openclaw devices

Manage device pairing requests and device-scoped tokens.

Commands

openclaw devices list

List pending pairing requests and paired devices.

openclaw devices list
openclaw devices list --json

openclaw devices remove <deviceId>

Remove one paired device entry.

openclaw devices remove <deviceId>
openclaw devices remove <deviceId> --json

openclaw devices clear --yes [--pending]

Clear paired devices in bulk.

openclaw devices clear --yes
openclaw devices clear --yes --pending
openclaw devices clear --yes --pending --json

openclaw devices approve [requestId] [--latest]

Approve a pending device pairing request. If requestId is omitted, OpenClaw automatically approves the most recent pending request.

openclaw devices approve
openclaw devices approve <requestId>
openclaw devices approve --latest

openclaw devices reject <requestId>

Reject a pending device pairing request.

openclaw devices reject <requestId>

openclaw devices rotate --device <id> --role <role> [--scope <scope...>]

Rotate a device token for a specific role (optionally updating scopes).

openclaw devices rotate --device <deviceId> --role operator --scope operator.read --scope operator.write

openclaw devices revoke --device <id> --role <role>

Revoke a device token for a specific role.

openclaw devices revoke --device <deviceId> --role node

Common options

• --url <url>: Gateway WebSocket URL (defaults to gateway.remote.url when configured).
• --token <token>: Gateway token (if required).
• --password <password>: Gateway password (password auth).
• --timeout <ms>: RPC timeout.
• --json: JSON output (recommended for scripting).

Note: when you set --url, the CLI does not fall back to config or environment credentials. Pass --token or --password explicitly. Missing explicit credentials is an error.

Notes

• Token rotation returns a new token (sensitive). Treat it like a secret.
• These commands require operator.pairing (or operator.admin) scope.
• devices clear is intentionally gated by --yes.
• If pairing scope is unavailable on local loopback (and no explicit --url is passed), list/approve can use a local pairing fallback.
