No public page read says which actions need approval, which accounts it connects or how their tokens are kept, and it names no model provider or sub-processor.\n\n**OpenClaw.** Self-hosted under the MIT licence, with state, memory and credentials kept on the owner's machine and no paid tier. 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### Haven\n\n1. Haven has no documented API or MCP server. An outside agent can reach it only through the owner's channels (call, SMS, email, app).\n2. Do not assume an approval step before Haven sends mail, texts or calls. None is documented on the public pages.\n3. Email Haven sends to other people names Hello Haven as sender and says it was sent on the user's behalf, per the terms.\n4. Chat messages, history, profile context and uploaded files go to third-party AI model providers that the vendor does not name.\n5. Check status.hellohaven.ai before relying on phone or voice. All four published incidents affected those channels.\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, Haven or OpenClaw?\n\nOpenClaw scores 67.1 (B) on agent readiness against Haven's 22.2 (F), and leads in every scored category.\n\n### Are Haven and OpenClaw open source?\n\nNo open-source release is listed for Haven. OpenClaw is open source (MIT).\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/haven-vs-openclaw.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/haven-vs-openclaw.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"haven\", \"b\": \"openclaw\"}`.
