What is moltworker AGENTS.md?

A project guide for agents working on a Cloudflare Worker that runs OpenClaw in a Cloudflare Sandbox container.

Use it when modifying the worker's gateway proxy, admin and device-pairing APIs, Cloudflare Access authentication, or debugging endpoints.

It gives agents the project overview, file structure, naming conventions, and environment-variable details needed to change the code safely.

How cloudflare/moltworker configures Codex and OpenCode

About the project

Moltworker runs OpenClaw, a personal AI assistant, inside a Cloudflare Sandbox managed through Cloudflare Workers. It is intended for people who want to deploy that assistant using Cloudflare's infrastructure and services. The catalogue entries provide instructions and a skill for operating this deployment.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.02483	$0.02483
Opus 5.5	$0.00993	$0.00993

Security

Grade C, and why

moltworker AGENTS.md scanned grade C with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Recursive force deletehighDestructive command

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

- **Never delete R2 data**: The mount directory `/data/moltbot` IS the R2 bucket. Running `rm -rf /data/moltbot/*` will DELETE your backup data. Always check mount status before any destructive operations.

Project Overview

This is a Cloudflare Worker that runs OpenClaw (formerly Moltbot/Clawdbot) in a Cloudflare Sandbox container. It provides:

Proxying to the OpenClaw gateway (web UI + WebSocket)
Admin UI at /_admin/ for device management
API endpoints at /api/* for device pairing
Debug endpoints at /debug/* for troubleshooting

Note: The CLI tool and npm package are now named openclaw. Config files use .openclaw/openclaw.json. Legacy .clawdbot paths are supported for backward compatibility during transition.

Key Patterns

Environment Variables

DEV_MODE - Skips CF Access auth AND bypasses device pairing (maps to OPENCLAW_DEV_MODE for container)
DEBUG_ROUTES - Enables /debug/* routes (disabled by default)
See src/types.ts for full MoltbotEnv interface

CLI Commands

When calling the OpenClaw CLI from the worker, always include --url ws://localhost:18789:

sandbox.startProcess('openclaw devices list --json --url ws://localhost:18789')

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
