What is XSafeClaw?

XSafeClaw is a security-focused companion platform for OpenClaw AI agents. It monitors agent activity in real time, intercepts unsafe tool calls before they execute, scans system assets for risk, and provides automated red team testing — all from a single xsafeclaw start command.

Module	Description
Claw Monitor	Real-time session timeline with event tracking, token usage, tool call inspection, skills & memory scanning
Safe Chat	Secure gateway to chat with your OpenClaw agent with built-in guard protection
Asset Shield	File system scanning with risk classification (L0–L3), software audit, hardware inventory
Guard (AgentDoG)	Trajectory-level & tool-call-level safety evaluation with human-in-the-loop approval
Agent Office	PixiJS-powered 2D visualization of all agents' status and activities
Onboard Setup	Interactive wizard to install and configure OpenClaw CLI

---

Quick Start

pip install xsafeclaw
xsafeclaw start

Browser opens automatically at http://127.0.0.1:6874. If OpenClaw is not yet installed, the web UI will guide you through setup.

Common options:

xsafeclaw start --port 8080              # custom port
xsafeclaw start --host 0.0.0.0           # accessible from LAN
xsafeclaw start --no-browser --reload    # headless dev mode

Guard: How It Works

XSafeClaw's guard system protects users through a two-layer defense:

1. Trajectory-level evaluation — The full conversation history is sent to a guard model (AgentDoG) that evaluates the entire interaction sequence for emerging risks across multiple turns.

2. Tool-call interception — Every tool call passes through a before_tool_call hook. If the guard model deems it unsafe, the call is held in a pending queue for human review.

           │         │
           ▼         ▼
        Execute   Block + notify agent

When rejected (or timed out after 5 min), the agent is instructed to stop all subsequent actions, inform the user about the risk, and wait for explicit confirmation.

Installation

Requires Python 3.11+. The frontend is pre-built and bundled — no Node.js needed for production.

# From PyPI (recommended)
pip install xsafeclaw

# From GitHub
pip install git+https://github.com/XSafeAI/XSafeClaw.git

# From source
git clone https://github.com/XSafeAI/XSafeClaw.git
cd XSafeClaw && pip install .

# Development
git clone https://github.com/XSafeAI/XSafeClaw.git
cd XSafeClaw && pip install -e ".[dev]"

Install the Guard Plugin

To enable real-time tool-call interception in OpenClaw:

cp -r plugins/safeclaw-guard ~/.openclaw/extensions/safeclaw-guard

Then add to ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json:

{
  "plugins": {
    "entries": {
      "safeclaw-guard": {
        "path": "~/.openclaw/extensions/safeclaw-guard"
      }
    }
  }
}

---

Configuration

XSafeClaw works out of the box with sensible defaults. Copy .env.example to .env to customize:

Variable	Default	Description
API_PORT	6874	Server port
API_HOST	0.0.0.0	Bind address
OPENCLAW_SESSIONS_DIR	~/.openclaw/agents/main/sessions	OpenClaw session directory
GUARD_BASE_URL	(auto-detected)	Guard model API base URL
GUARD_BASE_MODEL	(auto-detected)	Guard model ID

If guard variables are not set, XSafeClaw reads model configuration from ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json automatically. See .env.example for the full list.

---

Development

Prerequisites: Python 3.11+, Node.js 18+, uv (recommended)

git clone https://github.com/XSafeAI/XSafeClaw.git && cd XSafeClaw

# Backend
uv venv && uv pip install -e ".[dev]"
python run.py                    # http://localhost:6874, auto-reload

# Frontend (separate terminal)
cd frontend && npm install && npm run dev   # http://localhost:3000, HMR

# Build frontend for production
cd frontend && npm run build     # outputs to src/xsafeclaw/static/
