openclaw - 💡(How to fix) Fix Feature: per-agent status card field suppression (hide usage/billing from specific agents)

Problem

The /status command (session_status tool) exposes provider usage percentages (e.g. "Premium 7% left") to all agents equally. In multi-agent setups where different agents serve different users, this creates an information leak — a secondary agent's user can see the account owner's subscription usage, which may cause unintended concern about costs.

Proposed Solution

Add a per-agent configuration option to suppress specific status card sections:

{
  "agents": {
    "list": [
      {
        "id": "my_agent",
        "status": {
          "hideUsage": true
        }
      }
    ]
  }
}

When hideUsage: true is set for an agent, the 📊 Usage: line should be omitted from that agent's status card output entirely.

Possible Extensions

• hideSections: ["usage", "cache", "context"] for more granular control
• status.visible: ["model", "session", "queue"] allowlist approach

Use Case

Agent A serves User A (account owner). Agent B serves User B (partner/friend). User B should not see subscription usage percentages because it creates unnecessary anxiety about "using too much" — even when usage is perfectly fine. The behavioral workaround (instructing Agent B to never discuss costs) is fragile; a structural solution is better.

Current Workaround

Add prompt-level rules to the agent's AGENTS.md forbidding cost/usage discussion. Works ~95% of the time but breaks if the user directly invokes /status.
