OpenClaw

OpenClaw speaks Chat Completions. Private AI Proxy configures it automatically.

With Private AI Proxy

Install Private AI Proxy, sign in, and turn on Protected.
On the Agents screen, connect OpenClaw.
Restart OpenClaw; it reads the native-host provider and local token on start.

The app writes a native-host provider into OpenClaw’s gateway configuration with an agent-scoped token for its local API, and restores the file when you disconnect or stop Protected. From the CLI, the same connection is:

pap agents connect openclaw

Without the Proxy

Merge a named provider into the gateway configuration and keep your existing agent, channel, tool, and provider settings. Export the key where the OpenClaw gateway process can read it.

export REDPILL_AI_API_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY"

~/.openclaw/openclaw.json

{
  agents: { defaults: { model: { primary: "redpill/z-ai/glm-5.2" } } },
  models: {
    mode: "merge",
    providers: {
      redpill: {
        baseUrl: "https://api.redpill.ai/v1",
        apiKey: "${REDPILL_AI_API_KEY}",
        api: "openai-completions",
        models: [
          { id: "z-ai/glm-5.2", name: "GLM 5.2", reasoning: true, input: ["text"],
            contextWindow: 1048576, maxTokens: 131072 },
        ],
      },
    },
  },
}

This changes the main model loop only; image, speech, embedding, search, and browser providers stay separate. This path does not verify ACI locally. For confidential-only routing, use an is_tee: true model with https://tee.redpill.ai/v1. See Verified ACI clients.

Check the connection

Run openclaw config validate and openclaw models list, confirm the RedPill model is listed, then run one harmless tool task.

Troubleshooting

Symptom	Check
OpenClaw ignores the Proxy	Confirm Connected in the app and that Protected is on, then restart OpenClaw.
Configuration is rejected	Run `openclaw config validate` and preserve JSON5 syntax.
Key is unavailable	Export `REDPILL_AI_API_KEY` for the gateway process, not only an interactive shell.
