Set `web_host` to `0.0.0.0` in `config.json` to make the console reachable from outside, and set `web_password` to protect it. Don't forget to open port `9899` in your firewall or security group.\n\n> 📖 Detailed guides: [Quick Start](https://docs.cowagent.ai/guide/quick-start) · [Install from Source](https://docs.cowagent.ai/guide/manual-install) · [Upgrade](https://docs.cowagent.ai/guide/upgrade)\n\nAfter installation, manage the service with the [cow CLI](https://docs.cowagent.ai/cli/index):\n\n```bash\ncow start | stop | restart        # service control\ncow status | logs                  # status and logs\ncow update                         # pull latest code and restart\ncow skill install <name>           # install a skill\ncow install-browser                # install browser automation\n```\n\n> 💻 Desktop client: download the **[CowAgent Desktop client](https://cowagent.ai/download/)** (macOS / Windows) — the backend is bundled, ready to use out of the box.\n\n<br/>","github_created_at":"2022-08-07T08:33:41+00:00","created_at":"2026-07-07T17:31:22.784877+00:00","updated_at":"2026-09-20T04:32:22.884673+00:00","categories":[{"slug":"ai-agents","name":"AI Agents","url":"https://www.graphcanon.com/categories/ai-agents","markdown_url":"https://www.graphcanon.com/categories/ai-agents.md","api_url":"https://www.graphcanon.com/api/graphcanon/categories/ai-agents"}],"tags":[{"slug":"ai","name":"ai"},{"slug":"ai-agent","name":"ai-agent"},{"slug":"ai-agents","name":"ai-agents"},{"slug":"llm","name":"llm"},{"slug":"multi-agent","name":"multi-agent"},{"slug":"openai","name":"openai"},{"slug":"openclaw","name":"openclaw"},{"slug":"skills","name":"skills"}],"trust":{"provenance":{"is_fork":false,"github_id":522158088,"owner_type":"User","methodology":"github_public_v1","parent_repo":null,"near_duplicate_slugs":[]},"computed_at":"2026-09-18T08:39:06.003Z","maintenance":{"label":"Very active","score":96,"methodology":"github_public_v1","releases_90d":7,"days_since_push":0,"last_release_at":"2026-09-14T06:38:17Z","stars_delta_30d":505,"open_issues_delta_30d":-5},"security_summary":{"status":"findings","scanner":"osv@v1","low_count":94,"high_count":0,"last_scan_at":"2026-09-18T08:39:07.738Z","medium_count":0,"scan_profile":"deps","critical_count":0}},"capability_facts":{"scan":{"source":"repo_scan","observed_at":"2026-09-18T08:39:04.876Z"},"deploy":{"source":"dockerfile:Dockerfile","self_host":true,"observed_at":"2026-09-18T08:39:04.876Z","managed_saas":false},"has_cli":{"value":true,"source":"pyproject.toml:[project.scripts]","observed_at":"2026-09-18T08:39:04.876Z"},"languages":{"value":["python"],"source":"github.language+pyproject.toml","observed_at":"2026-09-18T08:39:04.876Z"},"has_docker":{"value":true,"source":"dockerfile:Dockerfile","observed_at":"2026-09-18T08:39:04.876Z"},"license_spdx":{"value":"MIT","source":"github.license","observed_at":"2026-09-18T08:39:04.876Z"}},"decision_facts":{"hosting":null,"pricing":null,"requirements":null,"constraints":null,"when_to_use":["When you need a lightweight and extensible AI agent harness that can be easily installed with a one-line command.","If you require a solution that supports multi-agent, multi-model, and multi-channel configurations for complex task management.","For users who prefer an open-source tool with detailed documentation and a web console for easy management."],"when_not_to_use":["If you are looking for a tool that requires minimal configuration beyond the initial one-line install, as CowAgent may still need additional setup for specific use cases.","When you need a tool that is not based on Python, as CowAgent is specifically designed for Python environments.","If you are seeking a solution that does not require a web console for management, as CowAgent heavily relies on its web interface for configuration and monitoring."],"source":"enrich:decision_facts","observed_at":"2026-09-18T11:32:53.019Z"},"constraint_facets":null,"decision_summary":[{"label":"Adopt for","value":"CowAgent is an open-source AI agent harness that supports multi-agent, multi-model, and multi-channel configurations, enabling users to plan tasks, run tools and skills, and self-evolve with memory and knowledge."}]}}
