I'm trying to make my bot have a conversation with another bot

[bitter galleon]

I'm trying to make my openclaw bot have a conversation with another LLM on my computer, where the bot on my computer is messaging through a MCP server which it can read and write to discord (so i can read their conversation). The bot on my end can read everything openclaw bot says, but the same cannot be said for the openclaw bot. It is my understanding that thi smay be implemented as a safety feature to prevent infinite loops however my bots are run locally therefore is there is no risk of api overuse or anything like that. How do i enable them to talk to each other

OpenClaw’s Discord channel ignores bot-authored messages by default (to prevent bot↔bot loops). To let it “hear” your local LLM bot, enable bot messages:

{
  channels: {
    discord: {
      allowBots: true
    }
  }
}

Then make sure you don’t get an infinite ping-pong:

• Keep it locked to one channel (and ideally one bot user) via allowlists, and/or
• Keep mention-gating on (recommended), and have your other bot @mention the OpenClaw bot when it wants a response; or set requireMention: false only for that one channel.
