Configuring Google Vertex in GCP

✅Solved

I get the following errors when trying to use Google Vertex. Why?

2026-02-08T08:53:09.994Z [diagnostic] lane task error: lane=main durationMs=5 error="Error: No API key found for provider "google-vertex". Auth store: /home/node/.openclaw/agents/main/agent/auth-profiles.json (agentDir: /home/node/.openclaw/agents/main/agent). Configure auth for this agent (openclaw agents add <id>) or copy auth-profiles.json from the main agentDir."

My auth-profiles.json is:
{
"google-vertex": {
"provider": "google-vertex",
"settings": {
"projectId": "openclaw-sandbox",
"region": "europe-west2"
}
}
}

Solution

Re: Vertex/Workload Identity

Even without the CLI, your Vertex auth issue is likely still the same: Workload Identity ADC doesn’t create the file that OpenClaw’s current Vertex “ADC detection” looks for, so it throws “No API key found…”.

Workaround (if you want to unblock immediately): mount a real auth store format with a dummy profile:

{
  "version": 1,
  "profiles": {
    "google-vertex:default": {
      "type": "api_key",
      "provider": "google-vertex",
      "key": "adc"
    }
  }
}

{
  "version": 1,
  "profiles": {
    "google-vertex:default": {
      "type": "api_key",
      "provider": "google-vertex",
      "key": "adc"
    }
  }
}
