In a Feishu single-bot group chat with group-bound agent routing, slash commands such as /new, /status, and /model do not work. More importantly, they do not seem to reach the agent as normal text either. From the assistant side, these messages behave like empty-content events with metadata only. Environment Channel: Feishu Chat type: group chat Mode: single bot Routing: group-bound agent Feishu plugin: @larksuiteoapi/feishu-openclaw-plugin Plugin version: 2026.3.8

PR fix notes

PR #49958: fix: allow commands in groups when no allowFrom is configured

Description (problem / solution / changelog)

Problem

Slash commands (/status, /new, /reset) silently fail in group chats when no allowFrom list is configured. The bot shows no response at all.

Root Cause

In resolveCommandAuthorizedFromAuthorizers (src/channels/command-gating.ts), when useAccessGroups is enabled (the default) and no allowFrom list exists, the authorizers array contains { configured: false, allowed: false }.

The code authorizers.some(e => e.configured && e.allowed) returns false because configured is false — meaning "no allowlist was set up". This incorrectly denies ALL commands in groups without an explicit allowFrom list.

The !useAccessGroups path already handles this correctly:

const anyConfigured = authorizers.some(e => e.configured);
if (!anyConfigured) return true; // No restrictions = allow

Fix

Added the same !anyConfigured guard to the useAccessGroups=true path. Both paths now treat "no restrictions configured" as "allow" consistently.

Summary

In a Feishu single-bot group chat with group-bound agent routing, slash commands such as /new, /status, and /model do not work. More importantly, they do not seem to reach the agent as normal text either. From the assistant side, these messages behave like empty-content events with metadata only. Environment Channel: Feishu Chat type: group chat Mode: single bot Routing: group-bound agent Feishu plugin: @larksuiteoapi/feishu-openclaw-plugin Plugin version: 2026.3.8

Steps to reproduce

  • Use OpenClaw in a Feishu group chat with a single bot and group-bound agent routing.
  • Send normal messages to establish context.
  • Send /new.
  • Ask a follow-up question that checks whether context was reset.
  • Send /status and /model or other slash commands.

Expected behavior

Either:

  • slash commands should work as OpenClaw control commands, or
  • at minimum, they should still be delivered to the agent as normal text

Actual behavior

/new does not reset the session/context /status and /model do not work slash messages do not appear to arrive as normal text from the assistant side, they look like empty-content events / metadata-only messages

Fix Plan

The fix involves updating the Feishu plugin to handle slash commands correctly. Here are the steps:

  • Update the @larksuiteoapi/feishu-openclaw-plugin to the latest version.
  • Modify the plugin configuration to include a custom message handler for slash commands.
  • Implement a custom handler to process slash commands and send them to the agent as normal text.

Example Code

// Import the required modules
const { FeishuPlugin } = require('@larksuiteoapi/feishu-openclaw-plugin');

// Create a new instance of the Feishu plugin
const feishuPlugin = new FeishuPlugin({
  // Plugin configuration
  appId: 'your_app_id',
  appSecret: 'your_app_secret',
});

// Define a custom message handler for slash commands
feishuPlugin.on('message', (message) => {
  if (message.text.startsWith('/')) {
    // Handle slash commands
    const command = message.text.substring(1);
    switch (command) {
      case 'new':
        // Reset the session/context
        break;
      case 'status':
        // Handle the status command
        break;
      case 'model':
        // Handle the model command
        break;
      default:
        // Handle unknown commands
        break;
    }
    // Send the command to the agent as normal text
    feishuPlugin.sendMessage(message.chatId, `/${command}`);
  }
});

Verification

To verify that the fix worked, send a slash command (e.g., /new) in the Feishu group chat and check if the command is executed correctly. Also, check if the command is delivered to the agent as normal text.

Extra Tips

  • Make sure to update the plugin to the latest version to ensure compatibility with the latest Feishu API changes.
  • Test the custom message handler thoroughly to ensure it handles all possible slash commands correctly.
  • Consider adding logging and error handling to the custom message handler to debug any issues that may arise.
