Capability Matrix

This matrix summarizes the current OpenClaw.NET capability lanes. It complements COMPATIBILITY.md, which remains the canonical detailed compatibility guide.

Status Legend

  • Core: available in the default runtime path.
  • Optional: available when the related config, package, provider, or host is enabled.
  • Experimental: usable for evaluation, but not a committed stable surface.
  • JIT-only: requires the jit runtime lane and fails fast in aot.

Runtime And Host Capabilities

Capability Lane Notes
Agent runtime loop Core Tool calls, streaming, cancellation, retries, sessions, memory, and hooks.
Gateway HTTP host Core Local/self-hosted host for chat, admin, health, diagnostics, OpenAI-compatible APIs, MCP, and websockets.
Background session execution Core Sessions with active Goals auto-continue through the MessagePipeline after all Channel disconnects; bounded batches, native/MAF parity, startup recovery.
CLI setup and launch Core Source checkout, managed local config, diagnostics, model/profile tools, plugin/skill commands.
NativeAOT publish Core Runtime and gateway are designed for the strict AOT lane.
Desktop Companion Optional Included in desktop bundles and solution builds; release managers should still run manual smoke checks.
TUI Optional Terminal UI surface for operator workflows.
OpenAI-compatible endpoints Core Hosted by the gateway.
MCP endpoint Core Hosted by the gateway.
Workspace MCP hot reload Optional Persist and hot-reload Plugins:Mcp server config via /admin/workspace/mcp without gateway restart. Separate from MCP Apps.
Workspace admin APIs Optional Workspace file browse, tree, upload, download, and MCP config management via /admin/workspace/*.
Admin channel config endpoints Optional Per-channel overrides persisted via ChannelConfigStore across restarts.
Public-bind hardening Core Gateway refuses unsafe public-bind configurations until required settings are hardened.

Tools And Extensions

Capability Lane Notes
First-party and optional tool surfaces (80+) Core / Optional File, shell, memory, session, web, database, email, calendar, browser, MQTT, Canvas/A2UI, FractalMemory, MetaSkill, Goal, Loop, MCP App, Semantic Kernel, and related tools. The active set is configuration-dependent.
Browser tool Optional Implemented in OpenClaw.Protocols.Browser; conservative defaults; local execution depends on runtime capability and sandbox/backend settings.
MQTT tools and event bridge Optional Implemented in OpenClaw.Protocols.Mqtt and composed by the gateway when native MQTT config is enabled.
Home Assistant tools and event bridge Optional Native home-automation surface under native plugin config.
Plugin bridge tools/services Optional Mainstream JS/TS plugin tools and services are supported with explicit diagnostics.
Dynamic plugin channels JIT-only Fails fast outside the JIT lane.
Dynamic plugin commands JIT-only Registered as dynamic chat commands in JIT mode.
Dynamic plugin hooks JIT-only tool:before / tool:after hooks with timeout protections.
Dynamic plugin providers JIT-only Plugin-provided model providers through the dynamic provider seam.
Native dynamic .NET plugins JIT-only Loaded through OpenClaw:Plugins:DynamicNative.
Payment tools Optional Native payment runtime owns live secrets; bridge payment plugins are diagnostic/test-only unless explicitly sandboxed.

Providers, Models, And Workflows

Capability Lane Notes
OpenAI provider Optional Enabled through provider config and secret refs.
Claude provider Optional Enabled through provider config and secret refs.
Gemini provider Optional Enabled through provider config and secret refs.
Azure OpenAI provider Optional Enabled through provider config and secret refs.
Ollama provider Optional Local provider path with model profile diagnostics.
OpenAI-compatible provider Optional Provider-neutral path for compatible endpoints.
Embedded local model sidecar Experimental Supervised local model packages, including multimodal frame-based video handling.
Microsoft Agent Framework adapter Optional Select with Runtime.Orchestrator=maf; native runtime remains the default.
Dynamic turn routing Experimental Stable runtime wiring with conservative thresholds; classifier quality is not claimed to match OpenSquilla-equivalent accuracy.
Durable workflow backend Optional Delegates long-running runs to supported workflow hosts without making normal turns durable.
Fractal Memory MCP integration Optional MCP-first structured memory integration.
Mempalace memory provider Optional Optional temporal knowledge graph memory provider.

Channels And Clients

Capability Lane Notes
Web chat Core Gateway-hosted local UI.
Admin UI Core Gateway-hosted diagnostics and operator surface.
Typed .NET client Optional Integration API and MCP facade client.
Telegram channel Optional Operator DM policy, allowlists, diagnostics, and recent sender support.
SMS channel Optional Twilio-backed channel surface.
WhatsApp channel Optional Worker-backed integration paths.
Teams channel Optional Microsoft Teams setup path.
Slack channel Optional Channel adapter with shared operator model.
Discord channel Optional Includes slash-command ingress parity.
Feishu channel Optional Lark/Feishu IM adapter with hot-reloadable config, message dedup, and media handling.
DingTalk channel Optional DingTalk IM adapter with hot-reloadable config.
WeCom channel Optional WeChat Work IM adapter with hot-reloadable config.
Signal channel Optional Channel adapter with shared operator model.
Email channel Optional Separate operational surface from chat-channel allowlists.
Generic webhooks Optional Authenticated inbound triggers.

Contributor Rule

When a capability adds provider SDK weight, dynamic loading, vendor-specific defaults, or protocol-specific behavior, prefer an optional project or extension boundary over adding it to OpenClaw.Core or the default agent path.
