Api Model list updater

Query available models from your configured providers and add them to OpenClaw config

Model Catalog Updater

Fetch available models from your configured API providers and add them to your OpenClaw config.

How It Works

When invoked, this skill:

1. Reads your config → Loads providers from openclaw.json
2. Presents choices → Shows numbered list of your configured providers
3. User selects provider → Queries /v1/models from that provider
4. Shows available models → Lists models with IDs
5. User picks models → Select which to add (comma-separated or 'all')
6. Creates backup → Saves openclawworking.json before any edits
7. Updates config → Adds models to both:
   • models.providers.{provider}.models[] — model definitions
   • agents.defaults.models.{provider/model-id} — alias entries

Usage

Slash command:

• /model-catalog-updater provider:<dropdown>

Natural language:

• "show me available models"
• "add models from openrouter"
• "what models are on lmstudio"

Configuration

Setting	Value
Config path	C:\Users\zebuM\.openclaw\openclaw.json
Backup file	openclawworking.json (same directory)
Default context window	128000
Default max tokens	8192

Reasoning Detection

Models are auto-detected as reasoning models if their ID contains:

• deepseek-r1
• qwq
• o1
• o3
• reasoning
• think

Model Entry Format

Added to models.providers.{provider}.models:

json

  "id": "model-id",
  "name": "Display Name",
  "reasoning": false,
  "input": ["text"],
  "cost": { "input": 0, "output": 0, "cacheRead": 0, "cacheWrite": 0 },
  "contextWindow": 128000,
  "maxTokens": 8192
}

Alias Entry Format

Added to agents.defaults.models:

"provider/model-id": {}

(Empty object — user can add "alias": "short-name" manually if desired)

✅ Backup created: openclawworking.json
✅ Added to models.providers.xai.models:
   - grok-4
   - grok-4-vision
✅ Added to agents.defaults.models:
   - xai/grok-4

Notes

• Some providers don't expose /v1/models (e.g., Cloudflare AI Gateway)
• Vision models get "input": ["text", "image"] automatically if ID contains "vision" or "multimodal"
• Restart OpenClaw after adding models to apply changes
