Discord Context

Problem

OpenClaw is session-based: agents only see messages from conversations where they have an active session. Discord threads that the agent wasn't mentioned in or hasn't interacted with are invisible — there's no built-in tool to read arbitrary channel/thread history.

Additionally, OpenClaw redacts the Discord bot token from openclaw config get and environment variables (by design), so agents cannot make direct Discord API calls using the configured token.

Solution

Store the Discord bot token in a separate file accessible to the agent, then use curl to call the Discord API directly.

Setup (one-time, run as the user)

# Store your bot token in a file outside the workspace (won't be git-committed)
echo 'YOUR_DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN' > ~/.openclaw/.discord-bot-token
chmod 600 ~/.openclaw/.discord-bot-token
