Question 1

What is Halt?

Accepted Answer

Halt is a monitoring and safety layer for autonomous AI agents running on OpenClaw. It watches everything your agent does, evaluates custom rules, and can instantly pause runaway agents.

Question 2

What is auto-kill?

Accepted Answer

If an agent triggers 3 rule violations within 10 minutes, Halt automatically shuts it down. No human intervention needed. The threshold and window are configurable per agent from your dashboard.

Question 3

Does the kill switch actually work instantly?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Pattern rules block actions in-process via the before_tool_call hook with zero network latency. Manual kills arrive via WebSocket. Auto-kill shuts down agents after repeated violations automatically.
