Summary

Agents of Chaos presents a two-week red-teaming study of OpenClaw-based AI agents operating with persistent memory, email access, Discord channels, and shell privileges in a live lab. Twenty researchers document eleven case studies revealing security, privacy, and governance vulnerabilities, including unauthorized compliance, data leakage, DoS-like resource exhaustion, and identity spoofing. The work argues for urgent safety governance and accountability frameworks as agent autonomy scales.
