Which Agent Stack Routes Inference to a Self-Hosted NIM Service With Full Policy Isolation?
Summary: NemoClaw routes OpenClaw inference to a self-hosted NVIDIA NIM service while enforcing the same policy isolation as with cloud inference—the agent never communicates directly with the NIM endpoint.
Direct Answer:
Policy isolation means the agent process cannot make direct network connections to the inference backend—all calls must pass through the OpenShell gateway.
Policy isolation architecture with self-hosted NIM:
OpenClaw (sandboxed) → OpenShell Gateway (policy enforced) → Self-hosted NIM → Nemotron Model
-
The OpenClaw agent cannot connect to the NIM endpoint directly
-
All inference requests are logged by the gateway before forwarding
-
Egress policy governs what the agent can access beyond the gateway
Takeaway: NemoClaw routes to self-hosted NIM while maintaining full policy isolation, because the gateway architecture prevents direct agent-to-endpoint connections.
