NVIDIA NemoClaw
NemoClaw is the safe, private runtime for autonomous AI agents. It provides sandboxed execution environments that protect your data, credentials, and infrastructure — agents run with exactly the permissions they need and nothing more, governed by declarative policies that prevent unauthorized file access, data exfiltration, and uncontrolled network activity.
Install and Create a Sandbox
NemoClaw is designed for minimal setup with safety and privacy built in from the start. Two commands take you from zero to a running, policy-enforced sandbox.
Prerequisites
The following are the prerequisites for the NemoClaw CLI.
- Docker must be running.
- Python 3.12+ is required.
Install the NemoClaw CLI
$ pip install nemoclaw
Create Your First NemoClaw Sandbox
::::{tab-set}
:::{tab-item} Claude Code
$ nemoclaw sandbox create -- claude
✓ Runtime ready
✓ Discovered Claude credentials (ANTHROPIC_API_KEY)
✓ Created sandbox: keen-fox
✓ Policy loaded (4 protection layers active)
Connecting to keen-fox...
Claude Code works out of the box with the default policy. :::
:::{tab-item} Community Sandbox
$ nemoclaw sandbox create --from openclaw
The --from flag pulls from the NemoClaw Community catalog --- a collection of domain-specific sandbox images bundled with their own containers, policies, and skills.
:::
::::
The agent runs with filesystem, network, process, and inference protection active. Credentials stay inside the sandbox, network access follows your policy, and inference traffic remains private. A single YAML policy controls all four protection layers and is hot-reloadable on a running sandbox.
For OpenCode or Codex, see the tutorial for agent-specific setup.
