Error: ACP runtime preventing spawn of sub-agents
Edit code on a VPS
Main agent cannot spawn the sub-agent coder due to ACP runtime not configured
running on Pi5 8GB. Using openrouter/auto
Error: ACP is now installed, but the coder sub-agent still failed to start (code 1)
Tool Output:
{
"status": "error",
"error": "acpx exited with code 1"
}
I have been struggling for a few days to get my openclaw agent to basically do anything. Had issues with Ollama now back to openrouter but still cannot get anything done.
Next error: Main Agent "Since the ACP runtime (acpx) was throwing errors finding the right harness, I'm going to spawn the coder sub-agent using the standard runtime method right now"
The coder agent is locked out of /home/grodev/(redacted) due to security restrictions in its sandbox—it simply can't read your files right now.
Pls assist

Since you have no

…that WebChat response (“I don’t have direct remote access…”) basically points to one thing:
You’re using
So the model never calls
That’s why everything looks configured correctly but it still won’t SSH.

tools.byProvidertools.allowtools.deny-
tools.profile = codingexec-
tools.exec.host = gateway- allowlist includes
/usr/bin/ssh/usr/bin/git-
ask = off…that WebChat response (“I don’t have direct remote access…”) basically points to one thing:
You’re using openrouter/openrouter/auto
, and it’s very likely picking a model that doesn’t support tool-calling
So the model never calls openrouter/openrouter/autoexecThat’s why everything looks configured correctly but it still won’t SSH.

Fix: pin OpenRouter to a specific tool-capable model (don’t use auto)
