Runtime security for OpenClaw agents

Catch prompt injection
before your agent acts on it.

Clawmont inspects every prompt, tool call, and model output at four boundaries inside your OpenClaw gateway. It catches prompt injection, credential leaks, and unsafe commands before they run, with zero false positives. Your API keys never leave your machine.

Zero false positives
4 security ports inspected
Local keys never leave your machine

Detection is best-effort defense-in-depth, not a guarantee: strong on known attacks, lower on novel ones, and honest about the gap. See the measured rates and full red-team methodology on the security page.

What is Clawmont?

Clawmont is a local-first security layer for OpenClaw AI agents. It inspects four conversation boundaries (user input, tool calls, tool results, and model output) and catches prompt injection, credential leaks, and unsafe tool calls before they execute, with zero false positives. Your API keys never leave your machine.

Personas (role-tuned OpenClaw setup) are $30 one-time, Apex $40 one-time. Clawmont Security (Guardrails) is $9.99/mo bundled with a persona or Apex, $19.99/mo standalone, both with a 7-day free trial. Runs on macOS, Linux, and Windows. License: BUSL-1.1 (source-available).

The problem

An autonomous agent has access
to everything.

The moment an agent can read your files, call your APIs, and run commands on your behalf, each of those powers becomes a way in. Every tool you wire up is a path an attacker can try to walk.

Prompt injection

Someone hides instructions in a PR comment, a fetched web page, or a file. Your agent reads them and follows, without ever telling you.

Credential leaks

An agent that can read your code can also read ~/.aws/credentials. A single "paste these keys here" request is enough.

Unauthorized tool calls

rm -rf. curl | bash. DROP TABLE. Without a guardrail, every tool your agent has is a destructive command away.

How it works

Four checkpoints between your agent
and a bad tool call.

Clawmont is an in-process plugin that inspects every boundary in the agent loop before the model acts. Each port is bypass-tested independently. Full methodology and measured rates on the security page.

PORT 01

Input inspection

Every prompt is scanned for injection attacks, hidden instructions, and credential patterns before it ever reaches the model.

PORT 02

Tool-call guard

When the model tries to run a tool, Clawmont checks the command against path restrictions, dangerous-command blocklists, and schema validators.

PORT 03

Result screening

Data coming back from tools is checked for indirect prompt injection and exfiltration patterns before it re-enters the conversation.

PORT 04

Output rail

The model's final response is checked for leaked secrets, covert channels, and injection artifacts before it reaches you.

Keys stay on your machine

Provider API keys are validated on-device. Never proxied, never logged, never shipped to a Clawmont server.

Tamper-evident audit

Every prompt, tool call, and redaction is hash-chained to disk. Any edit breaks the chain and Clawmont flags it on the next boot.

This preview runs a deterministic subset of the engine: the full 4-port layer, stateful tracking, the full bypass-tested corpus, and the cost-gated LLM-judge run locally once installed. Some attacks get through here; that's honest security, not theater. Exact measured rates and methodology at the security page and security.clawmont.com.

Why not a free classifier?

Free tools like Meta PromptGuard chase a higher raw detection score, but raise false alarms on legitimate prompts. Clawmont catches prompt injection with zero false positives: no alert fatigue, no phantom threats to chase. It runs locally across all four ports, priced once for setup, not as an enterprise seat tax. See the honest side-by-side on the security page.

Who needs this most

If this is you,
an unguarded agent is a liability.

The teams that get burned usually aren't careless. They just never tested for the attack that hit them. Three setups where the risk is real:

Running it unattended

You let it run overnight

You want to wake up to finished work, not a leaked key or a wrecked repo because something it read told it to. Clawmont keeps an eye on what it does while you can't.

Plugged into your inbox

You gave it your email and Slack

Now one sketchy email or DM could quietly tell it to forward your data or delete a file. Clawmont checks what comes in first, so you're not trusting every message blindly.

Access to everything

It can see your whole codebase and keys

That's a lot to hand something that runs on its own. Clawmont is the safety net between "it works" and "it pasted my API key into a public PR."

Runs on OpenClaw

The local-first runtime underneath.

Clawmont runs as a plugin inside OpenClaw, the local-first AI agent runtime: any model, any tool, all on your machine. Start with a persona (Developer, Trader, SRE, or Researcher) for a role-tuned setup with curated MCP tools, or add Clawmont Security on its own.

Pricing

Set up once. Secure continuously.

Two things, priced separately. A persona is the one-time setup: a role-tuned OpenClaw install with curated tools. Clawmont Security is the four-port security layer, a monthly subscription, bundled or standalone. The security product is what protects you.

Step 1 Set up with a persona one-time

Single persona

$30one-time

Pick one of four personas.

Developer Trader SRE Researcher
  • A role-tuned AI persona: model routing, system prompt, and sensible defaults configured for you
  • Curated MCP servers + a skills bundle, locked to your role
  • Your provider keys stay on your machine, entered in your terminal, never on our servers
  • Upgrade to Apex later for $10, no re-tier

Pay now, choose your persona in onboarding.
