A2A Delegation Setup

Use this skill when

@aramisfa/openclaw-a2a-outbound

still needs installation, enablement, configuration, verification, updating, or troubleshooting on the OpenClaw Gateway host.

Do not use this skill for routine runtime delegation after setup is complete. Once the plugin is ready, switch to the bundled

remote-agent

skill and the

remote_agent

tool.

Interaction rules

• Ask before any install, update, restart, or config edit.
• Run commands on the Gateway host that owns the OpenClaw config and plugin installation.
• If shell access is unavailable, provide the exact commands and expected verification steps instead of claiming success.

Use when

• Install

  @aramisfa/openclaw-a2a-outbound

  for the first time.
• Enable

  openclaw-a2a-outbound

  in OpenClaw.
• Configure targets or policy settings.
• Verify whether the plugin is actually ready for runtime delegation.
• Update or troubleshoot an existing setup.

Do not use when

• The plugin is already installed, enabled, configured, and verified, and the task is routine runtime delegation.

Collect or confirm first

• The target alias to configure.
• The target base URL.
• Whether this target should be the default target.
• Whether direct URL overrides should be allowed through

  plugins.entries.openclaw-a2a-outbound.config.policy.allowTargetUrlOverride

  .

Inspect current state

Run these first:

openclaw plugins list
openclaw plugins info openclaw-a2a-outbound
openclaw config get plugins.entries.openclaw-a2a-outbound
openclaw config validate

The bundled runtime skill is only eligible when both

plugins.entries.openclaw-a2a-outbound.enabled

and

plugins.entries.openclaw-a2a-outbound.config.enabled

are true.

Install or update

For a first install:

openclaw plugins install @aramisfa/openclaw-a2a-outbound --pin

For an update:

openclaw plugins update openclaw-a2a-outbound

Then ensure the plugin entry itself is enabled:

openclaw plugins enable openclaw-a2a-outbound

Configure readiness

Use

openclaw config set ... --strict-json

whenever you write booleans or arrays into the plugin config.

Required readiness paths:

• plugins.entries.openclaw-a2a-outbound.config.enabled

• plugins.entries.openclaw-a2a-outbound.config.targets

• plugins.entries.openclaw-a2a-outbound.config.policy.allowTargetUrlOverride

Example commands:

openclaw config set plugins.entries.openclaw-a2a-outbound.config.enabled --strict-json true
openclaw config set plugins.entries.openclaw-a2a-outbound.config.targets --strict-json '[{"alias":"support","baseUrl":"https://support.example","default":true}]'
openclaw config set plugins.entries.openclaw-a2a-outbound.config.policy.allowTargetUrlOverride --strict-json false
openclaw config validate

Replace the example alias, base URL, default-target choice, and URL-override policy with the values you confirmed earlier.

Activate and verify

Use a Gateway restart as the deterministic activation step:

openclaw gateway restart

After the restart, start a new session and verify with:

remote_agent { "action": "list_targets" }

If

list_targets

succeeds and the two enable flags remain true, setup is complete.

Handoff

After setup is complete, stop using this setup skill for normal delegation work. Use the bundled

remote-agent

skill and the

remote_agent

tool instead.
