01
Resume durable sessions
Journaled turns let an agent continue after a crash, restart, or deliberate pause with its context and tool history intact.
// Agent control plane
Steer the loop. Don't restart it.
Long-running work needs operational controls. PasClaw makes sessions resumable, steerable, delegatable, and observable without discarding progress.

02
Steer in flight
Push additional direction into a running loop without terminating the current tool call or rebuilding the session from scratch.
03
Delegate focused work
Spawn child agents with their own prompts and tool allowlists so research or repetitive work does not crowd the parent context.
04
Observe every lifecycle
Hooks around turns, tool calls, and errors provide extension points for approvals, policy, logging, metrics, and custom behavior.

Technical details
Implementation notes drawn from the PasClaw repository documentation.
Inspectable state
The gateway exposes operator views for MCP servers, schedules, skills, memory, sandboxed files, redacted configuration, logs, and aggregate statistics.
- Live logs are streamed with server-sent events.
- Statistics are cached for five seconds to keep inspection inexpensive.
- Configuration responses mask secrets before leaving the process.
Trace the full turn
OpenTelemetry OTLP/HTTP spans connect inbound requests to agent turns, provider chat, and tool execution.
- Span attributes follow the OpenClaw-compatible naming described in the docs.
- Langfuse, Jaeger, Honeycomb, and Datadog can consume the emitted traces.
- The TUI /stats overlay exposes token and tool activity locally.
