Inside the container the agent runs with permission prompts off, network egress is open by default, and it can message any chat it is wired to without approval.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### DeepTutor\n\n1. Run `deeptutor run \u003ccapability\u003e \"...\" --format json` and read the `done` event's `session_id`; pass `--session` to continue the same session\n2. Configure with `deeptutor config apply setup.json --check` first, naming keys through `api_key_env`; literal keys are rejected\n3. Before exposing it beyond one machine, enable sign-in in `auth.json`, set exact `cors_origins` and set `BACKEND_HOST=127.0.0.1` where loopback is wanted\n4. Run 1.4.10 or later. Earlier versions carry CVE-2026-51870 (shell tool RCE, fixed in 1.4.1) and CVE-2026-58168 (multi-user MCP bypass)\n5. Set `sandbox_allow_subprocess` to false where generated code must run only in the runner sidecar or bubblewrap\n\n### NanoClaw\n\n1. Install with `git clone` and `bash nanoclaw.sh`. There is no registry package, and setup needs Docker, Node 22 or later and a Claude or Codex credential\n2. Set `NANOCLAW_EGRESS_LOCKDOWN=true` before giving an agent credentials or an audience of strangers. The default leaves egress open\n3. Put chats with different audiences in separate agent groups. Every session of a group shares one read-write workspace and memory tree\n4. Turn on per-request approval for a secret in the gateway when its use should wait for a person. It is off unless configured\n5. On OneCLI installs, move the gateway to 1.42.0 by the upgrade guide before updating to 2026.10.0. The updater stops until that is done\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, DeepTutor or NanoClaw?\n\nNanoClaw scores 68.6 (B) on agent readiness against DeepTutor's 62.7 (B), and leads in 4 of 7 scored categories. DeepTutor leads on maintenance \u0026 community.\n\n### Are DeepTutor and NanoClaw open source?\n\nYes. DeepTutor is open source (Apache-2.0). NanoClaw is open source (MIT).\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/deeptutor-vs-nanoclaw.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/deeptutor-vs-nanoclaw.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"deeptutor\", \"b\": \"nanoclaw\"}`.
