summary: "Rich output protocol for structured media, embeds, audio hints, and replies"

title: "Rich output protocol"
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
Assistant output carries delivery/render directives through a few dedicated channels:
|
|
|
|
- Structured `mediaUrl` / `mediaUrls` fields for attachment delivery.
|
|
- `[[audio_as_voice]]` for audio presentation hints.
|
|
- `[[reply_to_current]]` / `[[reply_to:<id>]]` for reply metadata.
|
|
- `[embed ...]` for Control UI rich rendering.
|
|
|
|
Structured media fields and `[[...]]` tags are delivery metadata. `[embed ...]` is the separate web-only rich-render path; it is not a media alias.
|
|
|
|
## Media attachments
|
|
|
|
Remote attachments must be public `https:` URLs. `http:`, loopback, link-local, private, and internal hostnames are rejected as attachment directives; server-side media fetchers apply their own network guards on top.
|
|
|
|
Local attachments accept absolute paths, workspace-relative paths, or home-relative `~/` paths. They still pass the agent file-read policy and media type checks before delivery.
|
|
|
|
<Warning>
|
|
Do not emit text commands for attachments from tools, plugins, streaming blocks, browser output, or message actions. Use structured media fields instead:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{ "message": "Here is your image.", "mediaUrl": "/workspace/image.png" }
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Legacy final-reply text may still be normalized for compatibility, but this is not a general plugin/tool protocol.
|
|
</Warning>
|
|
|
|
Plain Markdown image syntax (``) stays text by default. Channels that want Markdown images treated as media replies opt in at their outbound adapter; Telegram does this so `` becomes a media attachment.
|
|
|
|
When block streaming is enabled, media must ride on structured payload fields. If the same media URL appears in a streamed block and again in the final assistant payload, OpenClaw delivers it once and strips the duplicate from the final payload.
|
|
|
|
## `[embed ...]`
|
|
|
|
`[embed ...]` is the only agent-facing rich-render syntax for the Control UI. Self-closing example:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
[embed ref="cv_123" title="Status" /]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Rules:
|
|
|
|
- `[view ...]` is no longer valid for new output.
|
|
- Embed shortcodes render only in the assistant message surface.
|
|
- Only URL-backed embeds render; use `ref="..."` or `url="..."`.
|
|
- Block-form inline HTML embed shortcodes do not render.
|
|
- The web UI strips the shortcode from visible text and renders the embed inline.
|
|
|
|
## Stored rendering shape
|
|
|
|
The normalized/stored assistant content block is a structured `canvas` item:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"type": "canvas",
|
|
"preview": {
|
|
"kind": "canvas",
|
|
"surface": "assistant_message",
|
|
"render": "url",
|
|
"viewId": "cv_123",
|
|
"url": "/__openclaw__/canvas/documents/cv_123/index.html",
|
|
"title": "Status",
|
|
"preferredHeight": 320
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`present_view` is not recognized; stored/rendered rich blocks always use this `canvas` shape.
