My team fully abandoned our attempts to make OpenClaw or Claw-like agents work for us. We invested a sizable chunk of our R&D budget to setting various Claws up to help our software and QA teams. It took about a week after launch for the team to fully sour on the idea of using these systems.
The biggest feedback we collected was that any tasks they assigned to the Claw systems would turn into tangled messes often requiring significant time investment to understand, and mostly ending in the team scraping the code changes over quality concerns. The team really struggled to find anything these Claw systems could be tasked with that wouldnt end in poor results, So we ended up scraping the idea entirely. I think it will be quite a few more years until these types of systems are appropriate for the enterprise.
With agentjail (github.com/LuD1161/agentjail), I've tried to contain coding agents in os-native sandboxes (sbpl for macos and similarly for linux) + policy guardrails evaluated by Open Policy Agent (OPA), policies written in rego.
Protocol aware network proxy coming soon Then you can match a DSL and block particular network requests.
This ensures you no longer fear --dangerously-skip-permissions and stop babysitting agents
What else would you want to see in this project? Please star the repo, if you like the idea :)
Truthfully, this sounds like you're showing folks the magic code to get inside various arcade claw machine games.
Anything made in a couple of days or even hours is abandoned easily. This is how I felt when I saw the onslaught of OpenClaw tutorials months ago. I wonder how many of those influencers who felt they were so far ahead of the game are still using it and if they still feel the GAME has been SHOCKINGLY CHANGED.
I was a basic user who happened to just TRY OpenClaw. Thankfully it was brief and thankfully I ended my session after being underwhelmed because the very next day, they were on the news for the wrong reasons. There is no way on earth I am trusting this or anything even remotely similar in an enterprise setting. In a way, it was course correction for me - I was super optimistic about AI until I saw how ugly it could get. Nope. Nopedy nopedy nope.
I wouldn't want OpenClaw anywhere near a business I was running, even if I was all aboard the LLM hype train. That codebase is a nightmare. Just take a look at the hundred-plus pages of bugs on the Github repo.

what did you guys settle on? did you abandon the idea of personal agents completely or did you move to another harness and/or approach?
