NemoClaw is an open-source stack from NVIDIA intended to facilitate the secure operation of always-on AI assistants. It installs the NVIDIA OpenShell runtime—part of the NVIDIA Agent Toolkit—and offers a protected environment for autonomous agents powered by models such as NVIDIA Nemotron.
This platform organizes several elements, including a CLI plugin, a system for versioned blueprints, and a containerized sandbox that applies firm policies concerning network access, file system operations, and routing for inference. Each request from an agent—like network requests or model inference—is subject to declarative security policies.
With the nemoclaw CLI, developers are enabled to launch and oversee agents, connect via a terminal interface, and direct model inference by means of NVIDIA cloud APIs, local NIM deployments, or vLLM setups. The system places importance on secure execution through layered protections like control of network egress, isolation of the filesystem, and restricted system calls.
