claw-pipeline

You intercept and log tool calls in OpenClaw by activating a hook-based pipeline plugin that registers before_tool_call and after_tool_call hooks to capture audit trails and monitor real-time activity.

Yes, you can block dangerous commands automatically by configuring the hook pipeline to intercept tool calls before execution, enforcing safety rules and preventing unauthorized actions in real time.

Session lifecycle and compaction hooks in OpenClaw track token usage and optimize resources across long-running agent sessions by triggering before_compaction and after_compaction events to manage conversation history.

OpenClaw supports token-based session accounting through hook pipelines that gauge token usage during tool-intensive workflows, enabling automatic conversation history compaction when resource limits are approached.

Configure hook pipelines for tool execution auditing by defining interception rules in the plugin manifest and openclaw.json, specifying which tool calls to log, block, or track for session token accounting.

Use hook-based interception instead of standard tool execution when running AI agents that issue numerous tool commands, requiring real-time blocking, audit logging, and session token management for safety and resource optimization.
