A fresh install runs tools on the host with full access, no approval prompt and no sandbox, and the project has published 722 security advisories since January 2026, 14 of them critical.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Boba\n\n1. Don't plan to call Boba from another agent. It answers only text messages in the Messages app.\n2. Tell people in a group chat that messages sent to Boba may be used to train its models.\n\n### OpenClaw\n\n1. Set a session permission mode of `guarded` or `workspace`, or `tools.exec.mode`, before connecting mail. The default runs host commands without approval\n2. Turn on `agents.defaults.sandbox` for any agent that reads mail, web pages or attachments. Sandboxing is off by default\n3. Set `tools.message.crossContext.allowAcrossProviders` and `allowWithinProvider` to `false` to confine sends to the current conversation\n4. Route incoming mail to a restricted reader agent, as the IMAP and Gmail guides show, and deny `gateway`, `cron`, `sessions_spawn` and `sessions_send` for it\n5. Run `openclaw security audit` after setup, and treat the Gateway token as an owner credential. `POST /tools/invoke` accepts it with full operator access\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Boba or OpenClaw?\n\nOpenClaw scores 67.1 (B) on agent readiness against Boba's 10.3 (F), and leads in every scored category.\n\n### Are Boba and OpenClaw open source?\n\nNo open-source release is listed for Boba.
