A transaction firewall that blocks OpenClaw agents from sending funds or signing transactions without human approval

An OpenClaw trading agent named Lobstar Wilde accidentally transferred 52.43M tokens worth $250K in a single unreviewed transaction, triggering a DeFi exploit cascade. There is no built-in mechanism to intercept financial operations before they execute. This tool wraps all wallet-interacting MCP tools with a mandatory approval gate that catches outbound transfers, contract approvals, and token swaps above configurable thresholds, then pauses execution until a human confirms via mobile push or CLI prompt.

Gap Assessment

UnderservedExisting solutions leave gaps. Underserved market

2 tools exist (OpenClaw Harness, NanoClaw) but gaps remain: No financial transaction awareness, no DeFi-specific rules, no approval flows, no spending limits; Isolates compute but does not intercept or approve financial transactions.

Features3 agent-ready prompts

Middleware that intercepts all outbound financial API calls (Stripe, crypto wallets, bank APIs) and holds them pending approval

▶

Notification system that sends pending transactions to Slack, email, or push and waits for explicit approve/reject before releasing

▶

Rule engine that enforces per-agent and per-session spending caps, transaction frequency limits, and daily aggregate ceilings
