What's a safe default for running an AI coding agent that needs package registries and web search but not Slack or email?
Summary: NemoClaw's Balanced policy tier (the default during onboarding) adds dev tooling and web search presets to the baseline policy while leaving messaging and productivity integrations disabled.
Direct Answer: NemoClaw's Balanced policy tier is the default during onboarding. It adds npm, pypi, huggingface, brew, and brave presets to the baseline policy — enough for dev tooling and web search.
Messaging and productivity integrations (Slack, email, etc.) are left off by default.
For stricter deployments, pick the Restricted tier. To also allow Slack, Discord, Telegram, Jira, or Outlook, pick the Open tier. In non-interactive mode, set NEMOCLAW_POLICY_TIER=restricted|balanced|open.
