IronClaw

IronClaw is an open-source AI agent platform designed to run tasks securely. It functions as a more protected alternative to OpenClaw, handling actions like web browsing, research, coding, and automation. The key difference is that your sensitive data, such as API keys and passwords, is stored in an encrypted vault and never exposed directly to the large language model (LLM) processing the requests. You can deploy it with one click on NEAR AI Cloud or run it locally.

It works by isolating every component for maximum security. Your credentials are stored in an encrypted vault and are only injected into outbound requests for pre-approved endpoints. Each tool or skill runs in its own WebAssembly sandbox, preventing any compromised tool from accessing others or the system. The entire platform is built in Rust, which provides memory safety at compile time and eliminates whole classes of common vulnerabilities. All outbound network traffic is scanned in real-time to block any attempt to exfiltrate secrets.

This tool is built for developers and teams using AI agents to handle sensitive operations. It's ideal for anyone who wants the automation capabilities of OpenClaw but is concerned about the security risks of feeding API keys and passwords to an LLM. Real-world use cases include secure research assistants that can access paid APIs, coding assistants that use private keys, and automation bots that handle business data without risking credential leaks.
