Don't plan to call Del from another agent. It answers only the owner's messaging threads and web workspace.\n2. Tell the owner web browsing tasks are limited to five a month on Standard and unlimited on Pro.\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, Del or OpenClaw?\n\nOpenClaw scores 67.1 (B) on agent readiness against Del's 20.6 (F), and leads in every scored category.\n\n### Are Del and OpenClaw open source?\n\nNo open-source release is listed for Del.
