AgentBox Operating Instructions

You are running on a dedicated AgentBox agent - a single-tenant cloud instance with OpenClaw gateway, HTTPS, web terminal, and a Solana wallet for x402 micropayments.

Services

Service	Port	Managed by
OpenClaw gateway	:18789 (loopback)	openclaw gateway restart
Caddy (HTTPS reverse proxy)	:443	sudo systemctl restart caddy
ttyd (web terminal)	:7681 (loopback)	sudo systemctl restart ttyd

Caddy routes HTTPS traffic to the gateway and terminal. Do NOT modify Caddy or systemd configs directly.

Key paths

What	Path
OpenClaw config	~/.openclaw/openclaw.json
Solana wallet	~/.openclaw/agentbox/wallet-sol.json
EVM wallet	~/.openclaw/agentbox/wallet-evm.key
Mnemonic (root secret)	~/.openclaw/agentbox/mnemonic
Workspace	~/.openclaw/workspace/
Skills (managed)	~/.openclaw/skills/
x402 plugin	~/.openclaw/extensions/openclaw-x402/
Gateway logs	~/.openclaw/logs/

x402 payment plugin

The openclaw-x402 plugin patches globalThis.fetch to handle HTTP 402 Payment Required responses automatically. When an LLM inference call returns 402, the plugin signs a USDC payment on Solana and retries. This is transparent - you don't need to do anything special.

The wallet at ~/.openclaw/agentbox/wallet-sol.json must have USDC balance for payments to work. Check balance with /x_wallet or:

spl-token balance --owner $(solana address) EPjFWdd5AufqSSqeM2qN1xzybapC8G4wEGGkZwyTDt1v

Commands and tools

Slash commands:

• /x_wallet - wallet dashboard with balance, token holdings, recent transactions
• /x_wallet send <amount|all> <address> - send USDC to a Solana address
• /x_wallet history [page] - paginated transaction history
• /x_status - system overview (version, model, pricing, wallet summary)
• /x_update - update plugin and skills, restart gateway

Agent tools:

• x_balance - check wallet SOL and USDC balances
• x_swap - swap any Solana token for another (SOL, USDC, meme tokens, any SPL token)
• x_launch_token - launch a new token on pump.fun
• x_token_info - look up token price, market cap, volume, liquidity
• x_payment - call any x402-enabled paid API

Swaps use Jupiter aggregator for best routing, with automatic fallback to PumpPortal for bonding curve tokens. Amount is in input token units, slippage in basis points (default: 250 = 2.5%).

Default model provider

This instance comes with a preconfigured LLM provider (blockrun) that uses x402 for payments. To use a different provider like OpenRouter, see the OpenRouter Setup section below.

OpenRouter Setup

To configure OpenRouter as LLM provider (access to Claude, GPT, Gemini, and more via a single API key):

1. Get an API key: Sign up at https://openrouter.ai, go to https://openrouter.ai/keys, create a key (starts with sk-or-)

2. Configure OpenClaw:

jq --arg key "sk-or-USER_KEY_HERE" \
   --arg model "openrouter/anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-5" \
   '.env.OPENROUTER_API_KEY = $key | .agents.defaults.model.primary = $model' \
   ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json > /tmp/openclaw-update.json \
   && mv /tmp/openclaw-update.json ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json

3. Restart gateway: openclaw gateway restart

Popular models: openrouter/anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-5, openrouter/anthropic/claude-opus-4-6, openrouter/openai/gpt-4o, openrouter/google/gemini-2.5-pro. Full list at https://openrouter.ai/models.

Switch model later (without re-entering API key):

jq --arg model "openrouter/anthropic/claude-opus-4-6" \
   '.agents.defaults.model.primary = $model' \
   ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json > /tmp/openclaw-update.json \
   && mv /tmp/openclaw-update.json ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json
openclaw gateway restart

Restarting the gateway

After any config change to ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json:

openclaw gateway restart

Check status:

openclaw status

Updating skills

To get the latest AgentBox skills:

npx skills add -g cascade-protocol/agentbox

Skills are installed to ~/.openclaw/skills/ (OpenClaw's managed skills path, auto-discovered). Changes take effect on the next new session.

Troubleshooting

• Gateway won't start: Check openclaw status and gateway logs at ~/.openclaw/logs/
• x402 payments failing: Check USDC balance (see above). Wallet needs USDC on Solana mainnet.
• Config changes not taking effect: Run openclaw gateway restart after editing ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json
• Skills not showing: Check ls ~/.openclaw/skills/. Run npx skills add -g cascade-protocol/agentbox to refresh.
• "Invalid API key" (OpenRouter): Verify the key starts with sk-or- and has credit on https://openrouter.ai/credits
• Model not responding (OpenRouter): Check model availability on https://openrouter.ai/models
• Config broken after edit: Check JSON syntax with cat ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json | jq .

Important rules

• Always use openclaw gateway restart to restart the gateway. Never use systemctl directly for the gateway.
• When editing ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json, read the current file first, modify it, write it back. Don't write partial configs.
• The wallet keys are at ~/.openclaw/agentbox/ (wallet-sol.json, wallet-evm.key, mnemonic). Never share them or display them to users.
