- Supervision needed
- High It can get full system access on your machine. You choose sandboxing, models, and credentials, so a careless setup carries real risk.
- Where it tends to fail
- Over-broad permissions, community skills you didn't review, and breakage after updates.
- Pricing
- Free and MIT licensed, stewarded by the OpenClaw Foundation (a 501(c)(3)). No paid tier; you pay for whatever models you connect. Pricing page (Checked Oct 2026)
