Fix / Workaround

Main agent's webchat session has gateway (config.get, config.patch, restart all work).

Code Example

tools: { profile: "coding", alsoAllow: ["gateway"] }

---

agents.list[finance].tools: { alsoAllow: ["gateway"] }

OpenClaw v2026.5.27, Windows 11, gateway.mode=local

Setup: Two agents in agents.list:

  • main (webchat, deepseek-v4-pro): gateway tool works ✓
  • finance (xai/grok-4.3): gateway tool NOT available ✗

Config:

tools: { profile: "coding", alsoAllow: ["gateway"] }

Also tried explicit per-agent:

agents.list[finance].tools: { alsoAllow: ["gateway"] }

Result: finance agent lists 23 tools. "gateway" is not among them.

Main agent's webchat session has gateway (config.get, config.patch, restart all work).

Question: Is the gateway tool intentionally limited to local Gateway sessions (webchat/Control UI) and not exposed through external-provider agent sessions? Or is there a config knob I'm missing?
