Set the agent model and configure failover
configuration & security
// what it does
openclaw models set <provider>/<model> sets the primary (agents.defaults.model.primary); openclaw models fallbacks add appends to the chain tried when the primary fails. Selection order is primary, then auth-profile rotation within a provider, then the next fallback. openclaw models status shows the active model and auth expiry.
// shell
$ openclaw models set anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-6$ openclaw models fallbacks add anthropic/claude-haiku-4-5$ openclaw models status// gotcha
Fallbacks only rescue you if their providers are authed — a fallback to a provider you never logged into just fails next in line. Confirm with openclaw models status before relying on the chain.
