openclaw - 💡(How to fix) Fix [Feature] DEFAULT_MAX_ATTACHMENTS = 1 prevents multi-image analysis (Anthropic accepts up to 20) [1 comments, 2 participants]

TL;DR

Raise the DEFAULT_MAX_ATTACHMENTS value in dist/pi-embedded-*.js or expose it via openclaw.json to increase the maximum allowed attachments.

Guidance

• Review the proposed solution to raise the default to a realistic value (e.g., 5 or 10) and consider exposing it via openclaw.json for easier configuration.
• Verify that the Anthropic Messages API version (Claude 3.5+ or 4.x) supports the desired number of image content blocks per request.
• Test the workaround by updating the openclaw.json file with the proposed configuration and check if it resolves the issue without breaking on npm install -g openclaw upgrades.
• Consider the trade-offs between raising the default value and exposing it via configuration, taking into account the specific use cases and requirements.

Example

{
  "messages": {
    "image": {
      "maxAttachments": 10
    }
  }
}

This example shows how to expose the maxAttachments value via openclaw.json.

Notes

The solution may not be applicable if the Anthropic Messages API version does not support the desired number of image content blocks per request. Additionally, the openclaw.json configuration may not be supported in all versions of OpenClaw.

Recommendation

Apply the workaround by exposing the maxAttachments value via openclaw.json, as it provides a more flexible and configurable solution. This approach allows for easier updates and adjustments to the maximum allowed attachments without requiring modifications to the bundled JS code.
