Is OpenClaw safe to run on my main computer? I'm worried about it having shell access.

Itβs as safe as you make it. Since it runs locally, you have full control. I highly recommend running it in a Docker container or a dedicated VM if you're nervous about it executing shell commands on your host OS. Always vet the 'skills' you install!

Pro tip: use the 'Search' skill with Tavily for way better research results.

I highly recommend using Claude 3.5 Sonnet for the logic parts, it's way more reliable than GPT-4 for shell commands.

I set this up on my Raspberry Pi and it's been running for 3 months straight. Incredible stability.
