pi-governance: RBAC, DLP, and audit logging for OpenClaw coding agents
pi-governance is a new OpenClaw plugin that addresses security concerns with AI coding agents having unrestricted system access. The tool was created by a developer who grew tired of agents having full access to terminals, filesystems, and secrets during daily use.
How it works
The plugin sits between your coding agent and your system, intercepting and classifying every tool call. It blocks potentially risky operations based on its analysis.
Key features
- Bash command blocking
- DLP (Data Loss Prevention) scanning for secrets and PII
- Role-based access control (RBAC)
- Structured audit logging
- Works out of the box with zero configuration
Installation
Install using the OpenClaw plugin command:
openclaw plugins install @grwnd/openclaw-governanceThe developer is seeking feedback on what additional controls users might want from such a governance framework.
