Security

What Is Agent Isolation?

The separation of AI agents into isolated environments so that one compromised agent cannot affect others.

In Plain English

Agent isolation ensures that each agent runs in its own sandbox. If Agent A is compromised via prompt injection, it cannot access Agent B's data, tools, or credentials.

Clawctl achieves isolation through per-agent Docker containers with separate network namespaces, credential stores, and file systems. In multi-tenant environments, tenant isolation ensures complete separation between different customers' agents.

Why It Matters for OpenClaw

Without isolation, one compromised agent can lateral-move to other agents, accessing all their tools and data. Isolation contains the blast radius of any security incident.

How Clawctl Helps

Clawctl deploys each agent in an isolated Docker container with separate credentials, network namespace, and file system. Multi-tenant isolation ensures complete separation between customer environments.

Common Questions

What level of isolation does Clawctl provide?

Per-agent Docker containers with network isolation, separate credential stores, and independent file systems.

Can agents communicate with each other?

Only through configured orchestration patterns. Direct inter-agent access is blocked by default.

What about multi-tenant isolation?

Complete separation between tenants. No shared resources, credentials, or data access.
