A2a Delegation Setup

• The plugin is already installed, enabled, configured, and verified, and the task is routine runtime delegation.

Collect or confirm first

• The target alias to configure.
• The target base URL.
• Whether this target should be the default target.
• Whether direct URL overrides should be allowed through plugins.entries.openclaw-a2a-outbound.config.policy.allowTargetUrlOverride.

Inspect current state

Run these first:

openclaw plugins list
openclaw plugins info openclaw-a2a-outbound
openclaw config get plugins.entries.openclaw-a2a-outbound
openclaw config validate

The bundled runtime skill is only eligible when both plugins.entries.openclaw-a2a-outbound.enabled and plugins.entries.openclaw-a2a-outbound.config.enabled are true.

Install or update

For a first install:

openclaw plugins install @aramisfa/openclaw-a2a-outbound --pin

For an update:

openclaw plugins update openclaw-a2a-outbound

Then ensure the plugin entry itself is enabled:

openclaw plugins enable openclaw-a2a-outbound

Configure readiness

Use openclaw config set ... --strict-json whenever you write booleans or arrays into the plugin config.

Required readiness paths:

• plugins.entries.openclaw-a2a-outbound.config.enabled
• plugins.entries.openclaw-a2a-outbound.config.targets
• plugins.entries.openclaw-a2a-outbound.config.policy.allowTargetUrlOverride

Example commands:

openclaw config set plugins.entries.openclaw-a2a-outbound.config.enabled --strict-json true
openclaw config set plugins.entries.openclaw-a2a-outbound.config.targets --strict-json '[{"alias":"support","baseUrl":"https://support.example","default":true}]'
openclaw config set plugins.entries.openclaw-a2a-outbound.config.policy.allowTargetUrlOverride --strict-json false
openclaw config validate

Replace the example alias, base URL, default-target choice, and URL-override policy with the values you confirmed earlier.

Activate and verify

Use a Gateway restart as the deterministic activation step:

openclaw gateway restart

After the restart, start a new session and verify with:

remote_agent { "action": "list_targets" }

If list_targets succeeds and the two enable flags remain true, setup is complete.

Handoff

After setup is complete, stop using this setup skill for normal delegation work. Use the bundled remote-agent skill and the remote_agent tool instead.
