# 配置参考大全
此文档列出 `~/.openclaw/openclaw.json` 中所有可用字段。如需面向任务的概述，请参见[配置](/gateway/configuration)。
配置格式为 **JSON5**（支持注释和尾逗号）。所有字段均为可选 — 省略时 OpenClaw 使用安全的默认值。
---
## 渠道
每个渠道在其配置段存在时自动启动（除非设置 `enabled: false`）。
### 私聊和群组访问
所有渠道均支持私聊策略和群组策略：
| 私聊策略 | 行为 |
| ------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `pairing` (default) | 未知发送者获得一次性配对码；所有者必须批准 |
| `allowlist` | 仅 `allowFrom`（或配对允许存储）中的发送者 |
| `open` | 允许所有入站私聊（需要 `allowFrom: ["*"]`） |
| `disabled` | 忽略所有入站私聊 |
| 群组策略 | 行为 |
| --------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------ |
| `allowlist` (default) | 仅匹配已配置白名单的群组 |
| `open` | 绕过群组白名单（提及门控仍然适用） |
| `disabled` | 阻止所有群组/房间消息 |
`channels.defaults.groupPolicy` sets the default when a provider's `groupPolicy` is unset.
Pairing codes expire after 1 hour. Pending DM pairing requests are capped at **3 per channel**.
If a provider block is missing entirely (`channels.` absent), runtime group policy falls back to `allowlist` (fail-closed) with a startup warning.
### 渠道模型覆盖
使用 `channels.modelByChannel` 将特定渠道 ID 固定到某个模型。值接受 `provider/model` 或已配置的模型别名。当会话尚未设置模型覆盖时（例如通过 `/model` 设置），渠道映射生效。
```json5
{
channels: {
modelByChannel: {
discord: {
"123456789012345678": "anthropic/claude-opus-4-6",
},
slack: {
C1234567890: "openai/gpt-4.1",
},
telegram: {
"-1001234567890": "openai/gpt-4.1-mini",
"-1001234567890:topic:99": "anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-6",
},
},
},
}
```
### Channel defaults and heartbeat
Use `channels.defaults` for shared group-policy and heartbeat behavior across providers:
```json5
{
channels: {
defaults: {
groupPolicy: "allowlist", // open | allowlist | disabled
heartbeat: {
showOk: false,
showAlerts: true,
useIndicator: true,
},
},
},
}
```
- `channels.defaults.groupPolicy`: fallback group policy when a provider-level `groupPolicy` is unset.
- `channels.defaults.heartbeat.showOk`: include healthy channel statuses in heartbeat output.
- `channels.defaults.heartbeat.showAlerts`: include degraded/error statuses in heartbeat output.
- `channels.defaults.heartbeat.useIndicator`: render compact indicator-style heartbeat output.
### WhatsApp
WhatsApp runs through the gateway's web channel (Baileys Web). It starts automatically when a linked session exists.
```json5
{
channels: {
whatsapp: {
dmPolicy: "pairing", // pairing | allowlist | open | disabled
allowFrom: ["+15555550123", "+447700900123"],
textChunkLimit: 4000,
chunkMode: "length", // length | newline
mediaMaxMb: 50,
sendReadReceipts: true, // blue ticks (false in self-chat mode)
groups: {
"*": { requireMention: true },
},
groupPolicy: "allowlist",
groupAllowFrom: ["+15551234567"],
},
},
web: {
enabled: true,
heartbeatSeconds: 60,
reconnect: {
initialMs: 2000,
maxMs: 120000,
factor: 1.4,
jitter: 0.2,
maxAttempts: 0,
},
},
}
```
```json5
{
channels: {
whatsapp: {
accounts: {
default: {},
personal: {},
biz: {
// authDir: "~/.openclaw/credentials/whatsapp/biz",
},
},
},
},
}
```
- Outbound commands default to account `default` if present; otherwise the first configured account id (sorted).
- Legacy single-account Baileys auth dir is migrated by `openclaw doctor` into `whatsapp/default`.
- Per-account overrides: `channels.whatsapp.accounts..sendReadReceipts`, `channels.whatsapp.accounts..dmPolicy`, `channels.whatsapp.accounts..allowFrom`.
### Telegram
```json5
{
channels: {
telegram: {
enabled: true,
botToken: "your-bot-token",
dmPolicy: "pairing",
allowFrom: ["tg:123456789"],
groups: {

"-1001234567890": {
allowFrom: ["@admin"],
systemPrompt: "Keep answers brief.",
topics: {
"99": {
requireMention: false,
skills: ["search"],
systemPrompt: "Stay on topic.",
},
},
},
},
customCommands: [
{ command: "backup", description: "Git backup" },
{ command: "generate", description: "Create an image" },
],
historyLimit: 50,
replyToMode: "first", // off | first | all
linkPreview: true,
streaming: "partial", // off | partial | block | progress (default: off)
actions: { reactions: true, sendMessage: true },
reactionNotifications: "own", // off | own | all
mediaMaxMb: 5,
retry: {
attempts: 3,
minDelayMs: 400,
maxDelayMs: 30000,
jitter: 0.1,
},
network: {
autoSelectFamily: true,
dnsResultOrder: "ipv4first",
},
proxy: "socks5://localhost:9050",
webhookUrl: "https://example.com/telegram-webhook",
webhookSecret: "secret",
webhookPath: "/telegram-webhook",
},
},
}
```
- Bot token: `channels.telegram.botToken` or `channels.telegram.tokenFile`, with `TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN` as fallback for the default account.
- `configWrites: false` blocks Telegram-initiated config writes (supergroup ID migrations, `/config set|unset`).
- Telegram stream previews use `sendMessage` + `editMessageText` (works in direct and group chats).
- Retry policy: see [Retry policy](/concepts/retry).

}
```
- Token: `channels.discord.token`, with `DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN` as fallback for the default account.
- Use `user:` (DM) or `channel:` (guild channel) for delivery targets; bare numeric IDs are rejected.
- Guild slugs are lowercase with spaces replaced by `-`; channel keys use the slugged name (no `#`). Prefer guild IDs.
- Bot-authored messages are ignored by default. `allowBots: true` enables them (own messages still filtered).
- `maxLinesPerMessage` (default 17) splits tall messages even when under 2000 chars.
- `channels.discord.threadBindings` controls Discord thread-bound routing:
- `enabled`: Discord override for thread-bound session features (`/focus`, `/unfocus`, `/agents`, `/session idle`, `/session max-age`, and bound delivery/routing)
- `idleHours`: Discord override for inactivity auto-unfocus in hours (`0` disables)
- `maxAgeHours`: Discord override for hard max age in hours (`0` disables)
- `spawnSubagentSessions`: opt-in switch for `sessions_spawn({ thread: true })` auto thread creation/binding
- `channels.discord.ui.components.accentColor` sets the accent color for Discord components v2 containers.
- `channels.discord.voice` enables Discord voice channel conversations and optional auto-join + TTS overrides.
- `channels.discord.voice.daveEncryption` and `channels.discord.voice.decryptionFailureTolerance` pass through to `@discordjs/voice` DAVE options (`true` and `24` by default).
- OpenClaw additionally attempts voice receive recovery by leaving/rejoining a voice session after repeated decrypt failures.
- `channels.discord.streaming` is the canonical stream mode key. Legacy `streamMode` and boolean `streaming` values are auto-migrated.
- `channels.discord.dangerouslyAllowNameMatching` re-enables mutable name/tag matching (break-glass compatibility mode).
**Reaction notification modes:** `off` (none), `own` (bot's messages, default), `all` (all messages), `allowlist` (from `guilds..users` on all messages).
### Google Chat
```json5
{
channels: {
googlechat: {
enabled: true,
serviceAccountFile: "/path/to/service-account.json",
audienceType: "app-url", // app-url | project-number
audience: "https://gateway.example.com/googlechat",
webhookPath: "/googlechat",
botUser: "users/1234567890",
dm: {
enabled: true,
policy: "pairing",
allowFrom: ["users/1234567890"],
},
groupPolicy: "allowlist",
groups: {
"spaces/AAAA": { allow: true, requireMention: true },
},
actions: { reactions: true },
typingIndicator: "message",
mediaMaxMb: 20,
},
},
}
```
- Service account JSON: inline (`serviceAccount`) or file-based (`serviceAccountFile`).
- Service account SecretRef is also supported (`serviceAccountRef`).
- Env fallbacks: `GOOGLE_CHAT_SERVICE_ACCOUNT` or `GOOGLE_CHAT_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_FILE`.
- Use `spaces/` or `users/` for delivery targets.
- `channels.googlechat.dangerouslyAllowNameMatching` re-enables mutable email principal matching (break-glass compatibility mode).
### Slack
```json5
{
channels: {
slack: {
enabled: true,
botToken: "xoxb-...",
appToken: "xapp-...",
dmPolicy: "pairing",
allowFrom: ["U123", "U456", "*"],
dm: { enabled: true, groupEnabled: false, groupChannels: ["G123"] },
channels: {
C123: { allow: true, requireMention: true, allowBots: false },
"#general": {
allow: true,
requireMention: true,
allowBots: false,
users: ["U123"],
skills: ["docs"],
systemPrompt: "Short answers only.",
},
},
historyLimit: 50,
allowBots: false,
reactionNotifications: "own",
reactionAllowlist: ["U123"],
replyToMode: "off", // off | first | all
thread: {
historyScope: "thread", // thread | channel
inheritParent: false,
},
actions: {
reactions: true,
messages: true,
pins: true,
memberInfo: true,
emojiList: true,
},
slashCommand: {
enabled: true,
name: "openclaw",
sessionPrefix: "slack:slash",
ephemeral: true,
},
textChunkLimit: 4000,
chunkMode: "length",
streaming: "partial", // off | partial | block | progress (preview mode)
nativeStreaming: true, // use Slack native streaming API when streaming=partial
mediaMaxMb: 20,
},
},
}
```
- **Socket mode** requires both `botToken` and `appToken` (`SLACK_BOT_TOKEN` + `SLACK_APP_TOKEN` for default account env fallback).
- **HTTP mode** requires `botToken` plus `signingSecret` (at root or per-account).
- `configWrites: false` blocks Slack-initiated config writes.
- `channels.slack.streaming` is the canonical stream mode key. Legacy `streamMode` and boolean `streaming` values are auto-migrated.
- Use `user:` (DM) or `channel:` for delivery targets.
**Reaction notification modes:** `off`, `own` (default), `all`, `allowlist` (from `reactionAllowlist`).
**Thread session isolation:** `thread.historyScope` is per-thread (default) or shared across channel. `thread.inheritParent` copies parent channel transcript to new threads.
| Action group | 默认 | Notes |
| ------------ | ------- | ---------------------- |
| reactions | enabled | React + list reactions |
| messages | enabled | Read/send/edit/delete |
| pins | enabled | Pin/unpin/list |
| memberInfo | enabled | Member info |
| emojiList | enabled | Custom emoji list |
### Mattermost
Mattermost ships as a plugin: `openclaw plugins install @openclaw/mattermost`.
```json5
{
channels: {
mattermost: {
enabled: true,
botToken: "mm-token",
baseUrl: "https://chat.example.com",
dmPolicy: "pairing",
chatmode: "oncall", // oncall | onmessage | onchar
oncharPrefixes: [">", "!"],
textChunkLimit: 4000,
chunkMode: "length",
},
},
}
```
Chat modes: `oncall` (respond on @-mention, default), `onmessage` (every message), `onchar` (messages starting with trigger prefix).
- `channels.mattermost.configWrites`: allow or deny Mattermost-initiated config writes.
- `channels.mattermost.requireMention`: require `@mention` before replying in channels.
### Signal
```json5
{
channels: {
signal: {
enabled: true,
account: "+15555550123", // optional account binding
dmPolicy: "pairing",
allowFrom: ["+15551234567", "uuid:123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426614174000"],
configWrites: true,
reactionNotifications: "own", // off | own | all | allowlist
reactionAllowlist: ["+15551234567", "uuid:123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426614174000"],
historyLimit: 50,
},
},
}
```
**Reaction notification modes:** `off`, `own` (default), `all`, `allowlist` (from `reactionAllowlist`).
- `channels.signal.account`: pin channel startup to a specific Signal account identity.
- `channels.signal.configWrites`: allow or deny Signal-initiated config writes.
### BlueBubbles
BlueBubbles is the recommended iMessage path (plugin-backed, configured under `channels.bluebubbles`).
```json5
{
channels: {
bluebubbles: {
enabled: true,
dmPolicy: "pairing",
// serverUrl, password, webhookPath, group controls, and advanced actions:
// see /channels/bluebubbles
},
},
}
```
- Core key paths covered here: `channels.bluebubbles`, `channels.bluebubbles.dmPolicy`.
- Full BlueBubbles channel configuration is documented in [BlueBubbles](/channels/bluebubbles).
### iMessage
OpenClaw spawns `imsg rpc` (JSON-RPC over stdio). No daemon or port required.
```json5
{
channels: {
imessage: {
enabled: true,
cliPath: "imsg",
dbPath: "~/Library/Messages/chat.db",
remoteHost: "user@gateway-host",
dmPolicy: "pairing",
allowFrom: ["+15555550123", "user@example.com", "chat_id:123"],
historyLimit: 50,
includeAttachments: false,
attachmentRoots: ["/Users/*/Library/Messages/Attachments"],
remoteAttachmentRoots: ["/Users/*/Library/Messages/Attachments"],
mediaMaxMb: 16,
service: "auto",
region: "US",
},
},
}
```
- Requires Full Disk Access to the Messages DB.
- Prefer `chat_id:` targets. Use `imsg chats --limit 20` to list chats.
- `cliPath` can point to an SSH wrapper; set `remoteHost` (`host` or `user@host`) for SCP attachment fetching.
- `attachmentRoots` and `remoteAttachmentRoots` restrict inbound attachment paths (default: `/Users/*/Library/Messages/Attachments`).
- SCP uses strict host-key checking, so ensure the relay host key already exists in `~/.ssh/known_hosts`.
- `channels.imessage.configWrites`: allow or deny iMessage-initiated config writes.
```bash
#!/usr/bin/env bash
exec ssh -T gateway-host imsg "$@"
```
### Microsoft Teams
Microsoft Teams is extension-backed and configured under `channels.msteams`.
```json5
{
channels: {
msteams: {
enabled: true,
configWrites: true,
// appId, appPassword, tenantId, webhook, team/channel policies:
// see /channels/msteams
},
},
}
```
- Core key paths covered here: `channels.msteams`, `channels.msteams.configWrites`.
- Full Teams config (credentials, webhook, DM/group policy, per-team/per-channel overrides) is documented in [Microsoft Teams](/channels/msteams).
### IRC
IRC is extension-backed and configured under `channels.irc`.
```json5
{
channels: {
irc: {
enabled: true,
dmPolicy: "pairing",
configWrites: true,
nickserv: {
enabled: true,
service: "NickServ",
password: "${IRC_NICKSERV_PASSWORD}",
register: false,
registerEmail: "bot@example.com",
},
},
},
}
```
- Core key paths covered here: `channels.irc`, `channels.irc.dmPolicy`, `channels.irc.configWrites`, `channels.irc.nickserv.*`.
- Full IRC channel configuration (host/port/TLS/channels/allowlists/mention gating) is documented in [IRC](/channels/irc).
### Multi-account (all channels)
Run multiple accounts per channel (each with its own `accountId`):
```json5
{
channels: {
telegram: {
accounts: {
default: {
name: "Primary bot",
botToken: "123456:ABC...",
},
alerts: {
name: "Alerts bot",
botToken: "987654:XYZ...",
},
},
},
},
}
```
- `default` is used when `accountId` is omitted (CLI + routing).
- Env tokens only apply to the **default** account.
- Base channel settings apply to all accounts unless overridden per account.
- Use `bindings[].match.accountId` to route each account to a different agent.
- If you add a non-default account via `openclaw channels add` (or channel onboarding) while still on a single-account top-level channel config, OpenClaw moves account-scoped top-level single-account values into `channels..accounts.default` first so the original account keeps working.
- Existing channel-only bindings (no `accountId`) keep matching the default account; account-scoped bindings remain optional.
- `openclaw doctor --fix` also repairs mixed shapes by moving account-scoped top-level single-account values into `accounts.default` when named accounts exist but `default` is missing.
### Other extension channels
Many extension channels are configured as `channels.` and documented in their dedicated channel pages (for example Feishu, Matrix, LINE, Nostr, Zalo, Nextcloud Talk, Synology Chat, and Twitch).
See the full channel index: [Channels](/channels).
### Group chat mention gating
Group messages default to **require mention** (metadata mention or regex patterns). Applies to WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, Google Chat, and iMessage group chats.
**Mention types:**
- **Metadata mentions**: Native platform @-mentions. Ignored in WhatsApp self-chat mode.
- **Text patterns**: Regex patterns in `agents.list[].groupChat.mentionPatterns`. Always checked.
- Mention gating is enforced only when detection is possible (native mentions or at least one pattern).
```json5
{
messages: {
groupChat: { historyLimit: 50 },
},
agents: {
list: [{ id: "main", groupChat: { mentionPatterns: ["@openclaw", "openclaw"] } }],
},
}
```
`messages.groupChat.historyLimit` sets the global default. Channels can override with `channels..historyLimit` (or per-account). Set `0` to disable.
#### DM history limits
```json5
{
channels: {
telegram: {
dmHistoryLimit: 30,
dms: {
"123456789": { historyLimit: 50 },
},
},
},
}
```
Resolution: per-DM override → provider default → no limit (all retained).
Supported: `telegram`, `whatsapp`, `discord`, `slack`, `signal`, `imessage`, `msteams`.
#### Self-chat mode
Include your own number in `allowFrom` to enable self-chat mode (ignores native @-mentions, only responds to text patterns):
```json5
{
channels: {
whatsapp: {
allowFrom: ["+15555550123"],
groups: { "*": { requireMention: true } },
},
},
agents: {
list: [
{
id: "main",
groupChat: { mentionPatterns: ["reisponde", "@openclaw"] },
},
],
},
}
```
### Commands (chat command handling)
```json5
{
commands: {
native: "auto", // register native commands when supported
text: true, // parse /commands in chat messages
bash: false, // allow ! (alias: /bash)
bashForegroundMs: 2000,
config: false, // allow /config
debug: false, // allow /debug
restart: false, // allow /restart + gateway restart tool
allowFrom: {
"*": ["user1"],
discord: ["user:123"],
},
useAccessGroups: true,
},
}
```
- Text commands must be **standalone** messages with leading `/`.
- `native: "auto"` turns on native commands for Discord/Telegram, leaves Slack off.
- Override per channel: `channels.discord.commands.native` (bool or `"auto"`). `false` clears previously registered commands.
- `channels.telegram.customCommands` adds extra Telegram bot menu entries.
- `bash: true` enables `! ` for host shell. Requires `tools.elevated.enabled` and sender in `tools.elevated.allowFrom.`.
- `config: true` enables `/config` (reads/writes `openclaw.json`).
- `channels..configWrites` gates config mutations per channel (default: true).
- `allowFrom` is per-provider. When set, it is the **only** authorization source (channel allowlists/pairing and `useAccessGroups` are ignored).
- `useAccessGroups: false` allows commands to bypass access-group policies when `allowFrom` is not set.
---
## 智能体默认值
### `agents.defaults.workspace`
Default: `~/.openclaw/workspace`.
```json5
{
agents: { defaults: { workspace: "~/.openclaw/workspace" } },
}
```
### `agents.defaults.repoRoot`
Optional repository root shown in the system prompt's Runtime line. If unset, OpenClaw auto-detects by walking upward from the workspace.
```json5
{
agents: { defaults: { repoRoot: "~/Projects/openclaw" } },
}
```
### `agents.defaults.skipBootstrap`
Disables automatic creation of workspace bootstrap files (`AGENTS.md`, `SOUL.md`, `TOOLS.md`, `IDENTITY.md`, `USER.md`, `HEARTBEAT.md`, `BOOTSTRAP.md`).
```json5
{
agents: { defaults: { skipBootstrap: true } },
}
```
### `agents.defaults.bootstrapMaxChars`
Max characters per workspace bootstrap file before truncation. Default: `20000`.
```json5
{
agents: { defaults: { bootstrapMaxChars: 20000 } },
}
```
### `agents.defaults.bootstrapTotalMaxChars`
Max total characters injected across all workspace bootstrap files. Default: `150000`.
```json5
{
agents: { defaults: { bootstrapTotalMaxChars: 150000 } },
}
```
### `agents.defaults.imageMaxDimensionPx`
Max pixel size for the longest image side in transcript/tool image blocks before provider calls.
Default: `1200`.
Lower values usually reduce vision-token usage and request payload size for screenshot-heavy runs.
Higher values preserve more visual detail.
```json5
{
agents: { defaults: { imageMaxDimensionPx: 1200 } },
}
```
### `agents.defaults.userTimezone`
Timezone for system prompt context (not message timestamps). Falls back to host timezone.
```json5
{
agents: { defaults: { userTimezone: "America/Chicago" } },
}
```
### `agents.defaults.timeFormat`
系统提示中的时间格式。默认：`auto`（操作系统偏好）。
```json5
{
agents: { defaults: { timeFormat: "auto" } }, // auto | 12 | 24
}
```
### `agents.defaults.model`
```json5
{
agents: {
defaults: {
models: {
"anthropic/claude-opus-4-6": { alias: "opus" },
"minimax/MiniMax-M2.1": { alias: "minimax" },
},
model: {
primary: "anthropic/claude-opus-4-6",
fallbacks: ["minimax/MiniMax-M2.1"],
},
imageModel: {
primary: "openrouter/qwen/qwen-2.5-vl-72b-instruct:free",
fallbacks: ["openrouter/google/gemini-2.0-flash-vision:free"],
},
thinkingDefault: "low",
verboseDefault: "off",
elevatedDefault: "on",
timeoutSeconds: 600,
mediaMaxMb: 5,
contextTokens: 200000,
maxConcurrent: 3,
},
},
}
```
- `model`：接受字符串（`"provider/model"`）或对象（`{ primary, fallbacks }`）。
- String form sets only the primary model.
- Object form sets primary plus ordered failover models.
- `imageModel`：接受字符串（`"provider/model"`）或对象（`{ primary, fallbacks }`）。
- Used by the `image` tool path as its vision-model config.
- Also used as fallback routing when the selected/default model cannot accept image input.
- `model.primary`: format `provider/model` (e.g. `anthropic/claude-opus-4-6`). If you omit the provider, OpenClaw assumes `anthropic` (deprecated).
- `models`: the configured model catalog and allowlist for `/model`. Each entry can include `alias` (shortcut) and `params` (provider-specific, for example `temperature`, `maxTokens`, `cacheRetention`, `context1m`).
- `params` merge precedence (config): `agents.defaults.models["provider/model"].params` is the base, then `agents.list[].params` (matching agent id) overrides by key.
- Config writers that mutate these fields (for example `/models set`, `/models set-image`, and fallback add/remove commands) save canonical object form and preserve existing fallback lists when possible.
- `maxConcurrent`: max parallel agent runs across sessions (each session still serialized). Default: 1.
**Built-in alias shorthands** (only apply when the model is in `agents.defaults.models`):
| 别名 | 模型 |
| -------------- | ------------------------------- |
| `opus` | `anthropic/claude-opus-4-6` |
| `sonnet` | `anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-5` |
| `gpt` | `openai/gpt-5.2` |

| `gemini` | `google/gemini-3-pro-preview` |
| `gemini-flash` | `google/gemini-3-flash-preview` |
您配置的别名始终优先于默认值。
Z.AI GLM-4.x models automatically enable thinking mode unless you set `--thinking off` or define `agents.defaults.models["zai/"].params.thinking` yourself.
Z.AI models enable `tool_stream` by default for tool call streaming. Set `agents.defaults.models["zai/"].params.tool_stream` to `false` to disable it.
### `agents.defaults.cliBackends`
可选的 CLI 后端，用于纯文本回退运行（无工具调用）。当 API 供应商故障时可用作备份。
```json5
{
agents: {
defaults: {
cliBackends: {
"claude-cli": {
command: "/opt/homebrew/bin/claude",
},
"my-cli": {
command: "my-cli",
args: ["--json"],
output: "json",
modelArg: "--model",
sessionArg: "--session",
sessionMode: "existing",
systemPromptArg: "--system",
systemPromptWhen: "first",
imageArg: "--image",
imageMode: "repeat",
},
},
},
},
}
```
- CLI 后端以文本为主；工具始终禁用。
- 设置 `sessionArg` 时支持会话。
- `imageArg` 接受文件路径时支持图片传递。
### `agents.defaults.heartbeat`
定时心跳运行。
```json5
{
agents: {
defaults: {
heartbeat: {
every: "30m", // 0m disables
model: "openai/gpt-5.2-mini",
includeReasoning: false,
session: "main",
to: "+15555550123",
directPolicy: "allow", // allow (default) | block
target: "none", // default: none | options: last | whatsapp | telegram | discord | ...
prompt: "Read HEARTBEAT.md if it exists...",
ackMaxChars: 300,
suppressToolErrorWarnings: false,
},
},
},
}
```
- `every`: duration string (ms/s/m/h). Default: `30m`.
- `suppressToolErrorWarnings`: when true, suppresses tool error warning payloads during heartbeat runs.
- `directPolicy`: direct/DM delivery policy. `allow` (default) permits direct-target delivery. `block` suppresses direct-target delivery and emits `reason=dm-blocked`.
- Per-agent: set `agents.list[].heartbeat`. When any agent defines `heartbeat`, **only those agents** run heartbeats.
- Heartbeats run full agent turns — shorter intervals burn more tokens.
### `agents.defaults.compaction`
```json5
{
agents: {
defaults: {
compaction: {
mode: "safeguard", // default | safeguard
reserveTokensFloor: 24000,
identifierPolicy: "strict", // strict | off | custom
identifierInstructions: "Preserve deployment IDs, ticket IDs, and host:port pairs exactly.", // used when identifierPolicy=custom
memoryFlush: {
enabled: true,
softThresholdTokens: 6000,
systemPrompt: "Session nearing compaction. Store durable memories now.",
prompt: "Write any lasting notes to memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md; reply with NO_REPLY if nothing to store.",
},
},
},
},
}
```
- `mode`: `default` or `safeguard` (chunked summarization for long histories). See [Compaction](/concepts/compaction).
- `identifierPolicy`: `strict` (default), `off`, or `custom`. `strict` prepends built-in opaque identifier retention guidance during compaction summarization.
- `identifierInstructions`: optional custom identifier-preservation text used when `identifierPolicy=custom`.
- `memoryFlush`: silent agentic turn before auto-compaction to store durable memories. Skipped when workspace is read-only.
### `agents.defaults.contextPruning`
在发送给 LLM 之前，从内存上下文中清理**旧的工具结果**。**不会**修改磁盘上的会话历史。
```json5
{
agents: {
defaults: {
contextPruning: {
mode: "cache-ttl", // off | cache-ttl
ttl: "1h", // duration (ms/s/m/h), default unit: minutes
keepLastAssistants: 3,
softTrimRatio: 0.3,
hardClearRatio: 0.5,
minPrunableToolChars: 50000,
softTrim: { maxChars: 4000, headChars: 1500, tailChars: 1500 },
hardClear: { enabled: true, placeholder: "[Old tool result content cleared]" },
tools: { deny: ["browser", "canvas"] },
},
},
},
}
```
- `mode: "cache-ttl"` enables pruning passes.
- `ttl` controls how often pruning can run again (after the last cache touch).
- Pruning soft-trims oversized tool results first, then hard-clears older tool results if needed.
**Soft-trim** keeps beginning + end and inserts `...` in the middle.
**Hard-clear** replaces the entire tool result with the placeholder.
注意事项：
- Image blocks are never trimmed/cleared.
- Ratios are character-based (approximate), not exact token counts.
- If fewer than `keepLastAssistants` assistant messages exist, pruning is skipped.
See [Session Pruning](/concepts/session-pruning) for behavior details.
### 块流式传输
```json5
{
agents: {
defaults: {
blockStreamingDefault: "off", // on | off
blockStreamingBreak: "text_end", // text_end | message_end
blockStreamingChunk: { minChars: 800, maxChars: 1200 },
blockStreamingCoalesce: { idleMs: 1000 },
humanDelay: { mode: "natural" }, // off | natural | custom (use minMs/maxMs)
},
},
}
```
- Non-Telegram channels require explicit `*.blockStreaming: true` to enable block replies.
- Channel overrides: `channels..blockStreamingCoalesce` (and per-account variants). Signal/Slack/Discord/Google Chat default `minChars: 1500`.
- `humanDelay`: randomized pause between block replies. `natural` = 800–2500ms. Per-agent override: `agents.list[].humanDelay`.
See [Streaming](/concepts/streaming) for behavior + chunking details.
### 输入指示器
```json5
{
agents: {
defaults: {
typingMode: "instant", // never | instant | thinking | message
typingIntervalSeconds: 6,
},
},
}
```
- Defaults: `instant` for direct chats/mentions, `message` for unmentioned group chats.
- Per-session overrides: `session.typingMode`, `session.typingIntervalSeconds`.
See [Typing Indicators](/concepts/typing-indicators).
### `agents.defaults.sandbox`
嵌入式智能体的可选 **Docker 沙箱**。完整指南请参见[沙箱](/gateway/sandboxing)。
```json5
{
agents: {
defaults: {

"sessions_spawn",
"session_status",
],
deny: ["browser", "canvas", "nodes", "cron", "discord", "gateway"],
},
},
},
}
```
**Workspace access:**
- `none`: per-scope sandbox workspace under `~/.openclaw/sandboxes`
- `ro`: sandbox workspace at `/workspace`, agent workspace mounted read-only at `/agent`
- `rw`: agent workspace mounted read/write at `/workspace`
**Scope:**
- `session`: per-session container + workspace
- `agent`: one container + workspace per agent (default)
- `shared`: shared container and workspace (no cross-session isolation)
**`setupCommand`** runs once after container creation (via `sh -lc`). Needs network egress, writable root, root user.
**Containers default to `network: "none"`** — set to `"bridge"` (or a custom bridge network) if the agent needs outbound access.
`"host"` is blocked. `"container:"` is blocked by default unless you explicitly set
`sandbox.docker.dangerouslyAllowContainerNamespaceJoin: true` (break-glass).
**Inbound attachments** are staged into `media/inbound/*` in the active workspace.
**`docker.binds`** mounts additional host directories; global and per-agent binds are merged.
**Sandboxed browser** (`sandbox.browser.enabled`): Chromium + CDP in a container. noVNC URL injected into system prompt. Does not require `browser.enabled` in main config.
noVNC observer access uses VNC auth by default and OpenClaw emits a short-lived token URL (instead of exposing the password in the shared URL).
- `allowHostControl: false` (default) blocks sandboxed sessions from targeting the host browser.
- `network` defaults to `openclaw-sandbox-browser` (dedicated bridge network). Set to `bridge` only when you explicitly want global bridge connectivity.
- `cdpSourceRange` optionally restricts CDP ingress at the container edge to a CIDR range (for example `172.21.0.1/32`).
- `sandbox.browser.binds` mounts additional host directories into the sandbox browser container only. When set (including `[]`), it replaces `docker.binds` for the browser container.

```
### `agents.list` (per-agent overrides)
```json5
{
agents: {
list: [
{
id: "main",
default: true,
name: "Main Agent",
workspace: "~/.openclaw/workspace",
agentDir: "~/.openclaw/agents/main/agent",
model: "anthropic/claude-opus-4-6", // or { primary, fallbacks }
params: { cacheRetention: "none" }, // overrides matching defaults.models params by key
identity: {
name: "Samantha",
theme: "helpful sloth",
emoji: "🦥",
avatar: "avatars/samantha.png",
},
groupChat: { mentionPatterns: ["@openclaw"] },
sandbox: { mode: "off" },
subagents: { allowAgents: ["*"] },
tools: {
profile: "coding",
allow: ["browser"],
deny: ["canvas"],
elevated: { enabled: true },
},
},
],
},
}
```
- `id`：稳定的智能体 ID（必需）。
- `default`: when multiple are set, first wins (warning logged). If none set, first list entry is default.
- `model`: string form overrides `primary` only; object form `{ primary, fallbacks }` overrides both (`[]` disables global fallbacks). Cron jobs that only override `primary` still inherit default fallbacks unless you set `fallbacks: []`.
- `params`: per-agent stream params merged over the selected model entry in `agents.defaults.models`. Use this for agent-specific overrides like `cacheRetention`, `temperature`, or `maxTokens` without duplicating the whole model catalog.
- `identity.avatar`: workspace-relative path, `http(s)` URL, or `data:` URI.
- `identity` derives defaults: `ackReaction` from `emoji`, `mentionPatterns` from `name`/`emoji`.
- `subagents.allowAgents`: allowlist of agent ids for `sessions_spawn` (`["*"]` = any; default: same agent only).
---
## 多智能体路由
在一个网关中运行多个隔离的智能体。参见[多智能体](/concepts/multi-agent)。
```json5
{
agents: {
list: [
{ id: "home", default: true, workspace: "~/.openclaw/workspace-home" },
{ id: "work", workspace: "~/.openclaw/workspace-work" },
],
},
bindings: [
{ agentId: "home", match: { channel: "whatsapp", accountId: "personal" } },
{ agentId: "work", match: { channel: "whatsapp", accountId: "biz" } },
],
}
```
### 绑定匹配字段
- `match.channel` (required)
- `match.accountId` (optional; `*` = any account; omitted = default account)
- `match.peer` (optional; `{ kind: direct|group|channel, id }`)
- `match.guildId` / `match.teamId` (optional; channel-specific)
**Deterministic match order:**
1. `match.peer`
2. `match.guildId`
3. `match.teamId`
4. `match.accountId` (exact, no peer/guild/team)
5. `match.accountId: "*"` (channel-wide)
6. Default agent
Within each tier, the first matching `bindings` entry wins.
### 每个智能体的访问配置
```json5
{
agents: {
list: [
{
id: "personal",
workspace: "~/.openclaw/workspace-personal",
sandbox: { mode: "off" },
},
],
},
}
```
```json5
{
agents: {
list: [
{
id: "family",
workspace: "~/.openclaw/workspace-family",
sandbox: { mode: "all", scope: "agent", workspaceAccess: "ro" },
tools: {
allow: [
"read",
"sessions_list",
"sessions_history",
"sessions_send",
"sessions_spawn",
"session_status",
],
deny: ["write", "edit", "apply_patch", "exec", "process", "browser"],
},
},
],
},
}
```
```json5
{
agents: {
list: [
{
id: "public",
workspace: "~/.openclaw/workspace-public",
sandbox: { mode: "all", scope: "agent", workspaceAccess: "none" },
tools: {
allow: [
"sessions_list",
"sessions_history",
"sessions_send",
"sessions_spawn",
"session_status",
"whatsapp",
"telegram",
"slack",
"discord",
"gateway",
],
deny: [
"read",
"write",
"edit",
"apply_patch",
"exec",
"process",
"browser",
"canvas",
"nodes",
"cron",
"gateway",
"image",
],
},
},
],
},
}
```
See [Multi-Agent Sandbox & Tools](/tools/multi-agent-sandbox-tools) for precedence details.

## Session
```json5
{
session: {
scope: "per-sender",
dmScope: "main", // main | per-peer | per-channel-peer | per-account-channel-peer
identityLinks: {
alice: ["telegram:123456789", "discord:987654321012345678"],
},
reset: {
mode: "daily", // daily | idle
atHour: 4,
idleMinutes: 60,
},
resetByType: {
thread: { mode: "daily", atHour: 4 },
direct: { mode: "idle", idleMinutes: 240 },
group: { mode: "idle", idleMinutes: 120 },
},
resetTriggers: ["/new", "/reset"],
store: "~/.openclaw/agents/{agentId}/sessions/sessions.json",
parentForkMaxTokens: 100000, // skip parent-thread fork above this token count (0 disables)
maintenance: {
mode: "warn", // warn | enforce
pruneAfter: "30d",
maxEntries: 500,
rotateBytes: "10mb",
resetArchiveRetention: "30d", // duration or false
maxDiskBytes: "500mb", // optional hard budget
highWaterBytes: "400mb", // optional cleanup target
},
threadBindings: {
enabled: true,
idleHours: 24, // default inactivity auto-unfocus in hours (`0` disables)
maxAgeHours: 0, // default hard max age in hours (`0` disables)
},
mainKey: "main", // legacy (runtime always uses "main")
agentToAgent: { maxPingPongTurns: 5 },
sendPolicy: {
rules: [{ action: "deny", match: { channel: "discord", chatType: "group" } }],
default: "allow",
},
},
}
```
- **`dmScope`**: how DMs are grouped.
- `main`: all DMs share the main session.
- `per-peer`: isolate by sender id across channels.
- `per-channel-peer`: isolate per channel + sender (recommended for multi-user inboxes).
- `per-account-channel-peer`: isolate per account + channel + sender (recommended for multi-account).
- **`identityLinks`**: map canonical ids to provider-prefixed peers for cross-channel session sharing.
- **`reset`**: primary reset policy. `daily` resets at `atHour` local time; `idle` resets after `idleMinutes`. When both configured, whichever expires first wins.
- **`resetByType`**: per-type overrides (`direct`, `group`, `thread`). Legacy `dm` accepted as alias for `direct`.
- **`parentForkMaxTokens`**: max parent-session `totalTokens` allowed when creating a forked thread session (default `100000`).
- If parent `totalTokens` is above this value, OpenClaw starts a fresh thread session instead of inheriting parent transcript history.
- Set `0` to disable this guard and always allow parent forking.
- **`mainKey`**: legacy field. Runtime now always uses `"main"` for the main direct-chat bucket.
- **`sendPolicy`**: match by `channel`, `chatType` (`direct|group|channel`, with legacy `dm` alias), `keyPrefix`, or `rawKeyPrefix`. First deny wins.
- **`maintenance`**: session-store cleanup + retention controls.
- `mode`: `warn` emits warnings only; `enforce` applies cleanup.
- `pruneAfter`: age cutoff for stale entries (default `30d`).
- `maxEntries`: maximum number of entries in `sessions.json` (default `500`).
- `rotateBytes`: rotate `sessions.json` when it exceeds this size (default `10mb`).
- `resetArchiveRetention`: retention for `*.reset.` transcript archives. Defaults to `pruneAfter`; set `false` to disable.
- `maxDiskBytes`: optional sessions-directory disk budget. In `warn` mode it logs warnings; in `enforce` mode it removes oldest artifacts/sessions first.
- `highWaterBytes`: optional target after budget cleanup. Defaults to `80%` of `maxDiskBytes`.
- **`threadBindings`**: global defaults for thread-bound session features.
- `enabled`: master default switch (providers can override; Discord uses `channels.discord.threadBindings.enabled`)
- `idleHours`: default inactivity auto-unfocus in hours (`0` disables; providers can override)
- `maxAgeHours`: default hard max age in hours (`0` disables; providers can override)

## 消息与记忆
```json5
{
messages: {
responsePrefix: "🦞", // or "auto"
ackReaction: "👀",
ackReactionScope: "group-mentions", // group-mentions | group-all | direct | all
removeAckAfterReply: false,
queue: {
mode: "collect", // steer | followup | collect | steer-backlog | steer+backlog | queue | interrupt
debounceMs: 1000,
cap: 20,
drop: "summarize", // old | new | summarize
byChannel: {
whatsapp: "collect",
telegram: "collect",
},
},
inbound: {
debounceMs: 2000, // 0 disables
byChannel: {
whatsapp: 5000,
slack: 1500,
},
},
},
}
```
### 响应前缀
Per-channel/account overrides: `channels..responsePrefix`, `channels..accounts..responsePrefix`.
Resolution (most specific wins): account → channel → global. `""` disables and stops cascade. `"auto"` derives `[{identity.name}]`.
**Template variables:**
| 变量 | 描述 | 示例 |
| ----------------- | ---------------------- | --------------------------- |
| `{model}` | 短模型名称 | `claude-opus-4-6` |
| `{modelFull}` | 完整模型标识符 | `anthropic/claude-opus-4-6` |
| `{provider}` | 供应商名称 | `anthropic` |
| `{thinkingLevel}` | 当前思考级别 | `high`, `low`, `off` |
| `{identity.name}` | 智能体身份名称 | (same as `"auto"`) |
Variables are case-insensitive. `{think}` is an alias for `{thinkingLevel}`.
### 确认反应
- Defaults to active agent's `identity.emoji`, otherwise `"👀"`. Set `""` to disable.
- Per-channel overrides: `channels..ackReaction`, `channels..accounts..ackReaction`.
- Resolution order: account → channel → `messages.ackReaction` → identity fallback.
- Scope: `group-mentions` (default), `group-all`, `direct`, `all`.
- `removeAckAfterReply`: removes ack after reply (Slack/Discord/Telegram/Google Chat only).
### 入站消息防抖
Batches rapid text-only messages from the same sender into a single agent turn. Media/attachments flush immediately. Control commands bypass debouncing.
### TTS（文本转语音）
```json5
{
messages: {
tts: {
auto: "always", // off | always | inbound | tagged
mode: "final", // final | all
provider: "elevenlabs",
summaryModel: "openai/gpt-4.1-mini",
modelOverrides: { enabled: true },
maxTextLength: 4000,
timeoutMs: 30000,
prefsPath: "~/.openclaw/settings/tts.json",
elevenlabs: {
apiKey: "elevenlabs_api_key",
baseUrl: "https://api.elevenlabs.io",
voiceId: "voice_id",
modelId: "eleven_multilingual_v2",
seed: 42,
applyTextNormalization: "auto",
languageCode: "en",
voiceSettings: {
stability: 0.5,
similarityBoost: 0.75,
style: 0.0,
useSpeakerBoost: true,
speed: 1.0,
},
},
openai: {
apiKey: "openai_api_key",
model: "gpt-4o-mini-tts",
voice: "alloy",
},
},
},
}
```
- `auto` controls auto-TTS. `/tts off|always|inbound|tagged` overrides per session.
- `summaryModel` overrides `agents.defaults.model.primary` for auto-summary.
- `modelOverrides` is enabled by default; `modelOverrides.allowProvider` defaults to `false` (opt-in).
- API keys fall back to `ELEVENLABS_API_KEY`/`XI_API_KEY` and `OPENAI_API_KEY`.
---
## 语音对话
语音对话模式的默认值（macOS/iOS/Android）。
```json5
{
talk: {
voiceId: "elevenlabs_voice_id",
voiceAliases: {
Clawd: "EXAVITQu4vr4xnSDxMaL",
Roger: "CwhRBWXzGAHq8TQ4Fs17",
},
modelId: "eleven_v3",
outputFormat: "mp3_44100_128",
apiKey: "elevenlabs_api_key",
interruptOnSpeech: true,
},
}
```
- Voice IDs fall back to `ELEVENLABS_VOICE_ID` or `SAG_VOICE_ID`.
- `apiKey` falls back to `ELEVENLABS_API_KEY`.
- `voiceAliases` lets Talk directives use friendly names.
---
## 工具
### 工具配置文件
`tools.profile` sets a base allowlist before `tools.allow`/`tools.deny`:
| 配置文件 | 包含 |
| ----------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `minimal` | `session_status` only |
| `coding` | `group:fs`, `group:runtime`, `group:sessions`, `group:memory`, `image` |
| `messaging` | `group:messaging`, `sessions_list`, `sessions_history`, `sessions_send`, `session_status` |
| `full` | 无限制（等同于未设置） |
### 工具分组
| 分组 | 工具 |
| ------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `group:runtime` | `exec`, `process` (`bash` is accepted as an alias for `exec`) |
| `group:fs` | `read`, `write`, `edit`, `apply_patch` |
| `group:sessions` | `sessions_list`, `sessions_history`, `sessions_send`, `sessions_spawn`, `session_status` |
| `group:memory` | `memory_search`, `memory_get` |
| `group:web` | `web_search`, `web_fetch` |
| `group:ui` | `browser`, `canvas` |
| `group:automation` | `cron`, `gateway` |
| `group:messaging` | `message` |
| `group:nodes` | `nodes` |
| `group:openclaw` | All built-in tools (excludes provider plugins) |
### `tools.allow` / `tools.deny`
全局工具允许/拒绝策略（拒绝优先）。不区分大小写，支持 `*` 通配符。即使 Docker 沙箱关闭也会应用。
```json5
{
tools: { deny: ["browser", "canvas"] },
}
```
### `tools.byProvider`
进一步限制特定供应商或模型的工具。顺序：基础配置文件 → 供应商配置文件 → 允许/拒绝。
```json5
{
tools: {
profile: "coding",
byProvider: {
"google-antigravity": { profile: "minimal" },
"openai/gpt-5.2": { allow: ["group:fs", "sessions_list"] },
},
},
}
```
### `tools.elevated`
控制提升的（主机）执行访问：
```json5
{
tools: {
elevated: {
enabled: true,
allowFrom: {
whatsapp: ["+15555550123"],
discord: ["1234567890123", "987654321098765432"],
},
},
},
}
```
- Per-agent override (`agents.list[].tools.elevated`) can only further restrict.
- `/elevated on|off|ask|full` stores state per session; inline directives apply to single message.
- Elevated `exec` runs on the host, bypasses sandboxing.
### `tools.exec`
```json5
{
tools: {
exec: {
backgroundMs: 10000,
timeoutSec: 1800,
cleanupMs: 1800000,
notifyOnExit: true,
notifyOnExitEmptySuccess: false,
applyPatch: {
enabled: false,
allowModels: ["gpt-5.2"],
},
},
},
}
```
### `tools.loopDetection`
工具循环安全检查**默认禁用**。设置 `enabled: true` 以激活检测。
设置可以在 `tools.loopDetection` 中全局定义，并在 `agents.list[].tools.loopDetection` 中按智能体覆盖。
```json5
{
tools: {
loopDetection: {
enabled: true,
historySize: 30,
warningThreshold: 10,
criticalThreshold: 20,
globalCircuitBreakerThreshold: 30,
detectors: {
genericRepeat: true,
knownPollNoProgress: true,
pingPong: true,
},
},
},
}
```
- `historySize`: max tool-call history retained for loop analysis.
- `warningThreshold`: repeating no-progress pattern threshold for warnings.
- `criticalThreshold`: higher repeating threshold for blocking critical loops.
- `globalCircuitBreakerThreshold`: hard stop threshold for any no-progress run.
- `detectors.genericRepeat`: warn on repeated same-tool/same-args calls.
- `detectors.knownPollNoProgress`: warn/block on known poll tools (`process.poll`, `command_status`, etc.).
- `detectors.pingPong`: warn/block on alternating no-progress pair patterns.
- If `warningThreshold >= criticalThreshold` or `criticalThreshold >= globalCircuitBreakerThreshold`, validation fails.
### `tools.web`
```json5
{
tools: {
web: {
search: {
enabled: true,
apiKey: "brave_api_key", // or BRAVE_API_KEY env
maxResults: 5,
timeoutSeconds: 30,
cacheTtlMinutes: 15,
},
fetch: {
enabled: true,
maxChars: 50000,
maxCharsCap: 50000,
timeoutSeconds: 30,
cacheTtlMinutes: 15,
userAgent: "custom-ua",
},
},
},
}
```
### `tools.media`
配置入站媒体理解（图片/音频/视频）：
```json5
{
tools: {
media: {
concurrency: 2,
audio: {
enabled: true,
maxBytes: 20971520,
scope: {
default: "deny",
rules: [{ action: "allow", match: { chatType: "direct" } }],
},
models: [
{ provider: "openai", model: "gpt-4o-mini-transcribe" },
{ type: "cli", command: "whisper", args: ["--model", "base", "{{MediaPath}}"] },
],
},
video: {
enabled: true,
maxBytes: 52428800,
models: [{ provider: "google", model: "gemini-3-flash-preview" }],
},
},
},
}
```
**Provider entry** (`type: "provider"` or omitted):
- `provider`: API provider id (`openai`, `anthropic`, `google`/`gemini`, `groq`, etc.)
- `model`: model id override
- `profile` / `preferredProfile`: auth profile selection
**CLI entry** (`type: "cli"`):
- `command`: executable to run
- `args`: templated args (supports `{{MediaPath}}`, `{{Prompt}}`, `{{MaxChars}}`, etc.)
**Common fields:**
- `capabilities`: optional list (`image`, `audio`, `video`). Defaults: `openai`/`anthropic`/`minimax` → image, `google` → image+audio+video, `groq` → audio.
- `prompt`, `maxChars`, `maxBytes`, `timeoutSeconds`, `language`: per-entry overrides.
- Failures fall back to the next entry.
Provider auth follows standard order: auth profiles → env vars → `models.providers.*.apiKey`.
### `tools.agentToAgent`
```json5
{
tools: {
agentToAgent: {
enabled: false,
allow: ["home", "work"],
},
},
}
```
### `tools.sessions`
控制会话工具（`sessions_list`、`sessions_history`、`sessions_send`）可以访问哪些会话。
默认：`tree`（当前会话 + 由其派生的会话，如子智能体）。
```json5
{
tools: {
sessions: {
// "self" | "tree" | "agent" | "all"
visibility: "tree",
},
},
}
```
注意事项：
- `self`: only the current session key.
- `tree`: current session + sessions spawned by the current session (subagents).
- `agent`: any session belonging to the current agent id (can include other users if you run per-sender sessions under the same agent id).
- `all`: any session. Cross-agent targeting still requires `tools.agentToAgent`.
- Sandbox clamp: when the current session is sandboxed and `agents.defaults.sandbox.sessionToolsVisibility="spawned"`, visibility is forced to `tree` even if `tools.sessions.visibility="all"`.
### `tools.subagents`
```json5
{
agents: {
defaults: {
subagents: {
model: "minimax/MiniMax-M2.1",
maxConcurrent: 1,
runTimeoutSeconds: 900,
archiveAfterMinutes: 60,
},
},
},
}
```
- `model`: default model for spawned sub-agents. If omitted, sub-agents inherit the caller's model.
- `runTimeoutSeconds`: default timeout (seconds) for `sessions_spawn` when the tool call omits `runTimeoutSeconds`. `0` means no timeout.
- Per-subagent tool policy: `tools.subagents.tools.allow` / `tools.subagents.tools.deny`.
---
## 自定义供应商和基础 URL
OpenClaw 使用 pi-coding-agent 模型目录。通过配置中的 `models.providers` 或 `~/.openclaw/agents//agent/models.json` 添加自定义供应商。
```json5
{
models: {
mode: "merge", // merge (default) | replace
providers: {
"custom-proxy": {
baseUrl: "http://localhost:4000/v1",
apiKey: "LITELLM_KEY",
api: "openai-completions", // openai-completions | openai-responses | anthropic-messages | google-generative-ai
models: [
{
id: "llama-3.1-8b",
name: "Llama 3.1 8B",
reasoning: false,
input: ["text"],
cost: { input: 0, output: 0, cacheRead: 0, cacheWrite: 0 },
contextWindow: 128000,
maxTokens: 32000,
},
],
},
},
},
}
```
- Use `authHeader: true` + `headers` for custom auth needs.
- Override agent config root with `OPENCLAW_AGENT_DIR` (or `PI_CODING_AGENT_DIR`).
- Merge precedence for matching provider IDs:
- Non-empty agent `models.json` `apiKey`/`baseUrl` win.
- Empty or missing agent `apiKey`/`baseUrl` fall back to `models.providers` in config.
- Matching model `contextWindow`/`maxTokens` use the higher value between explicit config and implicit catalog values.
- Use `models.mode: "replace"` when you want config to fully rewrite `models.json`.
### 供应商字段详情
- `models.mode`: provider catalog behavior (`merge` or `replace`).
- `models.providers`: custom provider map keyed by provider id.
- `models.providers.*.api`: request adapter (`openai-completions`, `openai-responses`, `anthropic-messages`, `google-generative-ai`, etc).
- `models.providers.*.apiKey`: provider credential (prefer SecretRef/env substitution).
- `models.providers.*.auth`: auth strategy (`api-key`, `token`, `oauth`, `aws-sdk`).
- `models.providers.*.injectNumCtxForOpenAICompat`: for Ollama + `openai-completions`, inject `options.num_ctx` into requests (default: `true`).
- `models.providers.*.authHeader`: force credential transport in the `Authorization` header when required.
- `models.providers.*.baseUrl`: upstream API base URL.
- `models.providers.*.headers`: extra static headers for proxy/tenant routing.
- `models.providers.*.models`: explicit provider model catalog entries.
- `models.bedrockDiscovery`: Bedrock auto-discovery settings root.
- `models.bedrockDiscovery.enabled`: turn discovery polling on/off.
- `models.bedrockDiscovery.region`: AWS region for discovery.
- `models.bedrockDiscovery.providerFilter`: optional provider-id filter for targeted discovery.
- `models.bedrockDiscovery.refreshInterval`: polling interval for discovery refresh.
- `models.bedrockDiscovery.defaultContextWindow`: fallback context window for discovered models.
- `models.bedrockDiscovery.defaultMaxTokens`: fallback max output tokens for discovered models.
### 供应商示例
```json5
{
env: { CEREBRAS_API_KEY: "sk-..." },
agents: {
defaults: {
model: {
primary: "cerebras/zai-glm-4.7",
fallbacks: ["cerebras/zai-glm-4.6"],
},
models: {
"cerebras/zai-glm-4.7": { alias: "GLM 4.7 (Cerebras)" },
"cerebras/zai-glm-4.6": { alias: "GLM 4.6 (Cerebras)" },

{ id: "zai-glm-4.6", name: "GLM 4.6 (Cerebras)" },
],
},
},
},
}
```
Use `cerebras/zai-glm-4.7` for Cerebras; `zai/glm-4.7` for Z.AI direct.
```json5
{
agents: {
defaults: {
model: { primary: "opencode/claude-opus-4-6" },
models: { "opencode/claude-opus-4-6": { alias: "Opus" } },
},
},
}
```
Set `OPENCODE_API_KEY` (or `OPENCODE_ZEN_API_KEY`). Shortcut: `openclaw onboard --auth-choice opencode-zen`.
```json5
{
agents: {
defaults: {
model: { primary: "zai/glm-4.7" },
models: { "zai/glm-4.7": {} },
},
},
}
```
Set `ZAI_API_KEY`. `z.ai/*` and `z-ai/*` are accepted aliases. Shortcut: `openclaw onboard --auth-choice zai-api-key`.
- General endpoint: `https://api.z.ai/api/paas/v4`
- Coding endpoint (default): `https://api.z.ai/api/coding/paas/v4`
- For the general endpoint, define a custom provider with the base URL override.
```json5
{
env: { MOONSHOT_API_KEY: "sk-..." },
agents: {
defaults: {
model: { primary: "moonshot/kimi-k2.5" },
models: { "moonshot/kimi-k2.5": { alias: "Kimi K2.5" } },
},
},
models: {
mode: "merge",
providers: {
moonshot: {
baseUrl: "https://api.moonshot.ai/v1",
apiKey: "${MOONSHOT_API_KEY}",
api: "openai-completions",
models: [
{
id: "kimi-k2.5",
name: "Kimi K2.5",
reasoning: false,
input: ["text"],
cost: { input: 0, output: 0, cacheRead: 0, cacheWrite: 0 },
contextWindow: 256000,
maxTokens: 8192,
},
],
},
},
},
}
```
For the China endpoint: `baseUrl: "https://api.moonshot.cn/v1"` or `openclaw onboard --auth-choice moonshot-api-key-cn`.
```json5
{
env: { KIMI_API_KEY: "sk-..." },
agents: {
defaults: {
model: { primary: "kimi-coding/k2p5" },
models: { "kimi-coding/k2p5": { alias: "Kimi K2.5" } },
},
},
}
```
Anthropic-compatible, built-in provider. Shortcut: `openclaw onboard --auth-choice kimi-code-api-key`.
```json5
{
env: { SYNTHETIC_API_KEY: "sk-..." },
agents: {
defaults: {
model: { primary: "synthetic/hf:MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-M2.1" },
models: { "synthetic/hf:MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-M2.1": { alias: "MiniMax M2.1" } },
},
},
models: {
mode: "merge",
providers: {
synthetic: {
baseUrl: "https://api.synthetic.new/anthropic",
apiKey: "${SYNTHETIC_API_KEY}",
api: "anthropic-messages",
models: [
{
id: "hf:MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-M2.1",
name: "MiniMax M2.1",
reasoning: false,
input: ["text"],
cost: { input: 0, output: 0, cacheRead: 0, cacheWrite: 0 },
contextWindow: 192000,
maxTokens: 65536,
},
],
},
},
},
}
```
Base URL should omit `/v1` (Anthropic client appends it). Shortcut: `openclaw onboard --auth-choice synthetic-api-key`.
```json5
{
agents: {
defaults: {
model: { primary: "minimax/MiniMax-M2.1" },
models: {
"minimax/MiniMax-M2.1": { alias: "Minimax" },
},
},
},
models: {
mode: "merge",
providers: {
minimax: {
baseUrl: "https://api.minimax.io/anthropic",
apiKey: "${MINIMAX_API_KEY}",
api: "anthropic-messages",
models: [
{
id: "MiniMax-M2.1",
name: "MiniMax M2.1",
reasoning: false,
input: ["text"],
cost: { input: 15, output: 60, cacheRead: 2, cacheWrite: 10 },
contextWindow: 200000,
maxTokens: 8192,
},
],
},
},
},
}
```
Set `MINIMAX_API_KEY`. Shortcut: `openclaw onboard --auth-choice minimax-api`.
See [Local Models](/gateway/local-models). TL;DR: run MiniMax M2.1 via LM Studio Responses API on serious hardware; keep hosted models merged for fallback.

## 技能
```json5
{
skills: {
allowBundled: ["gemini", "peekaboo"],
load: {
extraDirs: ["~/Projects/agent-scripts/skills"],
},
install: {
preferBrew: true,
nodeManager: "npm", // npm | pnpm | yarn
},
entries: {
"nano-banana-pro": {
apiKey: { source: "env", provider: "default", id: "GEMINI_API_KEY" }, // or plaintext string
env: { GEMINI_API_KEY: "GEMINI_KEY_HERE" },
},
peekaboo: { enabled: true },
sag: { enabled: false },
},
},
}
```
- `allowBundled`: optional allowlist for bundled skills only (managed/workspace skills unaffected).
- `entries..enabled: false` disables a skill even if bundled/installed.
- `entries..apiKey`: convenience for skills declaring a primary env var (plaintext string or SecretRef object).
---
## 插件
```json5
{
plugins: {
enabled: true,
allow: ["voice-call"],
deny: [],
load: {
paths: ["~/Projects/oss/voice-call-extension"],
},
entries: {
"voice-call": {
enabled: true,
config: { provider: "twilio" },
},
},
},
}
```
- Loaded from `~/.openclaw/extensions`, `/.openclaw/extensions`, plus `plugins.load.paths`.
- **Config changes require a gateway restart.**
- `allow`: optional allowlist (only listed plugins load). `deny` wins.
- `plugins.entries..apiKey`: plugin-level API key convenience field (when supported by the plugin).
- `plugins.entries..env`: plugin-scoped env var map.
- `plugins.entries..config`: plugin-defined config object (validated by plugin schema).
- `plugins.slots.memory`: pick the active memory plugin id, or `"none"` to disable memory plugins.
- `plugins.installs`: CLI-managed install metadata used by `openclaw plugins update`.
- Includes `source`, `spec`, `sourcePath`, `installPath`, `version`, `resolvedName`, `resolvedVersion`, `resolvedSpec`, `integrity`, `shasum`, `resolvedAt`, `installedAt`.
- Treat `plugins.installs.*` as managed state; prefer CLI commands over manual edits.
See [Plugins](/tools/plugin).
---
## 浏览器
```json5
{
browser: {
enabled: true,
evaluateEnabled: true,
defaultProfile: "chrome",
ssrfPolicy: {
dangerouslyAllowPrivateNetwork: true, // default trusted-network mode
// allowPrivateNetwork: true, // legacy alias
// hostnameAllowlist: ["*.example.com", "example.com"],
// allowedHostnames: ["localhost"],
},
profiles: {
openclaw: { cdpPort: 18800, color: "#FF4500" },
work: { cdpPort: 18801, color: "#0066CC" },
remote: { cdpUrl: "http://10.0.0.42:9222", color: "#00AA00" },
},
color: "#FF4500",
// headless: false,
// noSandbox: false,
// executablePath: "/Applications/Brave Browser.app/Contents/MacOS/Brave Browser",
// attachOnly: false,
},
}
```
- `evaluateEnabled: false` disables `act:evaluate` and `wait --fn`.
- `ssrfPolicy.dangerouslyAllowPrivateNetwork` defaults to `true` when unset (trusted-network model).
- Set `ssrfPolicy.dangerouslyAllowPrivateNetwork: false` for strict public-only browser navigation.
- `ssrfPolicy.allowPrivateNetwork` remains supported as a legacy alias.
- In strict mode, use `ssrfPolicy.hostnameAllowlist` and `ssrfPolicy.allowedHostnames` for explicit exceptions.
- Remote profiles are attach-only (start/stop/reset disabled).
- Auto-detect order: default browser if Chromium-based → Chrome → Brave → Edge → Chromium → Chrome Canary.
- Control service: loopback only (port derived from `gateway.port`, default `18791`).
---
## 界面
```json5
{
ui: {
seamColor: "#FF4500",
assistant: {
name: "OpenClaw",
avatar: "CB", // emoji, short text, image URL, or data URI
},
},
}
```
- `seamColor`: accent color for native app UI chrome (Talk Mode bubble tint, etc.).
- `assistant`: Control UI identity override. Falls back to active agent identity.
---
## Gateway
```json5
{
gateway: {
mode: "local", // local | remote
port: 18789,
bind: "loopback",
auth: {
mode: "token", // none | token | password | trusted-proxy
token: "your-token",
// password: "your-password", // or OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_PASSWORD
// trustedProxy: { userHeader: "x-forwarded-user" }, // for mode=trusted-proxy; see /gateway/trusted-proxy-auth
allowTailscale: true,
rateLimit: {
maxAttempts: 10,
windowMs: 60000,
lockoutMs: 300000,
exemptLoopback: true,
},
},
tailscale: {
mode: "off", // off | serve | funnel
resetOnExit: false,
},
controlUi: {
enabled: true,
basePath: "/openclaw",
// root: "dist/control-ui",
// allowedOrigins: ["https://control.example.com"], // required for non-loopback Control UI
// dangerouslyAllowHostHeaderOriginFallback: false, // dangerous Host-header origin fallback mode
// allowInsecureAuth: false,
// dangerouslyDisableDeviceAuth: false,
},
remote: {
url: "ws://gateway.tailnet:18789",
transport: "ssh", // ssh | direct
token: "your-token",
// password: "your-password",
},
trustedProxies: ["10.0.0.1"],
// Optional. Default false.
allowRealIpFallback: false,
tools: {
// Additional /tools/invoke HTTP denies
deny: ["browser"],
// Remove tools from the default HTTP deny list
allow: ["gateway"],
},
},
}
```
- `mode`: `local` (run gateway) or `remote` (connect to remote gateway). Gateway refuses to start unless `local`.
- `port`: single multiplexed port for WS + HTTP. Precedence: `--port` > `OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_PORT` > `gateway.port` > `18789`.
- `bind`: `auto`, `loopback` (default), `lan` (`0.0.0.0`), `tailnet` (Tailscale IP only), or `custom`.
- **Auth**: required by default. Non-loopback binds require a shared token/password. Onboarding wizard generates a token by default.
- `gateway.auth.mode: "none"`: explicit no-auth mode. Use only for trusted local loopback setups; this is intentionally not offered by onboarding prompts.
- `gateway.auth.mode: "trusted-proxy"`: delegate auth to an identity-aware reverse proxy and trust identity headers from `gateway.trustedProxies` (see [Trusted Proxy Auth](/gateway/trusted-proxy-auth)).
- `gateway.auth.allowTailscale`: when `true`, Tailscale Serve identity headers can satisfy Control UI/WebSocket auth (verified via `tailscale whois`); HTTP API endpoints still require token/password auth. This tokenless flow assumes the gateway host is trusted. Defaults to `true` when `tailscale.mode = "serve"`.
- `gateway.auth.rateLimit`: optional failed-auth limiter. Applies per client IP and per auth scope (shared-secret and device-token are tracked independently). Blocked attempts return `429` + `Retry-After`.
- `gateway.auth.rateLimit.exemptLoopback` defaults to `true`; set `false` when you intentionally want localhost traffic rate-limited too (for test setups or strict proxy deployments).
- Browser-origin WS auth attempts are always throttled with loopback exemption disabled (defense-in-depth against browser-based localhost brute force).
- `tailscale.mode`: `serve` (tailnet only, loopback bind) or `funnel` (public, requires auth).
- `controlUi.allowedOrigins`: explicit browser-origin allowlist for Gateway WebSocket connects. Required when browser clients are expected from non-loopback origins.
- `controlUi.dangerouslyAllowHostHeaderOriginFallback`: dangerous mode that enables Host-header origin fallback for deployments that intentionally rely on Host-header origin policy.
- `remote.transport`: `ssh` (default) or `direct` (ws/wss). For `direct`, `remote.url` must be `ws://` or `wss://`.
- `gateway.remote.token` / `.password` are remote-client credential fields. They do not configure gateway auth by themselves.
- Local gateway call paths can use `gateway.remote.*` as fallback when `gateway.auth.*` is unset.
- `trustedProxies`: reverse proxy IPs that terminate TLS. Only list proxies you control.
- `allowRealIpFallback`: when `true`, the gateway accepts `X-Real-IP` if `X-Forwarded-For` is missing. Default `false` for fail-closed behavior.
- `gateway.tools.deny`: extra tool names blocked for HTTP `POST /tools/invoke` (extends default deny list).
- `gateway.tools.allow`: remove tool names from the default HTTP deny list.
### OpenAI 兼容端点
- Chat Completions: disabled by default. Enable with `gateway.http.endpoints.chatCompletions.enabled: true`.
- Responses API: `gateway.http.endpoints.responses.enabled`.
- Responses URL-input hardening:
- `gateway.http.endpoints.responses.maxUrlParts`
- `gateway.http.endpoints.responses.files.urlAllowlist`
- `gateway.http.endpoints.responses.images.urlAllowlist`
- Optional response hardening header:
- `gateway.http.securityHeaders.strictTransportSecurity` (set only for HTTPS origins you control; see [Trusted Proxy Auth](/gateway/trusted-proxy-auth#tls-termination-and-hsts))
### 多实例隔离
Run multiple gateways on one host with unique ports and state dirs:
```bash
OPENCLAW_CONFIG_PATH=~/.openclaw/a.json \
OPENCLAW_STATE_DIR=~/.openclaw-a \
openclaw gateway --port 19001
```
Convenience flags: `--dev` (uses `~/.openclaw-dev` + port `19001`), `--profile ` (uses `~/.openclaw-`).
See [Multiple Gateways](/gateway/multiple-gateways).

## Hooks
```json5
{
hooks: {
enabled: true,
token: "shared-secret",
path: "/hooks",
maxBodyBytes: 262144,
defaultSessionKey: "hook:ingress",
allowRequestSessionKey: false,
allowedSessionKeyPrefixes: ["hook:"],
allowedAgentIds: ["hooks", "main"],
presets: ["gmail"],
transformsDir: "~/.openclaw/hooks/transforms",
mappings: [
{
match: { path: "gmail" },
action: "agent",
agentId: "hooks",
wakeMode: "now",
name: "Gmail",
sessionKey: "hook:gmail:{{messages[0].id}}",
messageTemplate: "From: {{messages[0].from}}\nSubject: {{messages[0].subject}}\n{{messages[0].snippet}}",
deliver: true,
channel: "last",
model: "openai/gpt-5.2-mini",
},
],
},
}
```
Auth: `Authorization: Bearer ` or `x-openclaw-token: `.
**Endpoints:**
- `POST /hooks/wake` → `{ text, mode?: "now"|"next-heartbeat" }`
- `POST /hooks/agent` → `{ message, name?, agentId?, sessionKey?, wakeMode?, deliver?, channel?, to?, model?, thinking?, timeoutSeconds? }`
- `sessionKey` from request payload is accepted only when `hooks.allowRequestSessionKey=true` (default: `false`).
- `POST /hooks/` → resolved via `hooks.mappings`
- `match.path` matches sub-path after `/hooks` (e.g. `/hooks/gmail` → `gmail`).
- `match.source` matches a payload field for generic paths.
- Templates like `{{messages[0].subject}}` read from the payload.
- `transform` can point to a JS/TS module returning a hook action.
- `transform.module` must be a relative path and stays within `hooks.transformsDir` (absolute paths and traversal are rejected).
- `agentId` routes to a specific agent; unknown IDs fall back to default.
- `allowedAgentIds`: restricts explicit routing (`*` or omitted = allow all, `[]` = deny all).
- `defaultSessionKey`: optional fixed session key for hook agent runs without explicit `sessionKey`.
- `allowRequestSessionKey`: allow `/hooks/agent` callers to set `sessionKey` (default: `false`).
- `allowedSessionKeyPrefixes`: optional prefix allowlist for explicit `sessionKey` values (request + mapping), e.g. `["hook:"]`.
- `deliver: true` sends final reply to a channel; `channel` defaults to `last`.
- `model` overrides LLM for this hook run (must be allowed if model catalog is set).
### Gmail 集成
```json5
{
hooks: {
gmail: {
account: "openclaw@gmail.com",
topic: "projects//topics/gog-gmail-watch",
subscription: "gog-gmail-watch-push",
pushToken: "shared-push-token",
hookUrl: "http://127.0.0.1:18789/hooks/gmail",
includeBody: true,
maxBytes: 20000,
renewEveryMinutes: 720,
serve: { bind: "127.0.0.1", port: 8788, path: "/" },
tailscale: { mode: "funnel", path: "/gmail-pubsub" },
model: "openrouter/meta-llama/llama-3.3-70b-instruct:free",
thinking: "off",
},
},
}
```
- Gateway auto-starts `gog gmail watch serve` on boot when configured. Set `OPENCLAW_SKIP_GMAIL_WATCHER=1` to disable.
- Don't run a separate `gog gmail watch serve` alongside the Gateway.
---
## Canvas 托管
```json5
{
canvasHost: {
root: "~/.openclaw/workspace/canvas",
liveReload: true,
// enabled: false, // or OPENCLAW_SKIP_CANVAS_HOST=1
},
}
```
- Serves agent-editable HTML/CSS/JS and A2UI over HTTP under the Gateway port:
- `http://:/__openclaw__/canvas/`
- `http://:/__openclaw__/a2ui/`
- Local-only: keep `gateway.bind: "loopback"` (default).
- Non-loopback binds: canvas routes require Gateway auth (token/password/trusted-proxy), same as other Gateway HTTP surfaces.
- Node WebViews typically don't send auth headers; after a node is paired and connected, the Gateway advertises node-scoped capability URLs for canvas/A2UI access.
- Capability URLs are bound to the active node WS session and expire quickly. IP-based fallback is not used.
- Injects live-reload client into served HTML.
- Auto-creates starter `index.html` when empty.
- Also serves A2UI at `/__openclaw__/a2ui/`.
- Changes require a gateway restart.
- Disable live reload for large directories or `EMFILE` errors.
---
## 服务发现
### mDNS (Bonjour)
```json5
{
discovery: {
mdns: {
mode: "minimal", // minimal | full | off
},
},
}
```
- `minimal` (default): omit `cliPath` + `sshPort` from TXT records.
- `full`: include `cliPath` + `sshPort`.
- Hostname defaults to `openclaw`. Override with `OPENCLAW_MDNS_HOSTNAME`.
### 广域发现 (DNS-SD)
```json5
{
discovery: {
wideArea: { enabled: true },
},
}
```
在 `~/.openclaw/dns/` 下写入单播 DNS-SD 区域。如需跨网络发现，请配合 DNS 服务器（推荐 CoreDNS）+ Tailscale 分割 DNS。
Setup: `openclaw dns setup --apply`.
---
## 环境变量
### `env` (inline env vars)
```json5
{
env: {
OPENROUTER_API_KEY: "sk-or-...",
vars: {
GROQ_API_KEY: "gsk-...",
},
shellEnv: {
enabled: true,
timeoutMs: 15000,
},
},
}
```
- 内联环境变量仅在进程环境中缺少该键时应用。
- `.env` files: CWD `.env` + `~/.openclaw/.env` (neither overrides existing vars).
- `shellEnv`: imports missing expected keys from your login shell profile.
- See [Environment](/help/environment) for full precedence.
### 环境变量替换
Reference env vars in any config string with `${VAR_NAME}`:
```json5
{
gateway: {
auth: { token: "${OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_TOKEN}" },
},
}
```
- 仅匹配大写名称：`[A-Z_][A-Z0-9_]*`。
- 缺失/为空的变量在配置加载时会抛出错误。
- Escape with `$${VAR}` for a literal `${VAR}`.
- Works with `$include`.
---
## 密钥管理
密钥引用是增量的：纯文本值仍然有效。
### `SecretRef`
使用一种对象格式：
```json5
{ source: "env" | "file" | "exec", provider: "default", id: "..." }
```
Validation:
- `provider` pattern: `^[a-z][a-z0-9_-]{0,63}$`
- `source: "env"` id pattern: `^[A-Z][A-Z0-9_]{0,127}$`
- `source: "file"` id: absolute JSON pointer (for example `"/providers/openai/apiKey"`)
- `source: "exec"` id pattern: `^[A-Za-z0-9][A-Za-z0-9._:/-]{0,255}$`
### 配置中支持的字段
- `models.providers..apiKey`
- `skills.entries..apiKey`
- `channels.googlechat.serviceAccount`
- `channels.googlechat.serviceAccountRef`
- `channels.googlechat.accounts..serviceAccount`
- `channels.googlechat.accounts..serviceAccountRef`
### 密钥供应商配置
```json5
{
secrets: {
providers: {
default: { source: "env" }, // optional explicit env provider
filemain: {
source: "file",
path: "~/.openclaw/secrets.json",
mode: "json",
timeoutMs: 5000,
},
vault: {
source: "exec",
command: "/usr/local/bin/openclaw-vault-resolver",
passEnv: ["PATH", "VAULT_ADDR"],
},
},
defaults: {
env: "default",
file: "filemain",
exec: "vault",
},
},
}
```
注意事项：
- `file` provider supports `mode: "json"` and `mode: "singleValue"` (`id` must be `"value"` in singleValue mode).
- `exec` provider requires an absolute `command` path and uses protocol payloads on stdin/stdout.
- By default, symlink command paths are rejected. Set `allowSymlinkCommand: true` to allow symlink paths while validating the resolved target path.
- If `trustedDirs` is configured, the trusted-dir check applies to the resolved target path.
- `exec` child environment is minimal by default; pass required variables explicitly with `passEnv`.
- Secret refs are resolved at activation time into an in-memory snapshot, then request paths read the snapshot only.

## 认证存储
```json5
{
auth: {
profiles: {
"anthropic:me@example.com": { provider: "anthropic", mode: "oauth", email: "me@example.com" },
"anthropic:work": { provider: "anthropic", mode: "api_key" },
},
order: {
anthropic: ["anthropic:me@example.com", "anthropic:work"],
},
},
}
```
- Per-agent auth profiles stored at `/auth-profiles.json`.
- Auth profiles support value-level refs (`keyRef` for `api_key`, `tokenRef` for `token`).
- Static runtime credentials come from in-memory resolved snapshots; legacy static `auth.json` entries are scrubbed when discovered.
- Legacy OAuth imports from `~/.openclaw/credentials/oauth.json`.
- See [OAuth](/concepts/oauth).
- Secrets runtime behavior and `audit/configure/apply` tooling: [Secrets Management](/gateway/secrets).

## 日志
```json5
{
logging: {
level: "info",
file: "/tmp/openclaw/openclaw.log",
consoleLevel: "info",
consoleStyle: "pretty", // pretty | compact | json
redactSensitive: "tools", // off | tools
redactPatterns: ["\\bTOKEN\\b\\s*[=:]\\s*([\"']?)([^\\s\"']+)\\1"],
},
}
```
- Default log file: `/tmp/openclaw/openclaw-YYYY-MM-DD.log`.
- Set `logging.file` for a stable path.
- `consoleLevel` bumps to `debug` when `--verbose`.

## 向导
由 CLI 向导（`onboard`、`configure`、`doctor`）写入的元数据：
```json5
{
wizard: {
lastRunAt: "2026-01-01T00:00:00.000Z",
lastRunVersion: "2026.1.4",
lastRunCommit: "abc1234",
lastRunCommand: "configure",
lastRunMode: "local",
},
}
```
---
## 身份标识
```json5
{
agents: {
list: [
{
id: "main",
identity: {
name: "Samantha",
theme: "helpful sloth",
emoji: "🦥",
avatar: "avatars/samantha.png",
},
},
],
},
}
```
由 macOS 引导助手写入。推导默认值：
- `messages.ackReaction` from `identity.emoji` (falls back to 👀)
- `mentionPatterns` from `identity.name`/`identity.emoji`
- `avatar` accepts: workspace-relative path, `http(s)` URL, or `data:` URI

## Bridge（旧版，已移除）
当前版本不再包含 TCP 桥接。节点通过网关 WebSocket 连接。`bridge.*` 键不再属于配置模式（验证将失败直到移除；`openclaw doctor --fix` 可以清除未知键）。
```json
{
"bridge": {
"enabled": true,
"port": 18790,
"bind": "tailnet",
"tls": {
"enabled": true,
"autoGenerate": true
}
}
}
```
---
## 定时任务
```json5
{
cron: {
enabled: true,
maxConcurrentRuns: 2,
webhook: "https://example.invalid/legacy", // deprecated fallback for stored notify:true jobs
webhookToken: "replace-with-dedicated-token", // optional bearer token for outbound webhook auth
sessionRetention: "24h", // duration string or false
runLog: {
maxBytes: "2mb", // default 2_000_000 bytes
keepLines: 2000, // default 2000
},
},
}
```
- `sessionRetention`: how long to keep completed isolated cron run sessions before pruning from `sessions.json`. Also controls cleanup of archived deleted cron transcripts. Default: `24h`; set `false` to disable.
- `runLog.maxBytes`: max size per run log file (`cron/runs/.jsonl`) before pruning. Default: `2_000_000` bytes.
- `runLog.keepLines`: newest lines retained when run-log pruning is triggered. Default: `2000`.
- `webhookToken`: bearer token used for cron webhook POST delivery (`delivery.mode = "webhook"`), if omitted no auth header is sent.
- `webhook`: deprecated legacy fallback webhook URL (http/https) used only for stored jobs that still have `notify: true`.
See [Cron Jobs](/automation/cron-jobs).

## 媒体模型模板变量
在 `tools.media.models[].args` 中展开的模板占位符：
| 变量 | 描述 |
| ------------------ | ------------------------------------------------- |
| `{{Body}}` | 完整的入站消息正文 |
| `{{RawBody}}` | 原始正文（无历史/发送者包装） |
| `{{BodyStripped}}` | 去除群组提及的正文 |
| `{{From}}` | 发送者标识符 |
| `{{To}}` | 目标标识符 |
| `{{MessageSid}}` | 渠道消息 ID |
| `{{SessionId}}` | 当前会话 UUID |
| `{{IsNewSession}}` | `"true"` when new session created |
| `{{MediaUrl}}` | 入站媒体伪 URL |
| `{{MediaPath}}` | 本地媒体路径 |
| `{{MediaType}}` | Media type (image/audio/document/…) |
| `{{Transcript}}` | 音频转录 |
| `{{Prompt}}` | Resolved media prompt for CLI entries |
| `{{MaxChars}}` | Resolved max output chars for CLI entries |
| `{{ChatType}}` | `"direct"` or `"group"` |
| `{{GroupSubject}}` | Group subject (best effort) |
| `{{GroupMembers}}` | Group members preview (best effort) |
| `{{SenderName}}` | Sender display name (best effort) |
| `{{SenderE164}}` | Sender phone number (best effort) |
| `{{Provider}}` | Provider hint (whatsapp, telegram, discord, etc.) |

## 配置包含（`$include`）
将配置拆分为多个文件：
```json5
// ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json
{
gateway: { port: 18789 },
agents: { $include: "./agents.json5" },
broadcast: {
$include: ["./clients/mueller.json5", "./clients/schmidt.json5"],
},
}
```
**Merge behavior:**
- 单个文件：替换包含对象。
- 文件数组：按顺序深度合并（后者覆盖前者）。
- 兄弟键：在包含之后合并（覆盖包含的值）。
- 嵌套包含：最多 10 层深度。
- Paths: resolved relative to the including file, but must stay inside the top-level config directory (`dirname` of the main config file). Absolute/`../` forms are allowed only when they still resolve inside that boundary.
- 错误：对缺失文件、解析错误和循环包含提供清晰的错误消息。
