Show HN: SafeClaw – Sleep-by-default AI assistant with runtime tool permissions
rawaldelhi Monday, February 16, 2026
I studied OpenClaw and built a more secure alternative. Key differences:
- Dormant by default (only wakes on /wake command from owner) - All tools disabled by default (you /enable on demand) - Dangerous actions require /confirm before executing - Single-owner auth (strangers silently dropped, zero info leak) - Full audit log of every action
Built as a working TypeScript prototype with Telegram integration. Next step: connect real AI agent (Claude/GPT) and add WhatsApp support.
Curious what HN thinks about this security model for AI assistants.
Summary
SafeClaw is an open-source security tool designed to help developers and security researchers identify and mitigate potential vulnerabilities in cloud-hosted applications. The tool provides automated scanning and risk assessment capabilities to detect common security issues and offers remediation guidance.
