- **Tooling**: current tool list + short descriptions.
- **Safety**: short guardrail reminder to avoid power-seeking behavior or bypassing oversight.
- **Skills** (when available): tells the model how to load skill instructions on demand.
- **OpenClaw Self-Update**: how to run `config.apply` and `update.run`.
- **OpenClaw Self-Update**: how to inspect config safely with
`config.schema.lookup`, patch config with `config.patch`, replace the full
config with `config.apply`, and run `update.run` only on explicit user
request.
- **Workspace**: working directory (`agents.defaults.workspace`).
- **Documentation**: local path to OpenClaw docs (repo or npm package) and when to read them.

Yes. `config.apply` validates + writes the full config and restarts the Gateway as part of the operation.
Yes.

- edit `agents.defaults.model` in `~/.openclaw/openclaw.json`
Avoid `config.apply` with a partial object unless you intend to replace the whole config.
For RPC edits, inspect with `config.schema.lookup` first and prefer `config.patch`
for partial updates.
If you did overwrite config, restore from backup or re-run `openclaw doctor` to repair.

override. Like `/status`, it can backfill sparse token/cache counters and the

`gateway` is the owner-only runtime tool for gateway operations:
- `config.schema.lookup` for one path-scoped config subtree before edits
- `config.get` for the current config snapshot + hash
- `config.patch` for partial config updates with restart
- `config.apply` only for full-config replacement
- `update.run` for explicit self-update + restart
For partial changes, prefer `config.schema.lookup` then `config.patch`. Use
`config.apply` only when you intentionally replace the entire config.
