AI Agent Management: How I Took Back Control of My OpenClaw Setup

AI agent management is the missing layer between OpenClaw and the real world. 42,000 exposed instances, 824 malicious skills, $270/month token bills. I built a control layer that adds per-tool permissions, approval gates, independent audit logging, and mobile approval. Here's exactly how it works.
