Multi-Agent Routing Documentation

Core Concept

OpenClaw supports running multiple isolated agents (separate workspace + agentDir + sessions), plus multiple channel accounts within a single Gateway instance. Messages are routed to appropriate agents via bindings.

What Defines an Agent

An agent comprises:

  • Its own workspace (files, configuration documents, notes)
  • Dedicated state directory (agentDir) for auth and configuration
  • Isolated session store for chat history

Auth profiles are per-agent. Each agent reads from its own dedicated auth-profiles.json location, preventing credential sharing unless explicitly copied.

Key Path Structure

  • Config: ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json
  • Workspace: ~/.openclaw/workspace (or agent-specific variant)
  • Sessions: ~/.openclaw/agents/<agentId>/sessions

Routing Mechanism

Bindings follow deterministic matching with most-specific wins priority. Priority follows this order: peer match, guildId, teamId, accountId, channel-level match, then fallback to default agent.

Multi-Account Scenarios

Users can route different WhatsApp accounts to separate agents, or split a single account's DMs across multiple agents by matching sender E.164 identifiers with peer.kind: "dm".

Security Features

As of v2026.1.6, agents support per-agent sandbox modes and tool restrictions. Different permissions per agent enable security isolation while maintaining flexibility across your Gateway deployment.
