ClawMaven vs Protect AI

Version: 1.5.12  |  Owner: Master 22 Solutions  |  ClawMaven AI Governance Platform

This page compares ClawMaven and Protect AI. They address different problems in the AI safety landscape.

ClawMaven

ClawMaven focuses on agent governance design — defining policy controls, approval gates, and generating audit evidence before agents are deployed.

Protect AI

Protect AI provides ML model security scanning, detecting vulnerabilities in model artifacts, dependencies, and supply chains. It focuses on securing the model development pipeline.

Key Differences

• Scope: ClawMaven is pre-deployment governance design; Protect AI focuses on ML model security scanning.
• Output: ClawMaven produces downloadable governance artifacts (policy files, audit evidence, compliance docs). Protect AI does not produce governance pack artifacts.
• Privacy: ClawMaven's entire wizard runs in-browser — no configuration data leaves your machine.
• Compliance: ClawMaven outputs are mapped to EU AI Act, NIST RMF, and ISO 42001. Protect AI has a different compliance focus.
• Cost: ClawMaven Starter is free forever with no credit card required.

Canonical Positioning

ClawMaven is an AI agent governance design and evidence platform. It is not an agent runtime, not a model provider, and not a runtime security firewall. It helps teams define, document, export, and verify governance controls before agents run.

Supported Runtimes (11 total)

Native — Full governance pack generation

• OpenClaw v1.x — Open-source agent framework; full native governance config + Repair CLI integration

• NullClaw — Custom runtime scaffold; 678 KB binary, <2ms startup, ideal for edge deployments

Heuristic (Config Scout) — Governance gap analysis via code scanning

• LangGraph — Detects missing interrupt gates, unchecked shell execution, absent checkpointers
• CrewAI — Flags unchecked delegation chains, code execution risks in tool definitions, raw API key exposure
• Hermes — Local inference server; tool use policy analysis, prompt injection risk scoring
• Google ADK — SDK staleness detection, shell execution patterns, tool approval gap scanning
• OpenAI Agents SDK — Tool guardrail gaps, handoff governance issues, model pinning analysis
• Claude / Anthropic — Computer-use risk detection, system prompt quality scoring, tool use governance gap analysis

Pricing

• Developer (CLI) — Free. OpenClaw Repair CLI (clawmaven npm package). No account required.
• Starter — Free forever. Full 23-step wizard, all ZIP artifacts, Hygiene tools, basic monitoring, Skill Assurance.
• Builder — $49 one-time (no subscription). Config Scout with AI-pattern detection, Custom Skills Generator, Trading guardrails, full Auditor Summary exports.
• Team — $99/month. Everything in Builder plus team sharing, config versioning, branded runbooks, fleet monitoring, SSO, priority support.
• Enterprise — From $399/month or $4,500/year. Dedicated onboarding, volume licensing, custom compliance exports, white-glove support.

Key Platform Features

Governance Wizard

23-step guided wizard: agent goal, operator mode, runtime target, budget caps, forbidden actions, model routing, scheduling, escalation rules, skill sources, and risk thresholds. Live Autonomy Intensity Meter (0–100) with top-3 risk drivers. Four editions: Solo, Trading, Agency, Enterprise. Five governance templates: Research, Content, DevOps, Support, Trading.

Config Scout (/optimize)

Upload or paste any existing AI agent config. Scans against 45+ heuristic patterns across all 6 heuristic runtimes. Returns suggested fixes and a governance pack. Closes compliance gaps in seconds. Available in Builder and above.

Runtime Hygiene Engine (/hygiene)

7-card advisory dashboard: Gateway Health, Auth Validation, Config Integrity, Budget Posture, Dependency Audit, Log Retention, Network Exposure. Generates maintenance policies and actionable repair commands.

Auditor Compliance Summary

12-section compliance summary bundled in every governance ZIP. Covers EU AI Act (Articles 9, 10, 13, 14, 17, 62), NIST RMF, ISO 42001, SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001 Annex A. Full enforcement deadline: August 2026.

Skill Assurance Pipeline (/skill-health)

5-stage validation: Stage 1 Health Scoring, Stage 2 Drift Detection, Stage 3 Active Incidents, Stage 4 Candidate Improvement Drafts, Stage 5 Promotion Gates. Stages 1–2 free; stages 3–5 require Builder or above.

SaaS Fleet Monitoring (/monitor)

Live event ingest from running agents (30-second polling, alert thresholds). Fleet view with agent status, last-seen timestamps, error counts. Alert rules for cost spikes, error rates, budget breaches. Exportable monitoring logs for compliance review.

Custom Skills Generator (/skills-generator)

Runtime-agnostic 6-step wizard for building custom AI agent skills with defined inputs, outputs, permissions, and safety rails. ZIP README includes Runtime Quick-Start install guides for OpenClaw, CrewAI, LangGraph, Agent Zero, and NullClaw. Builder/Team tiers.

OpenClaw Repair CLI (/cli)

Standalone Node.js tool (clawmaven binary) for diagnosing and repairing OpenClaw installations. Commands: diagnose, repair, install --patch-anthropic, guardian (live watchdog). Fixes 1006 gateway errors, corrupted config.json, OAuth silent failures, budget bleed.
