When multiple agent stores exist (e.g. \gents/main\ and \gents/coder), \openclaw doctor\ reports auth status without identifying which agent's store the result comes from. This makes it impossible to diagnose per-agent auth drift without inspecting files manually.

Root Cause

When multiple agent stores exist (e.g. \gents/main\ and \gents/coder), \openclaw doctor\ reports auth status without identifying which agent's store the result comes from. This makes it impossible to diagnose per-agent auth drift without inspecting files manually.

Summary

When multiple agent stores exist (e.g. \gents/main\ and \gents/coder), \openclaw doctor\ reports auth status without identifying which agent's store the result comes from. This makes it impossible to diagnose per-agent auth drift without inspecting files manually.

Version

OpenClaw 2026.4.23 (a979721)

Context

OpenClaw stores per-agent auth tokens in separate files:

  • \gents/<id>/agent/auth-profiles.json\

When agent stores diverge (e.g. \gents/coder\ has a valid token, \gents/main\ has an expired one), doctor reports the stale state without identifying which agent is the source. This sent debugging in the wrong direction for an extended time.

Expected Behavior

Doctor output should include the agent id being checked, e.g.: \
Model auth (agent: main)

Or at minimum, call out when auth state differs between agent stores.

Actual Behavior

Doctor reports a single generic auth status line with no indication of which agent's store was checked.

Impact

Medium — makes debugging per-agent auth drift significantly harder, especially for users with multiple agents (main, coder, operator, etc.)

extent analysis

TL;DR

Modify the openclaw doctor command to include the agent ID in its output to identify which agent's store the auth status result comes from.

Guidance

  • Review the openclaw doctor command's implementation to determine how it currently handles multiple agent stores and auth token reporting.
  • Consider adding an optional flag to the openclaw doctor command to specify which agent's store to check, allowing for targeted debugging.
  • Update the openclaw doctor output format to include the agent ID, as shown in the expected behavior example, to provide clear identification of which agent's auth status is being reported.
  • Investigate if there are any existing configuration options or environment variables that could be used to customize the openclaw doctor output to include the agent ID.

Example

No code snippet is provided as the issue does not contain sufficient information about the implementation details of the openclaw doctor command.

Notes

The solution may require modifications to the OpenClaw codebase, specifically the openclaw doctor command. The exact implementation details are not provided in the issue, so the guidance is focused on the desired outcome rather than specific code changes.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround by modifying the openclaw doctor command to include the agent ID in its output, as this will provide the necessary information for debugging per-agent auth drift without requiring a full version upgrade.
