openclaw - 💡(How to fix) Fix Multi-tool responses dispatched as separate messages instead of coalesced [1 participants]

TL;DR

Implement a message coalescing mechanism to combine sequential tool call results into a single response.

Guidance

• Identify the code responsible for sending messages to the Discord channel and modify it to buffer or cache intermediate results.
• Introduce a delay or a queue to accumulate tool call results before sending a single, combined response.
• Consider implementing a timeout to ensure that the combined response is sent even if no further tool calls are made within a certain time frame.
• Review the OpenClaw 2026.4.2 documentation to see if there are any built-in features or configuration options for message coalescing.

Example

# Pseudo-code example of message coalescing
message_buffer = []
def send_message(message):
    message_buffer.append(message)
    # Send combined message after a short delay or when buffer is full
    if len(message_buffer) >= 5 or time_since_last_message() > 500ms:
        combined_message = '\n'.join(message_buffer)
        send_to_discord(combined_message)
        message_buffer.clear()

Notes

The exact implementation of message coalescing will depend on the specifics of the OpenClaw 2026.4.2 API and the Discord channel integration. This solution may require additional error handling and edge case consideration.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Implement a custom message coalescing mechanism, as described above, to reduce the noise in the Discord channel and improve the coherence of the agent's responses.
