Canvas
Overview
The Canvas feature in OpenClaw is a lightweight visual workspace for HTML/CSS/JS, A2UI, and small interactive UI surfaces embedded in the macOS app using WKWebView.
Key Storage & Access
Canvas files are stored in ~/Library/Application Support/OpenClaw/canvas/<session>/ and served through a custom openclaw-canvas:// URL scheme that prevents directory traversal attacks.
Core Capabilities
The agent can control Canvas through several operations:
- Display or hide the panel
- Navigate to local paths or external URLs
- Execute JavaScript commands
- Generate snapshot images
A2UI Integration
The system supports A2UI v0.8 server-to-client messages including surfaceUpdate, dataModelUpdate, and deleteSurface. The newer createSurface (v0.9) remains unsupported.
Agent Triggering
Canvas content can initiate new agent runs using deep links formatted as openclaw://agent?message=<text>, with confirmation prompts unless a valid key is supplied.
Security Features
Canvas scheme blocks directory traversal; files must live under the session root. External URLs require explicit navigation permissions.
