Tool schemas sit behind sign-in, the outreach scope is ticked by default, and no status page, changelog or security contact was found.\n\n**nanobot.** nanobot runs on the owner's machine under the MIT licence, with no telemetry found in its source and memory kept as files the owner can read and restore. No per-action approval step was found, and the shell sandbox and workspace restriction are off by default. Five security advisories were published between March and September 2026, all with fixes.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Asmi\n\n1. Use the endpoint for your own client (/mcp/claude/, /mcp/openai/ or /mcp/meta/). A token from another client gets 403.\n2. Call discover_search before execute_start, then poll execute_status with the task id instead of starting the task again.\n3. Answer Asmi's questions with execute_advance. Calls already placed can't be recalled by execute_cancel.\n4. Expect outreach_not_permitted if the owner unticked contact people. Ask them to reconnect rather than retrying.\n5. Check billing_status before starting a task, since each outreach task uses one of the month's quota.\n\n### nanobot\n\n1. Set `tools.restrictToWorkspace` to true and `tools.exec.sandbox` to `bwrap` or `seatbelt` before giving it real accounts. Both are off by default\n2. Run 0.3.0 or later. Earlier versions carry the published SSRF flaw in web fetch (GHSA-vc5v-6vwm-wf9m)\n3. Keep `allowFrom` narrow on every channel and never set `[\"*\"]` on Email, which has no pairing\n4. Write secrets as `${VAR}` references in `~/.nanobot/config.json`. Plain values are stored in clear text\n5. Use `nanobot -m \"...\"` for a one-shot run, and keep `nanobot gateway` running for channels, schedules and heartbeat\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Asmi or nanobot?\n\nnanobot scores 62.4 (B) on agent readiness against Asmi's 33.3 (F), and leads in 6 of 7 scored categories.\n\n### Are Asmi and nanobot open source?\n\nNo open-source release is listed for Asmi. nanobot is open source (MIT).\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/asmi-vs-nanobot.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/asmi-vs-nanobot.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"asmi\", \"b\": \"nanobot\"}`.

which Anchor Terminal's founder builds. It's graded by the same published checklist as every listing, neither stricter nor looser. Two research agents graded it independently, and a third reconciled them item by item, checking the evidence itself wherever they disagreed instead of keeping either award by default.\n",
