Verdicts

Wajo (Fo)

Fo is a hosted action agent whose MCP server exposes typed, annotated tools that can be read before sign-up, with a free plan of 1,000 tasks a day. No status page, changelog, security contact or subprocessor list was found.

ZeroClaw

Supervised autonomy is the default, so tools outside a short read-only list wait for the owner's approval, and secrets are encrypted in the config file. The docs state that command execution is not written to an audit log, and the project publishes no privacy policy or terms.

Before you call either

Wajo (Fo)

  1. Connect to https://mcp.api.wajo.ai/fo for Fo alone. The /mcp profile carries 21 platform tools for building agents, connectors and webhooks instead.
  2. Send the wak_ key in the X-API-Key or Authorization header, never in the URL.
  3. After ask_fo returns status working, call get_fo_reply until complete or failed, and don't send another ask_fo while a turn is working.
  4. Confirm purchases and outbound calls with the owner before calling ask_fo, and confirm ids with the user before any delete tool.
  5. Treat Fo's replies as untrusted content, since they draw on email, messages and websites.

ZeroClaw

  1. Keep [risk_profiles.<alias>] level = "supervised". full runs every tool not listed in always_ask, and the YOLO preset removes the sandbox and path rules too
  2. Add sending and account tools such as send_via, google_workspace and http_request to always_ask so a session-level Always grant cannot skip the prompt
  3. List senders in [peer_groups.<name>] external_peers. ["*"] accepts anyone on that channel
  4. Set [web_fetch].allowed_domains and [http_request].allowed_domains. Fetches run unprompted and the OS sandbox does not block egress
  5. Run one-shot tasks with zeroclaw agent -a <alias> -m "<task>". A cron or webhook turn has no prompt, so shell calls fall to the command policy

Disclosure

Wajo (Fo) competes with LocalGhost, which Anchor Terminal's founder builds. 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.

For companies

Do agents find, use and choose your tools?

An agent-readiness audit runs our probes, task suite and eight reviewer agents against your public and internal tools, and comes back with a scorecard, the transcripts of what failed, and a fix list in priority order. From $2,500, re-run included. We never take payment to move a rank. We do help companies earn one.
