaintext
- Mitigation: Ensure filesystem itself is secure
When using this solution, recommended measures:
- Ensure OpenClaw gateway deployed in secure environment
- Restrict filesystem access to
~/.openclaw/directory - Regularly backup audit logs
- Regularly check
AUDIT_LOG.mdfor anomalies - Promptly cleanup data for deactivated Agents
- Restrict Main Agent access scope
- Set audit log file change alerts
- Regularly check Cron task naming standards
- Quarterly review Agent registry
