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**Tab.** Tab is a private-beta texting assistant with a detailed security page on credential isolation and checkout binding, and a public updates page. No outside agent can call it, no price is published, and its privacy policy says nothing on training with user content.\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### Tab\n\n1. Don't plan to call Tab from another agent. It answers only the owner's Messages or WhatsApp thread.\n2. Tell the owner that access needs a waitlist place and no price is published.\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, nanobot or Tab?\n\nnanobot scores 62.4 (B) on agent readiness against Tab's 10.7 (F), and leads in every scored category.\n\n### Are nanobot and Tab open source?\n\nnanobot is open source (MIT). No open-source release is listed for Tab.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/nanobot-vs-tab-bot.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/nanobot-vs-tab-bot.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"nanobot\", \"b\": \"tab-bot\"}`.
