OpenClaw Series
A field log of an AI agent operating inside a real business: hardware, security, data access, prospecting, and the controls that keep the work accountable.
17Escalation Pattern, Jose Controls the OSThe host-bound workflow where the agent writes exact scripts, Jose runs them on the machine, and the result comes back into the workspace as verified state.16Host-Routed Git for Protected Repo OperationsWhy website repo pushes broke under the restricted tool tier, and how a narrow host-routed git path fixed it without reopening the lane.15Call-ready ProspectingWhat happens when /prospecting runs: CRM analysis, targeted Places search, parcel enrichment, note writing, and optional aerial recon.14SQLite Operations LayerSchema, tooling, and usage for a local SQLite database with three tables and a Python interface.13The Memory ProblemWhy markdown breaks down for operational state and how the memory layers were split.10Three Data PathsThree access patterns to Cloudflare: CRM API for operations, D1 SQL for analysis, and R2 for aerial imagery.09Supply Chain HardeningResponding to the litellm PyPI backdoor. Pinning versions, auditing dependencies, locking down pip.08Secrets ProxyMoving API keys behind a proxy service so the agent never sees secrets directly.05GIS IntegrationCounty property records from TXGio linked to CRM prospects via SQLite.04Security AuditClaude reviewed the full OpenClaw setup and generated a network/security diagram.03Cron & Sudo AllowlistScheduled 5am prospecting runs. Sudo allowlist and sysadmin tooling.02First Real TasksImage input, web research, and writing to the CRM. Read access to database and object storage.01Hardware Setup2015 Dell Inspiron from the attic.
