openclaw-model-advisor

openclaw-model-advisor is a skill for Claude Code from TheophilusChinomona/claude-openclaw-plugin. It costs 114 tokens per session (3,918 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A review guide for choosing OpenRouter models for OpenClaw agents, based on what each agent needs. OpenClaw agents are automated assistants whose requirements can vary by task complexity, tool use, context size, workload, independence, and data sensitivity.

In plain words
What is it for?
Assessing OpenClaw agents and recommending models by pricing tier. It helps prepare ready-to-paste OpenClaw configuration snippets and compare model pricing, context, tool-calling support, and related capabilities.
Why use it?
It helps avoid choosing a model that is too limited, unnecessarily expensive, or unsuitable for the agent’s workload. It turns an agent’s requirements into model choices and configuration examples.

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

openclaw-model-advisor scanned grade A with 0 findings 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 11d 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.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

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.
