The Core of Autonomy: Agent Runtime
In the OpenClaw ecosystem, Autonomous Agents are not merely scripts; they are persistent entities capable of goal-oriented reasoning. These agents operate within a dedicated Agent Runtime, a controlled execution environment that bridges high-level logic with low-level browser drivers.
The Security of Session Isolation
To maintain system integrity and prevent data leakage, we implement Session Isolation. Every task assigned to an agent is executed in a sandboxed browser environment. This ensures:
- Clean States: No cookies or cache interference between different tasks.
- Conflict Prevention: Multiple agents can run concurrently without "State Corruption."
- Security: Threats are confined to the specific isolated session.
The Operational Backbone: PIV Workflow
The PIV Workflow (Planning-Interaction-Verification) is the lifecycle that governs every agent action:
- Planning: Decomposing a request into actionable steps based on UI state.
- Interaction: Executing the step (e.g., clicking, typing) via the Tools Layer.
- Verification: Observing the new state to confirm the action succeeded before proceeding.
