alt Hacker NewsRight, but again that's not actually outbound at all, what you're describing is only inbound. Again, I thought the whole point was that the agent could start acting autonomously to some degree, not allow outbound kind of defeats the entire purpose, doesn't it?

Huh? The bot can communicate with me freely as it sees fit. A "conversation" in telegram parlance is not time-limited, it's ongoing once established, so no it's not only inbound. It can awaken and ping me whenever it wants. This can also work if it's added to a group chat.
If you mean it's not outbound as in it can't message arbitrary random users out of nowhere, well yeah, and that's a very desirable trait.
There's a lot of useful autonomous things that don't require unrestricted outbound communication, but agreed that the "safe" claw configuration probably falls quite a bit short of the popular perception of a full AI assistant at this point.
