What openclaw_send_session does on LocalAnt
AI agents invoke openclaw_send_session to trigger actions in LocalAnt. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.
Why openclaw_send_session is rated High
Sending a message to an external session (OpenClaw) constitutes triggering an external operation whose effects depend on the message content. Given the server context (shell, browser automation), the session could execute arbitrary actions. Confidence is reduced due to the DEPRECATED flag and lack of detail about what OpenClaw is or does.
From the tool's definition 'Send a message to an OpenClaw session' — triggers external operation on a running session; server description mentions 'shell commands, browser automation' context; marked DEPRECATED

The rule that runs openclaw_send_session safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and LocalAnt, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For openclaw_send_session, this is the rule to start with:
openclaw_send_session stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect LocalAnt, apply this rule, and every openclaw_send_session call is checked against it from then on.

openclaw_send_session is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the openclaw_send_session rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
