No shell access for my OpenClaw
On my first mac mini everything works great.
But my second mac mini refuses to do the simpliest tasks like gateway restart or adding some cronjob. He always tells me I should do it in the console:
"What is exactly missing right now:
1. The shell execution tool itself is not exposed to this session.
I currently only have:
β’ message
β’ sessions_list
β’ sessions_history
β’ sessions_send
β’ session_status
2. Because there is no shell/exec tool in that list, I cannot run any terminal commands on your Mac from here."
