OpenClaw Client Adds Live API Cost Tracking, Spending Caps, and Granular Agent Controls

The OpenClaw Client has received a major update focused on cost control and agent customization. Key additions include live API cost tracking with a circular progress bar displayed next to each agent's name, and strict per-agent spending caps to prevent runaway costs.

Cost Controls & Usage Tracking

• Spending Caps: Define strict budget limits for each agent directly in the UI.
• Live Usage UI: An unobtrusive circular progress bar shows current API usage at a glance, placed right next to the agent's name.

Agent Customization

• Sub-agent Management: Orchestrate, view, and manage child agents 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 from your provider per agent (e.g., use a cheap model for simple tasks and a more capable model for complex coding).

The update is available now on the GitHub repo. The developer built it to provide a cleaner local UI for agent management.
