Summary

assistant-generated Mission Control screenshot returned to Telegram This also seems relevant to assistant-driven email attachments/media sends. It would be great to send an image of current changes to my openclaw to my telegram when I am away from my MAC.

Problem to solve

I’m building a workflow where an assistant should:

  1. generate a screenshot PNG at runtime
  2. reply to the current provider-bound session (Telegram in this case)
  3. attach that PNG as an outbound media message

I’ve confirmed the following:

  • OpenClaw has internal outbound media / attachment plumbing (outbound-media, agent-media-payload, outbound-attachment, Telegram media handling)
  • my gateway can already send images to Telegram internally (logs show image resizing for provider limits)
  • assistant sessions are correctly bound to the Telegram delivery context

What I cannot determine is whether there is a supported assistant-facing tool/interface for invoking that outbound media pipeline directly from an assistant run.

Specifically:

  • Is there an existing first-class tool or supported runtime interface that lets an assistant send a generated image/file attachment back to the current chat/session?
  • If yes, what is the correct tool/config/exposure path?
  • If not, is exposing outbound media to assistants an intended extension point?

The main use case is:

  • assistant resolves a page target
  • assistant generates a screenshot/image at runtime
  • assistant sends that image back to the same Telegram chat as an attachment

This likely also affects assistant-driven email/media workflows, not just Telegram screenshots.

Proposed solution

Is there a supported way to do this?

Alternatives considered

None

Impact

Anyone who would want a snapshot of changes made while physically away from terminal and updating via telegram (or others maybe as have not checked , whatsapp etc)

Evidence/examples

openclaw cannot do this at the moment i believe. I am using chatGPT 5.4 as my LLM.

Additional information

If there is already a supported way to do this, I’d be very happy to use that instead of requesting a new feature.

extent analysis

TL;DR

Investigate the outbound-media and agent-media-payload internal plumbing in OpenClaw to determine if there's a supported interface for assistants to send generated images as attachments.

Guidance

  • Review the OpenClaw documentation and codebase for any existing tools or interfaces that allow assistants to invoke the outbound media pipeline directly.
  • Check the logs for any hints on how the image resizing for provider limits is handled, as this might provide insight into the internal media handling mechanisms.
  • Consider reaching out to the OpenClaw community or developers to inquire about the existence of a supported interface for assistants to send media attachments.
  • If no supported interface is found, explore the possibility of exposing the outbound media pipeline to assistants as a potential extension point.

Example

No specific code snippet can be provided without further information on the OpenClaw API and internal implementation.

Notes

The solution may depend on the specific implementation details of OpenClaw and its media handling mechanisms, which are not fully described in the issue.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Investigate alternative methods for sending generated images as attachments, such as using external APIs or services, until a supported interface is found or developed.
