What we couldn't confirm2
- Whether OpenClaw can act on files and apps the way the listed closed apps do is not confirmed beyond the README's general description of tools and skills.
- Setup needs a terminal and the list notes broad computer access; the README confirms tools run on the host by default unless sandboxing is configured.
