Based on the session history, I can see this Discord thread only contains your current question — the original trigger event isn't logged in this session. Let me help you trace why the agent responded.

Common Reasons for "Unexpected" Agent Responses

Here are the most likely causes for an agent responding when you didn't expect a trigger:

1. "Always-On" Mode

Some WhatsApp groups are configured with mode: "always" or similar settings that make the agent respond to all messages. Check if your group config has:

{
  "mode": "always"  // or missing trigger config entirely
}

2. Keyword/Pattern Match

The message might have contained specific keywords that trigger responses. Check your agent's trigger patterns:

clawdbot config get agents.defaults.triggers  # or similar

3. @Mention Trigger

Even in WhatsApp, mentioning the bot (via @BotName or certain patterns) can trigger responses.

4. Reply Context

If the message was a reply to one of the agent's own messages, it might have triggered a follow-up response.

Diagnostic Steps to Trace the Issue

Check the gateway logs for the exact trigger:

clawdbot gateway logs --follow --filter "whatsapp"

Look for lines like:

• trigger matched: - shows which trigger fired
• keyword: - shows what keyword matched
• mode: always - confirms always-on mode

Check your group configuration:

clawdbot config get channels.whatsapp  # or wherever your WhatsApp groups are configured

Check agent configuration:

clawdbot config get agents.defaults.triggers
