EctoClaw: Safety Tool for OpenClaw Agents with Terminal Access
What EctoClaw Does
EctoClaw is a safety tool designed specifically for OpenClaw users who run agents with terminal or certain tool access. It provides system security through multiple verification layers and isolation.
Key Safety Features
- Quadruple Action Checking: Every action is checked four times before it runs
- Strong Sandboxing: Actions execute in a sandbox environment that prevents harm to your computer
- Comprehensive Recording: All activity gets recorded with proof
Setup and Access
You can try EctoClaw with a single command: docker compose up
The tool is available as a skill at: https://clawhub.ai/EctoSpace/ectoclaw
This type of safety tool is particularly useful when working with AI agents that have system-level access, as it adds verification and containment layers between the agent's actions and your actual system.
