Ahead on: - Reliability, 70 against 41 - Schema & documentation, 68 against 0 - Agent ergonomics, 67 against 0 - Security & auth, 60 against 8 Also in its favour: - No key needed to call it - Runs on your own machine Watch for: Usage data is on by default, `qwenpaw init --defaults` accepts it without a prompt, and the opt-out variable is absent from the README and docs ### Talorys (F) Good for: A single person who wants a private assistant for memory, tasks, notes and reminders on their own Cloudflare account. Ahead on: - Maintenance & community, 83 against 73 Also in its favour: - No incidents deducted, where QwenPaw loses 3 points for them Watch for: No API key, MCP server or A2A endpoint, and the /api routes need the owner's browser session. ## Score by category | Category | Weight | QwenPaw | Talorys | Edge | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Reliability | 16% (20 this run) | 70 | 41 | QwenPaw +29 | | Performance | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run | | Schema & documentation | 13% (16.2 this run) | 68 | 0 | QwenPaw +68 | | Agent ergonomics | 13% (16.2 this run) | 67 | 0 | QwenPaw +67 | | Security & auth | 14% (17.5 this run) | 60 | 8 | QwenPaw +52 | | Payments & pricing | 10% (12.5 this run) | 60 | 60 | even | | Task success | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run | | Maintenance & community | 7% (8.8 this run) | 73 | 83 | Talorys +10 | | Transparency & trust | 7% (8.8 this run) | 56 | 52 | QwenPaw +4 | | Negative events | ≤15 | -3 | 0 | | | **Total** | | **62.2 · B** | **28.9 · F** | | ## Facts side by side | Fact | QwenPaw | Talorys | | --- | --- | --- | | Kind | Agent harness | Platform | | Vendor | AgentScope | Roc Yu (rociiu) and contributors | | Hosted endpoint | no (local only) | no (local only) | | Transports | HTTP, stdio | | | Auth | None | OAuth or key | | Pricing | Free | Free | | x402 | no | no | | Licence | Apache-2.0 | MIT (Copyright 2026 The Talorys contributors).

Usage data is sent by default, the default approval level passes every tool call no rule flags, and no privacy policy or security advisory is published. **Talorys.** Talorys is an MIT-licensed assistant its owner deploys to their own Cloudflare account, with no telemetry, a documented threat model and code-enforced confirmation for destructive tools. It is two days old at version 0.1.5, has no mail, calendar or payment connections, and no interface for an outside agent. ## Before you call either ### QwenPaw 1. Set `QWENPAW_TELEMETRY_DISABLED=true` before `qwenpaw init --defaults` or `qwenpaw app`. Both send usage data without asking 2. Set `approval_level` to `STRICT` or `SMART` in `agent.json`. The default `AUTO` runs every tool call no guard rule flags 3. Set `dm_policy` and `group_policy` to `allowlist` with `allow_from` on each channel. Both default to `open` 4. Set `QWENPAW_AUTH_ENABLED=true` before binding beyond 127.0.0.1. Requests from localhost skip login even then 5. Keep mail tools on `ask` for `send_message`, `delete_message` and `delete_thread`, and turn on Mail Access Control with automatic handling ### Talorys 1. Run `npx create-talorys@latest` with Node.js 22 or later and a Cloudflare login or an API token with Workers, Pages and Workers AI permissions. 2. Don't script the /api routes. They need the owner's session cookie and CSRF header and aren't documented for other callers. 3. Update with `npx create-talorys@latest update`. Only the latest version gets security fixes. ## Questions ### Which is better for AI agents, QwenPaw or Talorys?

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.
