Managed OpenClaw Hosting
OpenClaw is the most popular open-source AI agent framework — 313K+ GitHub stars, 700+ contributors, and growing. But running it safely in production is hard:
- 6+ CVEs disclosed in 3 weeks (including CVSS 8.8 RCE)
- 2,419 malicious skills removed from ClawHub in the ClawHavoc cleanup
- 42,665 publicly exposed instances found, 93.4% vulnerable (January 2026 security report)
- $3,600/mo average API overspend from runaway agent loops
Curate-Me is a managed governance layer for OpenClaw. You keep your config. We add security, cost control, and a full ops console.
How It Works
One environment variable change. Zero code changes.
# Before (direct to provider — no governance):
OPENAI_BASE_URL=https://api.openai.com/v1
# After (through Curate-Me — full governance):
OPENAI_BASE_URL=https://api.curate-me.ai/v1/openai
X-CM-API-Key=cm_sk_xxxEvery LLM request passes through the Curate-Me gateway, which applies a 5-step governance chain before forwarding to the upstream provider:
- Rate Limiting — Per-org, per-key request throttling
- Cost Estimation — Token-level cost estimate vs daily budget
- PII Scanning — 14 regex patterns + Presidio NER for secrets and PII
- Model Allowlists — Enforce which models each org can use
- HITL Approvals — Human approval for high-cost or sensitive operations
If any check fails, the request is denied before it reaches the provider.
