openclaw - 💡(How to fix) Fix Bug: exec denied: allowlist miss despite correct configuration [9 comments, 5 participants]

Fix Plan

The fix involves updating the execApprovals.json file and ensuring correct configuration for allowFrom and security settings.

• Update execApprovals.json to include the necessary approvals:

[
  {
    "command": "date",
    "approved": true
  }
]

• Verify tools.exec.allowFrom is set to allow execution from the required sources. For example:

{
  "tools": {
    "exec": {
      "allowFrom": ["localhost", "127.0.0.1"]
    }
  }
}

• Ensure security setting is not set to deny:

{
  "security": "allowlist"
}

• Restart the OpenClaw service after applying the changes.

Verification

Run openclaw exec run "date" again to verify the fix. If successful, the command should execute without returning an allowlist miss error.

Extra Tips

• Double-check the execApprovals.json file for any typos or incorrect formatting.
• If issues persist, try setting security to full temporarily to isolate the problem.
• Refer to the OpenClaw documentation for the most up-to-date configuration options and security best practices.
