## 🎯 Key Messages

### Primary Message
**"OpenClaw is now secure with APort - Pre-action authorization for commands and MCP tools. One command, no clone required."**

### Supporting Points
1. ✅ **One-command setup** - `npx @aporthq/aport-agent-guardrails` (no clone); optional hosted passport via `npx @aporthq/aport-agent-guardrails <agent_id>`
2. ✅ **Local-first or API** - Works offline (bash) or with APort API (default in wizard) for full OAP
3. ✅ **40+ built-in security patterns** - Protection against injection, path traversal, privilege escalation
4. ✅ **4 OpenClaw policies** - Commands, MCP tools, sessions, tool registration
5. ✅ **Sub-300ms performance** - Fast enough for real-time agent workflows

## 🎬 Demo Script

### Video Script (2 minutes)

**0:00 - 0:15: Introduction**
- "OpenClaw is powerful, but needs security"
- "APort adds pre-action authorization"
- "Works locally, no cloud required"

**0:15 - 0:45: Setup**
- Run: `npx @aporthq/aport-agent-guardrails` (wizard: config dir, passport choice — hosted or wizard, mode API/local)
- Show plugin installed; optional: show passport.json or hosted agent_id

**0:45 - 1:15: Demo - Command Verification**
- Show `~/.openclaw/.skills/aport-guardrail.sh system.command.execute '{"command":"mkdir test"}'` (ALLOW)
- Show `... '{"command":"rm -rf /"}'` (DENY - blocked pattern)
- Show sudo / dangerous command (DENIED)

**1:15 - 1:45: Demo - MCP Tool Verification**
- Show github.pull_requests.create (ALLOWED)
- Show evil-server.com (DENIED - server not allowed)

**1:45 - 2:00: Wrap-up**
- "40+ built-in security patterns"
- "5-minute setup"
- "Link in description"

## 📊 Code Examples for Announcement

### Example 1: Command Verification

```python
from aport_guardrail import APortGuardrail

guardrail = APortGuardrail()

# This is ALLOWED
guardrail.verify_command("npm", ["install"])

# This is DENIED (blocked pattern)
try:
    guardrail.verify_command("rm", ["-rf", "/"])
except PermissionError:
    print("Dangerous command blocked!")
```

### Example 2: MCP Tool Verification

```python
# This is ALLOWED
guardrail.verify_mcp_tool(
    "https://mcp.github.com",
    "github.pull_requests.create",
    {"repo": "test/repo"}
)

# This is DENIED (server not allowed)
try:
    guardrail.verify_mcp_tool(
        "https://evil-server.com",
        "malicious.tool",
        {}
    )
except PermissionError:
    print("MCP tool blocked!")
```

## 📈 Performance Metrics

### Key Numbers to Highlight

- **P95 Latency**: 268ms (generic evaluators)
- **Mean Latency**: 178ms
- **Success Rate**: 100%
- **Security Patterns**: 40+ built-in patterns
- **Setup Time**: 5 minutes
- **Policies**: 4 OpenClaw-specific policies

### Comparison

| Metric | Manual Evaluators | Generic Evaluators | Target |
|--------|------------------|-------------------|--------|
| P95 Latency | 239ms | 268ms | <200ms |
| Mean Latency | 165ms | 178ms | <150ms |
| Success Rate | 100% | 100% | 100% |

**Note**: Generic evaluators are 11.8% slower but provide:
- ✅ Policy-driven (no hardcoded logic)
- ✅ Easier to maintain
- ✅ Consistent across all policies

## 🎨 Visual Assets

### Screenshot Ideas

1. **Terminal showing verification**
   ```
   ✅ npm install - ALLOWED
   ❌ rm -rf / - DENIED (blocked pattern)
   ❌ sudo apt update - DENIED (not in allowlist)
   ```

2. **Code example showing integration**
   - Python code with APortGuardrail class
   - Clean, readable, well-commented

3. **Architecture diagram**
   - OpenClaw → APort → Policy Evaluation → Allow/Deny
