openclaw - 💡(How to fix) Fix [Bug]: **[v2026.3.31 node-host approved but no commands reported, exec host=node always errors "requires a node that supports system.run" [1 comments, 2 participants]

Try to use agent tool exec: error as above

TL;DR

The issue may be resolved by ensuring the node-host is properly configured to support system.run after re-pairing.

Guidance

• Verify that the node-host is correctly set up as a companion app or node host, as the error message suggests this is a requirement for system.run to work.
• Check the OpenClaw documentation for any specific configuration requirements for node-hosts on macOS darwin arm64, as the issue may be related to the operating system or architecture.
• Ensure that the approval process on the gateway is correctly granting the necessary permissions for the node-host to report commands, including system.run.
• Consider re-checking the pairing and approval process to ensure it is completed correctly, as the issue may be related to a misconfiguration during this step.

Example

No specific code snippet can be provided without more information on the OpenClaw configuration and setup.

Notes

The issue may be specific to the OpenClaw version (v2026.3.31) or the operating system and architecture used (macOS darwin arm64 and Linux x86_64 on CentOS 7), and further investigation into these factors may be necessary to resolve the issue.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: The issue may be resolved by re-checking the configuration and setup of the node-host and gateway, and ensuring that the pairing and approval process is completed correctly. This is because the error message suggests a configuration or setup issue rather than a problem with the OpenClaw version itself.
