Plugin SDK reference
Plugin SDK tool policy and sandbox helpers
The synchronous policy and sandbox parsing primitives that
openclaw/plugin-sdk/agent-harness-runtime exposes to plugins. Part of the
Plugin entry points reference.
Tool policy vocabulary
openclaw/plugin-sdk/agent-harness-runtime exposes core's synchronous policy
primitives through toolPolicy:
toolPolicy.expandToolGroups(list?)normalizes tool aliases, drops blank entries, expands core groups, and returns unique tool ids in first-seen order. Members of each expanded group follow that group's catalog order.toolPolicy.createToolPolicyMatcher(policy?, writeAllowsApplyPatch = true)returns a matcher for tool names. Deny entries win, an empty allow list is unrestricted, and*patterns and aliases use core normalization. Set the second argument tofalseto disable the runtime compatibility where allowingwritealso allowsapply_patch.
For conformance coverage, negate a matcher built with { deny: entries };
this keeps an empty coverage list false and avoids allow-side compatibility.
Prepare matchers for one synchronous operation; do not retain an authorization
decision across awaited work.
Sandbox bind parsing
openclaw/plugin-sdk/agent-harness-runtime exports
splitSandboxBindSpec(spec, options?). It returns raw { host, container, options }
segments, or null when no host/container separator exists. Windows host drive
prefixes are always preserved. Pass { allowWindowsContainerPath: true } to
preserve drive prefixes in container paths too, as Policy does for its existing
Windows bind grammar. The default keeps POSIX container parsing unchanged.
This helper splits text; it does not validate or authorize a mount.
