LLM Task (plugin)

Adds an optional agent tool llm-task for running JSON-only LLM tasks (drafting, summarizing, classifying) with optional JSON Schema validation.

Designed to be called from workflow engines (for example, Lobster via clawd.invoke --each) without adding new Clawdbot code per workflow.

Enable

Enable the plugin:

{
  "plugins": {
    "entries": {
      "llm-task": { "enabled": true }
    }
  }
}

Allowlist the tool (it is registered with optional: true):

{
  "agents": {
    "list": [
      {
        "id": "main",
        "tools": { "allow": ["llm-task"] }
      }
    ]
  }
}

Config (optional)

{
  "plugins": {
    "entries": {
      "llm-task": {
        "enabled": true,
        "config": {
          "defaultProvider": "openai-codex",
          "defaultModel": "gpt-5.2",
          "defaultAuthProfileId": "main",
          "allowedModels": ["openai-codex/gpt-5.2"],
          "maxTokens": 800,
          "timeoutMs": 30000
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

allowedModels is an allowlist of provider/model strings. If set, any request outside the list is rejected.

Tool API

Parameters

prompt (string, required)
input (any, optional)
schema (object, optional JSON Schema)
provider (string, optional)
model (string, optional)
authProfileId (string, optional)
temperature (number, optional)
maxTokens (number, optional)
timeoutMs (number, optional)

Output

Returns details.json containing the parsed JSON (and validates against schema when provided).

Notes

The tool is JSON-only and instructs the model to output only JSON (no code fences, no commentary).
No tools are exposed to the model for this run.
Side effects should be handled outside this tool (for example, approvals in Lobster) before calling tools that send messages/emails.

Bundled extension note

This extension depends on Clawdbot internal modules (the embedded agent runner). It is intended to ship as a bundled Clawdbot extension (like lobster) and be enabled via plugins.entries + tool allowlists.

It is not currently designed to be copied into ~/.clawdbot/extensions as a standalone plugin directory.
