Topic

ClawKeeper: Comprehensive Safety Protection for OpenClaw Agents Through Skills, Plugins, and Watchers

TL;DR: ClawKeeper introduces a unified, real-time security framework for the OpenClaw agent runtime, combining skill‑based, plugin‑based, and watcher‑based defenses to stop model errors from becoming system‑level threats.

Why now: OpenClaw’s rapid adoption as an open‑source autonomous agent runtime has expanded its privileged capabilities (tool use, file access, shell execution), turning benign model mistakes into serious risks like data leakage and privilege escalation; existing protections are fragmented and insufficient.

1. Skill‑based protection injects enforceable policies directly into the agent context, providing fine‑grained, environment‑specific constraints without modifying the agent’s core logic. 2. Plugin‑based protection runs as an internal enforcer, offering continuous behavioral monitoring, configuration hardening, and proactive threat detection throughout the execution pipeline

Problem

MiroEval addresses limitations of existing deep research system benchmarks by introducing a comprehensive evaluation framework that assesses adaptive synthesis, agentic factuality verification, and process-centric auditing across real-user tasks.

Method

To address these gaps, we introduce MiroEval, a benchmark and evaluation framework for deep research systems .

Results

MiroEval addresses limitations of existing deep research system benchmarks by introducing a comprehensive evaluation framework that assesses adaptive synthesis, agentic factuality verification, and process-centric auditing across real-user tasks.

Watch-outs

The summary does not include concrete numbers, so the practical size of the gain and the tradeoff against latency or data cost are still unclear.

ViGoR-Bench: How Far Are Visual Generative Models From Zero-Shot Visual Reasoners?

TL;DR: ViGoR benchmark addresses limitations in current AIGC evaluation by introducing a comprehensive framework for assessing visual generative reasoning across multiple modalities and cognitive dimensions.

Problem

Beneath the stunning visual fidelity of modern AIGC models lies a "logical desert", where systems fail tasks that require physical, causal, or complex spatial reasoning.

Method

To address this, we introduce ViGoR Vision-G}nerative Reasoning-centric Benchmark), a unified framework designed to dismantle this mirage.

Results

Current evaluations largely rely on superficial metrics or fragmented benchmarks, creating a `` performance mirage '' that overlooks the generative process.

Watch-outs

The summary does not include concrete numbers, so the practical size of the gain and the tradeoff against latency or data cost are still unclear.

Problem

Vision2Web presents a comprehensive benchmark for visual website development tasks and evaluates coding agents across static UI generation, interactive frontend reproduction, and full-stack development with varying complexity levels.

Method

To address this gap, we introduce Vision2Web, a hierarchical benchmark for visual website development , spanning from static UI-to-code generation , interactive multi-page frontend reproduction , to long-horizon full-stack website development .

Results

Recent advances in large language models have improved the capabilities of coding agents , yet systematic evaluation of complex, end-to-end website development remains limited.

Simple terminal-based coding agents using programmatic interfaces and foundation models can effectively perform enterprise tasks comparable to or better than complex tool-augmented agents.

Method

There has been growing interest in building agents that can interact with digital platforms to execute meaningful enterprise tasks autonomously.

Results

We evaluate this hypothesis across diverse real-world systems and show that these low-level terminal agents match or outperform more complex agent architectures.
