Where is the OpenClaw configuration file located?

The default configuration file is located at ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json, but this can be overridden using the OPENCLAW_CONFIG_PATH environment variable.

Does changing the configuration require a gateway restart?

Most changes to agents, models, tools, and sessions are hot-applied automatically. Only core gateway settings like port, bind address, or TLS changes require a restart.

Can I use this skill to validate my OpenClaw setup?

Yes, the skill can trigger the 'openclaw doctor' command to perform a full validation of your configuration schema and connectivity.

How does this skill handle sensitive API keys?

The skill utilizes SecretRefs to reference sensitive data from environment variables, files, or command outputs, ensuring that credentials are never stored in plaintext within the config.

OpenClaw is a self-hosted AI gateway that allows users to manage models, agents, and tools in a centralized, secure environment for AI-driven applications.
