Based on 5 sampled comments from this thread. Analyzed 2026-02-28.
- Praise: Incremental permission granting and recovery options, like snapshots, can enhance safety when using AI agents, allowing for controlled experimentation and risk management.
- Concern: The sheer size of OpenClaw's codebase raises significant security concerns, as it becomes difficult to ensure thorough review and trust in the system's reliability.
- Concern: Current guardrails for AI agents are insufficient to prevent potential misuse, indicating a need for a fundamentally different approach to AI safety.
- Concern: Allowing agents to modify their own code could lead to the removal of essential safety measures, posing a serious risk to users.
