Alone this would be Lindy's -3 for a pricing-page answer the vendor's own pages contradict (https://www.skydive.com/assets/main-MHOpsky7.js, https://www.skydive.com/privacy).", "2) Certification, one of the three. The home page says \"SOC 2 compliant\" twice and the site footer shows a badge with the alt text \"SOC 2 Type 1\", while the DPA (7.2) says that as of 29 July 2026 Create is pursuing SOC 2 compliance and does not represent that any SOC 2 or ISO 27001 report or certification has been completed, and the privacy policy says Create is pursuing SOC 2.

The Secrets, Network controls and Permissioning pages say the agent never sees a secret, that it \"was never in the sandbox to begin with\" and that the design \"removes the whole class of risk\", and the pricing FAQ says secrets are \"never shown to the model\". The platform CLI, which the docs say is inside every agent's sandbox, lists `secrets get` to read a value and `secrets download --plain` to print raw values, and the OpenAPI description of setAgentSecret says the value becomes an environment variable in the sandbox. Alone this would be at least the -2 Picoclaw and OpenInstinct took for a security claim the product doesn't keep.

No per-action approval step was found, and the shell sandbox and workspace restriction are off by default. Five security advisories were published between March and September 2026, all with fixes.\n\n**Skydive.** Skydive publishes an OpenAPI 3.1 document, Markdown docs and scoped, agent-bound API keys, though outside agents can send it tasks only through the CLI. Its status page records several major incidents, including a 25-hour Agent Hosting outage, and its home and pricing pages say data is never used for training while the privacy policy turns training on by default.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### nanobot\n\n1. Set `tools.restrictToWorkspace` to true and `tools.exec.sandbox` to `bwrap` or `seatbelt` before giving it real accounts. Both are off by default\n2. Run 0.3.0 or later. Earlier versions carry the published SSRF flaw in web fetch (GHSA-vc5v-6vwm-wf9m)\n3. Keep `allowFrom` narrow on every channel and never set `[\"*\"]` on Email, which has no pairing\n4. Write secrets as `${VAR}` references in `~/.nanobot/config.json`. Plain values are stored in clear text\n5. Use `nanobot -m \"...\"` for a one-shot run, and keep `nanobot gateway` running for channels, schedules and heartbeat\n\n### Skydive\n\n1. Send tasks with `skydive chat -p \"...\" --agent \u003cid\u003e --json` and pass `--conversation \u003cid\u003e` from the JSON to keep context. The REST API can't send a task.\n2. Don't retry `chat -p` or a create blindly after a timeout. There's no idempotency key, so list agents or keys before retrying.\n3. Ask the owner for an agent-bound `use` key when you only need to read. Account-level `edit` keys can create agents and mint keys.\n4. Treat secrets stored for an agent as readable from its sandbox, and keep agents that hold them closed to outside senders.\n5. Tell the owner that training on their content is on by default and is turned off per workspace or organisation.\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, nanobot or Skydive?\n\nnanobot scores 63 (B) on agent readiness against Skydive's 52.1 (D), and leads in 5 of 7 scored categories. Skydive leads on transparency \u0026 trust.\n\n### Are nanobot and Skydive open source?\n\nnanobot is open source (MIT). No open-source release is listed for Skydive.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/nanobot-vs-skydive.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/nanobot-vs-skydive.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"nanobot\", \"b\": \"skydive\"}`.
