OpenClaw Client Adds Cost Tracking and Per-Agent Spending Limits
The latest update to OpenClaw Client (repo: github.com/lotsoftick/openclaw_client) brings granular cost controls and agent customization. Based on user feedback, the release focuses on giving developers tight control over API spending and agent behavior.
Cost Controls & Usage Tracking
- Spending caps: Define strict budget limits per agent.
- Live usage UI: A circular progress bar next to each agent's name shows real-time API usage at a glance.
Agent Customization
- Sub-agent management: Orchestrate, view, and manage child agents directly from the parent agent's interface.
- Skill management: Toggle and configure specific skills (tools) per agent on the fly.
- Granular model selection: Swap between different models per agent (e.g., cheaper model for simple tasks, heavier model for complex coding).
This release is aimed at developers who run multiple AI agents locally and need to track costs or assign different models/tools per agent. The update is available now via the GitHub repository.
