✅Solved
I have multiple agents running across ~20 Discord channels simultaneously. Is there a way to compact all active sessions at once? Something like a CLI command (openclaw
sessions compact --all) or a batch operation?
Currently the only way I can find is sending /compact individually in each channel, which isn't practical at this scale.
If there's no built-in way, could I use POST /hooks/agent to send /compact to each session programmatically? If so, what's the correct payload format? Something like:
{
"agentId": "myagent",
"sessionKey": "agent:myagent:discord:channel:123",
"message": "/compact"
}
Also, I have compaction.mode set to "safeguard" with memoryFlush.enabled: true. What exactly does safeguard mode do compared to other modes? Does it auto-compact when the
context window gets full, or is it only triggered manually via /compact?

There isn’t currently a built-in “compact everything” command (e.g. no

Yes, you can POST

openclaw sessions compact --allopenclaw sessionsDo you even need to manually compact 20 sessions?
Probably not: auto-compaction is on by default. When a session gets close to the model’s context limit, OpenClaw will compact automatically and retry the request with the compacted context. Manual/compactDocs: https://docs.openclaw.ai/concepts/compaction

Yes, you can POST /hooks/agent/hooks/agent-
