Run a one-off agent query from the CLI
agents & sessions
// what it does
openclaw agent runs the assistant once from the terminal — --message is the prompt, --thinking sets reasoning depth (for example high), and --deliver sends the reply back out to a channel instead of only printing it. --to targets a contact; --agent picks which agent answers.
// shell
$ openclaw agent --message "summarize today's incidents" --thinking high$ openclaw agent --agent ops --message "status" --deliver --to +15555550123// gotcha
Without --deliver the reply only prints locally; with it, the response is actually sent to --to — double-check the target before delivering to a real contact.
