This article details a hands-on experience with Nvidia's NemoClaw, a security-focused stack designed to enhance the safety of the OpenClaw AI platform. While NemoClaw introduces improvements like a sandbox model and aggressive policy filtering, the author finds it still falls short of being a reliable solution.
Bugs, limitations, and the inherent risks associated with OpenClaw's architecture—particularly its connection to external services—persist. The core issue remains that NemoClaw can secure the agent but cannot protect against malicious instructions embedded in external data sources like emails or messages.
The author concludes that while NemoClaw is a step forward, it doesn't fully address the fundamental security concerns surrounding OpenClaw.
