OpenClaw Harness: Rust Security Firewall With 35 Rules Blocks rm -rf and Key Theft

Open-source Rust security harness for OpenClaw: 35 built-in block rules (rm -rf /, SSH key theft, API key exposure, crypto wallet access), 25 templates, 6 self-protection layers. Enforce or Monitor modes.

Product Idea from this Signal

A container runtime that automatically sandboxes every OpenClaw agent in an isolated environment

OpenClaw agents run with full access to the host filesystem, network, and credentials by default. Three competing projects (NanoClaw, OpenClaw Harness, AgentVM) prove massive demand for sandboxing but each takes a different approach and none integrates seamlessly with the standard OpenClaw workflow. This tool auto-wraps every agent session in a lightweight container with only the permissions it needs, using a declarative policy file that defines allowed paths, network rules, and tool access per agent role.
