Common commands

clawdbot nodes list
clawdbot nodes list --connected
clawdbot nodes list --last-connected 24h
clawdbot nodes pending
clawdbot nodes approve <requestId>
clawdbot nodes status
clawdbot nodes status --connected
clawdbot nodes status --last-connected 24h

nodes list prints pending/paired tables. Paired rows include the most recent connect age (Last Connect). Use --connected to only show currently-connected nodes. Use --last-connected <duration> to filter to nodes that connected within a duration (e.g. 24h, 7d).

Invoke / run

clawdbot nodes invoke --node <id|name|ip> --command <command> --params <json>
clawdbot nodes run --node <id|name|ip> <command...>
clawdbot nodes run --raw "git status"
clawdbot nodes run --agent main --node <id|name|ip> --raw "git status"

Exec-style defaults

nodes run mirrors the model’s exec behavior (defaults + approvals):

• Reads tools.exec.* (plus agents.list[].tools.exec.* overrides).
• Uses exec approvals (exec.approval.request) before invoking system.run.
• --node can be omitted when tools.exec.node is set.

Flags:

• --raw <command>: run a shell string (/bin/sh -lc or cmd.exe /c).
• --agent <id>: agent-scoped approvals/allowlists (defaults to configured agent).
• --ask <off|on-miss|always>, --security <deny|allowlist|full>: overrides.
