openclaw_sessions_create

Initiate a new agent session, with support for assigning a human-readable title and selecting a specific agent ID, for management in the Control panel.

Instructions

Create a new agent session. Wraps sessions.create. The default agent id is typically 'main'. Pass an optional title to set the human-readable label shown in the Control panel.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
titleNoHuman-readable title shown in the Control panel.
agentIdNoAgent id (e.g. 'main'). Defaults to the gateway's default agent if omitted.
instanceNoOptional OpenClaw instance to route this call to (e.g. 'default', 'work'). Falls back to the active default instance, or the OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_URL/TOKEN env vars when set. List configured instances with openclaw_setup_list.
Behavior2/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

No annotations provided; description only says 'Wraps sessions.create' with no detail on side effects, idempotency, or auth requirements. Inadequate for a potentially mutating action.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Two concise sentences, no irrelevant details. Front-loaded with action verb.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Describes creation but omits return value (no output schema). No mention of errors, prerequisites, or behavioral nuances for a moderate-complexity tool.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema covers all 3 parameters (100% coverage). Description adds defaults for agentId and clarifies title's role, but does not significantly extend schema info.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

Clearly states 'Create a new agent session' – specific verb and resource. Distinguishes from sibling session tools like openclaw_sessions_list, openclaw_sessions_delete.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Implies usage for creating sessions but lacks explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance. No exclusion of alternatives; reliance on tool name and sibling list.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
