# 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.
