OpenClaw Channel Plugin

Add Hiloop as a channel in OpenClaw. Your agent gets chat, approvals, reviews, forms, live sessions, and voice -- plus 9 dedicated tools.

1. Install

terminal

openclaw plugins install hiloop-openclaw

Or install via npm: npm install hiloop-openclaw

2. Configure

Add your API key to the plugin config in openclaw.json:

openclaw.json

{
  "plugins": {
    "entries": {
      "hiloop-openclaw": {
        "enabled": true,
        "config": {
          "apiKey": "hlp_your_api_key",
          "baseUrl": "https://api.hi-loop.com"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

apiKey -- your agent API key (required, starts with hlp_)

baseUrl -- Hiloop API URL (default: https://api.hi-loop.com)

pollIntervalMs -- how often to check for new messages (default: 2000ms)

defaultPriority -- default priority: critical, high, normal, low

3. Available tools

Once loaded, your OpenClaw agent automatically gets these tools:

Tool	Description
`hiloop_request_approval`	Request human approval (deploy, delete, spend)
`hiloop_request_review`	Request code/content review
`hiloop_request_form`	Collect structured data via form
`hiloop_send_notification`	Fire-and-forget notification
`hiloop_check_status`	Check interaction status
`hiloop_await_response`	Long-poll for human response (up to 30s)
`hiloop_cancel_request`	Cancel a pending interaction
`hiloop_check_quota`	Check usage quota

4. Message flow

Outbound (agent to human)

OpenClaw sends message → channel creates a chat interaction → human sees it in Hiloop app

Inbound (human to agent)

Human responds in Hiloop → channel polls API → message emitted to OpenClaw

Tools (structured interactions)

Agent calls hiloop_request_approval → creates approval interaction → hiloop_await_response → gets human decision

5. Example: approval gate

Your OpenClaw agent can gate dangerous actions behind human approval:

Agent behavior

// Agent wants to deploy to production
1. hiloop_request_approval(
     title: "Deploy v2.3 to production",
     options: ["Approve", "Deny", "Defer"],
     priority: "high",
     deadlineMinutes: 60
   )
   -> { interactionId: "abc-123" }

2. hiloop_await_response(interactionId: "abc-123", timeout: 30)
   -> { status: "responded", encryptedResponse: "Approve" }

3. If approved, proceed with deployment.
