openclaw - 💡(How to fix) Fix Feature request: provider exclusion list for model picker [1 participants]

TL;DR

Implementing a provider exclusion list in the OpenClaw config to hide unused providers from the model picker is the most likely fix.

Guidance

• To address the issue, consider adding an "excludedProviders" field to the OpenClaw config, as proposed in the issue, to filter out unwanted providers from the model picker.
• Verify that the proposed config change does not introduce any compatibility issues with existing functionality or other config settings.
• Evaluate the feasibility of implementing the proposed solution, potentially requiring modifications to the OpenClaw source code or waiting for an official update.
• Assess the trade-offs of alternative solutions, such as requiring authentication for unused providers, and determine the best approach for the user experience.

Example

{
  "agents": {
    "defaults": {
      "model": {
        "excludedProviders": ["openai", "openai-codex"]
      }
    }
  }
}

This example illustrates the proposed config change to exclude specific providers from the model picker.

Notes

The implementation of the proposed solution may depend on the ability to modify the OpenClaw source code or wait for an official update. The effectiveness of the solution also relies on the correct configuration of the "excludedProviders" field.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Implement the proposed "excludedProviders" config change, as it provides a cleaner user experience by hiding unused providers from the model picker.
