Auth is per-agent: each agent reads from its own `agentDir` auth store at

`~/.openclaw/agents/<agentId>/agent/auth-profiles.json`.
|

Credentials are **not** shared between agents. Never reuse `agentDir` across agents.

`sessions_history` in this profile still returns a bounded, sanitized recall view rather than a raw transcript dump. Assistant recall strips thinking tags, `<relevant-memories>` scaffolding, plain-text tool-call XML payloads (including `<tool_call>...</tool_call>`, `<function_call>...</function_call>`, `<tool_calls>...</tool_calls>`, `<function_calls>...</function_calls>`, and truncated tool-call blocks), downgraded tool-call scaffolding, leaked ASCII/full-width model control tokens, and malformed MiniMax tool-call XML before redaction/truncation.

## Common pitfall: "non-main"
|
||||
|
||||
`agents.defaults.sandbox.mode: "non-main"` is based on `session.mainKey` (default `"main"`),
|
||||
not the agent id. Group/channel sessions always get their own keys, so they
|
||||
are treated as non-main and will be sandboxed. If you want an agent to never
|
||||
sandbox, set `agents.list[].sandbox.mode: "off"`.

After configuring multi-agent sandbox and tools:

1. **Check agent resolution:**
|

|

```exec
|

openclaw agents list --bindings
|

```
|

2. **Verify sandbox containers:**

```exec

docker ps --filter "name=openclaw-sbx-"
|

```
|

|

3. **Test tool restrictions:**
|
||||
- Send a message requiring restricted tools
|

- Verify the agent cannot use denied tools
|

## Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
### Agent not sandboxed despite `mode: "all"`
|
||||
|
||||
- Check if there's a global `agents.defaults.sandbox.mode` that overrides it
|
||||
- Agent-specific config takes precedence, so set `agents.list[].sandbox.mode: "all"`
|
||||
|
||||
### Tools still available despite deny list
|
||||
|
||||
- Check tool filtering order: global → agent → sandbox → subagent
|
||||
- Each level can only further restrict, not grant back
|
||||
- Verify with logs: `[tools] filtering tools for agent:${agentId}`
|
||||
|
||||
### Container not isolated per agent
|
||||
|
||||
- Set `scope: "agent"` in agent-specific sandbox config
|
||||
- Default is `"session"` which creates one container per session
