Prerequisites

To get the most out of this guide, you’ll need to:

​
1. Create an agent invite

If you haven’t logged in yet, you’ll be guided through setup automatically. 
agent-vault agent invite openclaw
This generates a one-time onboarding prompt and copies it to your clipboard.

​
2. Paste the prompt into OpenClaw

Open OpenClaw’s chat and paste the invite prompt. OpenClaw redeems the invite automatically and receives an agent token.

​
3. Start using it

Ask OpenClaw to do something that requires an external API:
“Fetch my recent Stripe charges”
Here’s what happens — with zero pre-configuration:
  1. OpenClaw routes a request to api.stripe.com through Agent Vault
  2. Agent Vault returns a 403 — Stripe isn’t configured yet
  3. OpenClaw reads the proposal_hint and creates a proposal proposing Stripe access
  4. OpenClaw presents you with an approval link
  5. You click the link, paste your Stripe key, and click Allow
  6. OpenClaw retries — Agent Vault reconstructs the request with your Stripe credentials and the request succeeds
You didn’t pre-configure anything. The agent discovered what it needed, asked for approval, and handled the rest.
