When using the video_generate tool with the Fal provider (MiniMax video-01-live model), the video generation completes successfully on the provider side (HTTP 200), but the result is never delivered back to the session or chat.

Error Message

The video completes on Fal's side (confirmed via Fal dashboard — status 200, ~237s render time) but the result is silently lost. No error is surfaced to the user or agent.

Root Cause

When using the video_generate tool with the Fal provider (MiniMax video-01-live model), the video generation completes successfully on the provider side (HTTP 200), but the result is never delivered back to the session or chat.

Bug Report

Description

When using the video_generate tool with the Fal provider (MiniMax video-01-live model), the video generation completes successfully on the provider side (HTTP 200), but the result is never delivered back to the session or chat.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Trigger video_generate with model: fal/fal-ai/minimax/video-01-live
  2. Tool returns: "Background task started for video generation"
  3. Wait for completion
  4. Calling video_generate(action: "status") returns "No active video generation task is currently running for this session"
  5. No video is delivered to the chat
  6. No output file appears in the media directory

Expected Behavior

The completed video should be delivered to the originating chat/session automatically.

Actual Behavior

The video completes on Fal's side (confirmed via Fal dashboard — status 200, ~237s render time) but the result is silently lost. No error is surfaced to the user or agent.

Evidence

  • Fal request ID: 019d61ac-62e0-7893-bea6-336a1659511f
  • Model: fal-ai/minimax/video-01-live
  • Render time: ~237.88s
  • Fal dashboard shows completed video with 200 status
  • No file in local media directory

Environment

  • OpenClaw on macOS (Apple Silicon)
  • Channel: Telegram
  • Agent model: Claude Opus

Impact

This makes video generation unreliable — users have no way to know if a generation succeeded, failed, or is still processing. The lack of any feedback loop (progress, errors, or completion) compounds the issue.

extent analysis

TL;DR

Investigate the integration between the video_generate tool and the Fal provider to ensure proper handling of the video generation result, potentially involving modifications to the callback or notification mechanism.

Guidance

  • Verify the Fal provider's documentation to confirm the expected behavior for delivering video generation results, specifically checking for any requirements on callback URLs or notification mechanisms.
  • Review the video_generate tool's implementation to ensure it correctly handles the response from the Fal provider, including any potential errors or timeouts that might prevent the result from being delivered.
  • Check the OpenClaw configuration and logs for any indications of issues with the video generation task, such as timeouts, errors, or missing files in the media directory.
  • Consider adding logging or debugging statements to the video_generate tool to track the flow of events and identify where the result is being lost.

Example

No specific code example can be provided without more information on the implementation details of the video_generate tool and its integration with the Fal provider.

Notes

The issue may be related to a misconfiguration or mismatch between the video_generate tool and the Fal provider, or a bug in the implementation of the video generation workflow. Further investigation is needed to determine the root cause.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround by modifying the video_generate tool to poll the Fal provider for the status of the video generation task and retrieve the result manually, rather than relying on a callback or notification mechanism. This approach can provide a temporary solution until the underlying issue is resolved.
