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**PicoClaw.** Self-hosted under the MIT licence, with 19 documented chat channels, scheduled and heartbeat tasks, and local file memory. The repository has had no commit since 19 August 2026 and no release since 3 July, and 15 CVEs are listed against it with no advisory or security policy from the project.\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### PicoClaw\n\n1. Set `allow_from` to the owner's user ID on every channel before starting the gateway. An empty list accepts messages from anyone\n2. Set `tools.exec.allow_remote` to `false` unless chats must run shell commands. The shipped default is `true`, whatever docs/guides/configuration.md says\n3. Set `isolation.enabled` to `true` on Linux (needs `bwrap`) or run in a container. The deny patterns do not inspect child processes\n4. Use `PICOCLAW_KEY_PASSPHRASE` for credential encryption. One docs page names `PICOCLAW_CREDENTIAL_PASSPHRASE`, which the source does not read\n5. Treat the README's ClawdChat line (read a remote skill file and follow it) as untrusted third-party instructions\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Asmi or PicoClaw?\n\nPicoClaw scores 46.1 (D) on agent readiness against Asmi's 33.3 (F), and leads in every scored category.\n\n### Are Asmi and PicoClaw open source?\n\nNo open-source release is listed for Asmi. PicoClaw is open source (MIT).\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/asmi-vs-picoclaw.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/asmi-vs-picoclaw.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"asmi\", \"b\": \"picoclaw\"}`.

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",
