Summary

openclaw channels list displays only Auth providers and does not list configured chat channel accounts (e.g., Telegram, Discord), even though the channels are properly configured and operational.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Configure Telegram accounts in channels.telegram.accounts
  2. Run openclaw channels list
  3. Observe output only shows auth providers, no chat channel accounts

Expected behavior

openclaw channels list should display configured chat channel accounts in addition to auth providers.

Actual behavior

Only auth providers are shown. Chat channel accounts are missing from the list, despite being present in the config and functioning at runtime.

Environment

  • OpenClaw 2026.4.26
  • Gateway running locally on loopback

Verification

  • Channels ARE operational (user is conversing with agent over Telegram)
  • openclaw status shows agents running
  • Config file confirms channels.telegram.accounts entries

extent analysis

TL;DR

The issue may be resolved by verifying the configuration of chat channel accounts and ensuring they are properly registered with the OpenClaw system.

Guidance

  • Review the channels.telegram.accounts configuration to ensure it is correctly formatted and contains the necessary information for each chat channel account.
  • Check the OpenClaw documentation to see if there are any specific requirements or restrictions for configuring chat channel accounts.
  • Verify that the chat channel accounts are properly registered with the OpenClaw system by checking the output of openclaw status and looking for any error messages related to channel configuration.
  • Consider running openclaw with increased logging or debugging enabled to see if it provides any additional information about why the chat channel accounts are not being listed.

Notes

The issue may be specific to the version of OpenClaw being used (2026.4.26), and it's possible that there is a bug or limitation in this version that is causing the problem.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Verify and re-check the configuration of chat channel accounts, as the issue may be due to a misconfiguration rather than a bug in OpenClaw.
