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 (the default during onboarding) adds npm, pypi, huggingface, brew, and brave presets to the baseline policy — enough for dev tooling and web search — while leaving messaging and productivity integrations off. For stricter deployments, pick the Restricted tier; to also allow Slack/Discord/Telegram/Jira/Outlook, pick Open. In non-interactive mode, set NEMOCLAW_POLICY_TIER=restricted|balanced|open.
