| Approval model | Help center states external actions such as sending emails or posting messages require permission; messaging channels default to a pairing mode where only approved contacts can message Claw. Scheduled tasks and the optional Heartbeat mode run in the background without a prompt. | Auto Review evaluates tool calls and computer actions before they run, with user rules set to Ask first or Allow automatically; Ask first wins when both match. Before actions it cannot undo, such as sending, posting, buying or deleting, a Bot checks for approval; emails go out from draft cards and purchases show an Allow or Deny card. Running commands on the user's own computer defaults to Ask every time. |
