## Description

Pinchy wraps the OpenClaw agent runtime into a team-ready platform. It introduces a plugin system where agents get explicitly allowed tools rather than raw shell access, role-based access with admin and member roles plus group-level agent visibility, and a cryptographically signed audit trail recording every agent action. The web interface and per-agent Telegram bots enforce the same permissions. The software works with cloud models from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google, or runs fully offline with local models through Ollama. Connectors cover Odoo ERP with ready-made agent templates, Gmail and Microsoft 365 email, generic IMAP/SMTP, web search via Brave Search API, and knowledge-base agents limited to specific document folders. Deployment uses a single Docker Compose file pulling pre-built images from GHCR; a first-run wizard creates the admin account. The Community edition is free under AGPL-3.0; a paid Pro tier (€99/month billed yearly) adds groups, agent access control, and per-user analytics through an offline license key. The project is early (v0.9.x) with more granular roles and a plugin marketplace planned.
