Who You Gonna Call? Taming OpenClaw's Rogue AI Agents with OpenTelemetry and Tetragon

There's something strange in your infrastructure. Who you gonna call?
OpenClaw , the open source AI agent formerly known as Clawdbot, then Moltbot exploded past 150,000 GitHub stars in weeks. It connects LLMs to your messaging platforms, terminal, and file system, giving AI full autonomous control. But like a Ghostbusters ghost, it wreaks havoc: $20 in tokens burned overnight to check the time, a one-click RCE (CVE-2026-25253), 21,000 exposed instances, and 341 malicious skills in the marketplace.
I will straps on my proton pack to bust these ghosts with open source tools. First, the OpenClaw Observability Plugin :
- an OpenTelemetry-based plugin capturing full agent lifecycle traces: request → agent turn → tool calls, with per-tool timing, token breakdowns, and error tracking. Your PKE meter for rogue AI.
- Then, Tetragon , eBPF-powered kernel-level policies restricting file access, network connections, and process execution. The containment unit no prompt injection can escape. A live demo ties it all together: OpenClaw + observability plugin + Tetragon, with traces and security events flowing into one dashboard.
We came, we saw, we traced it.
