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**szn.** szn is an errand assistant in early access that makes calls, sends emails and books for its owner, free during the preview for people with an access code. No outside agent can call it, no terms of service or legal entity appear in its policies, and its privacy policy says nothing on training.\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### szn\n\n1. Don't plan to call szn from another agent. It answers only its web app, iMessage, SMS and email for the owner.\n2. Tell the owner they need an access code to start, and that the acceptable use policy makes them responsible for confirming actions.\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, OpenClaw or szn?\n\nOpenClaw scores 67.1 (B) on agent readiness against szn's 7.3 (F), and leads in every scored category.\n\n### Are OpenClaw and szn open source?\n\nOpenClaw is open source (MIT).
