OpenClaw Tools Documentation

Overview

OpenClaw provides first-class agent tools for browser automation, canvas rendering, node management, and scheduled tasks. These replace legacy openclaw-* skills with typed implementations that don't require shell execution.

Tool Access Control

Global Configuration

Tools can be restricted via tools.allow and tools.deny in openclaw.json. Matching is case-insensitive, wildcards are supported, and deny rules take precedence.

Tool Profiles

Base allowlists can be set with tools.profile:

minimal: session status only
coding: filesystem, runtime, sessions, memory, and image analysis
messaging: messaging channels and session management
full: unrestricted access

Provider-Specific Policies

The tools.byProvider configuration narrows tool access for particular providers or model versions without affecting global settings.

Tool Groups

Shorthand groups simplify policy configuration:

group:runtime (exec, bash, process)
group:fs (file operations)
group:sessions (session management)
group:memory (memory tools)
group:web (web search and fetch)
group:ui (browser and canvas)
group:automation (cron and gateway)
group:messaging (message delivery)

Core Tools

exec: Execute shell commands with configurable timeout, background execution, and elevated privileges when allowed.

process: Manage background sessions with polling, logging, and termination.

web_search / web_fetch: Query the web and extract readable content from URLs.

browser: Control a dedicated browser instance for UI automation, screenshots, and PDF generation.

canvas: Render and interact with node canvas presentations.

nodes: Discover paired nodes and capture camera/screen media with user consent.

message: Send communications across Discord, Slack, Teams, WhatsApp, and other platforms.

cron: Schedule and manage gateway jobs.

Safety Practices

Direct system execution should only occur with explicit user consent. Media capture (camera/screen) requires foreground access and user approval.
