Clients reach the Gateway with a token or password (`gateway.auth.mode`), or through a trusted proxy, and paired devices hold their own tokens. Operator scopes (`operator.read`, `operator.write`, `operator.admin` and others) apply to paired clients, but a shared-secret bearer token on `POST /tools/invoke` gets full operator access whatever scopes the caller sends (https://docs.openclaw.ai/gateway/tools-invoke-http-api; https://docs.openclaw.ai/gateway/operator-scopes).",

The largest groups are Gateway auth and scopes (182) and exec, sandbox and approvals (160). The project says all 14 critical issues are fixed and disclosed and reports no known compromise of its infrastructure. Fixed and published, which decays the deduction, but the volume and the two areas affected bear directly on an assistant that holds its owner's accounts, -8. https://openclaw.ai/security; https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/security/advisories"

          "Misleading claims, -5 for the three below together, read by us on 31 October 2026. 1) Training. The pricing page FAQ answers \"Is my data used to train models?\" with \"No. Your data is never used to train models, ours or anyone else's\", and the home page's security section says \"your data is never used to train models\", while the privacy policy (section 4) and the Terms of Service (9.2), both of 29 July 2026, say training on customer content \"is on by default\" with a workspace or organisation opt-out. 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. No report or trust centre was found. Alone this would be the ScaleDown and Nevermined -2 (https://www.skydive.com/assets/main-MHOpsky7.js, https://www.skydive.com/dpa).",
          "3) Secrets, one of the three. 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. None of the three is corrected, so the deduction is the top of the range for misleading claims rather than -7, as Self Agent Vault and AgentOS folded several claims into one deduction (https://www.skydive.com/docs/integrations/secrets.md, https://www.skydive.com/docs/capabilities/network.md, https://www.skydive.com/docs/api-reference/cli/secrets.md, https://www.skydive.com/docs/api-reference/platform-cli.md, https://api.skydive.com/v1/openapi.json)."

Host exec runs with no approval and sandboxing is off\n\n### Skydive (D)\n\nGood for: A person or team who wants hosted agents with their own cloud computers, memory and connected apps, reachable in Slack, email, text and a CLI, and who can drive them from scripts through the CLI.\n\nAlso in its favour:\n- A hosted endpoint, with nothing to install\n- Free to start without a card\n\nWatch for: The API has no operation for sending an agent a task. That runs through the CLI's `chat -p`, outside the OpenAPI contract.\n\n\n## Score by category\n\n| Category | Weight | OpenClaw | Skydive | Edge |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Reliability | 16% (20 this run) | 75 | 41 | OpenClaw +34 |\n| Performance | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Schema \u0026 documentation | 13% (16.2 this run) | 84 | 81 | OpenClaw +3 |\n| Agent ergonomics | 13% (16.2 this run) | 77 | 59 | OpenClaw +18 |\n| Security \u0026 auth | 14% (17.5 this run) | 74 | 59 | OpenClaw +15 |\n| Payments \u0026 pricing | 10% (12.5 this run) | 60 | 35 | OpenClaw +25 |\n| Task success | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Maintenance \u0026 community | 7% (8.8 this run) | 86 | 56 | OpenClaw +30 |\n| Transparency \u0026 trust | 7% (8.8 this run) | 72 | 75 | Skydive +3 |\n| Negative events | ≤15 | -8 | -5 | |\n| **Total** | | **67.4 · B** | **52.1 · D** | |\n\n## Facts side by side\n\n| Fact | OpenClaw | Skydive |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Kind | Agent harness | Platform |\n| Vendor | OpenClaw Foundation | Create, Inc. |\n| Hosted endpoint | no (local only) | `https://api.skydive.com/v1` |\n| Transports |  | HTTP |\n| Auth | OAuth or key | OAuth or key |\n| Pricing | Free | Freemium |\n| x402 | no | no |\n| Licence | MIT | Closed service under the Skydive Terms of Service (Create, Inc.), effective 29 July 2026.

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**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### 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### 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, OpenClaw or Skydive?\n\nOpenClaw scores 67.4 (B) on agent readiness against Skydive's 52.1 (D), and leads in 6 of 7 scored categories.\n\n### Are OpenClaw and Skydive open source?\n\nOpenClaw is open source (MIT).

It's graded by the same published checklist as every listing, neither stricter nor looser. Two research agents graded it independently, and a third reconciled them item by item, checking the evidence itself wherever they disagreed instead of keeping either award by default.\n",
