I'll check the docs and source for the exact config, then I'll give you the cleanest fix.

That’s usually verbose being on for that session.

In the Telegram chat where you see it, send these as standalone messages:

/verbose off
/trace off
/reasoning off

If you want it off by default, make sure your config does not have verbose enabled, for example:

agents: {
  defaults: {
    verboseDefault: "off",

  },
}

If it still keeps showing, please paste:

openclaw --version

and I’ll help you check whether it’s a session override or config default.

Yep, on 2026.4.12 this should be controllable.

Most likely fix:

/verbose off

Send that in the Telegram chat itself as a standalone message.

If it still shows tool bubbles after that, then it’s usually one of these:

1. Session override is stuck

   • Open Control UI, find that session, set verbose back to inherit

2. Config default is forcing it on

   • Check for:

   agents: {
     defaults: {
       verboseDefault: "on", // change to "off"
     },
   }

• Also check per-agent verboseDefault

3. Other debug visibility is on
   • Also send:

   /trace off
   /reasoning off

If you want, paste your agents config block and I’ll point to the exact line to change.

That config looks fine, I don’t see anything there forcing tool chatter on.

So this is very likely a session-level verbose setting in that Telegram chat, not your agent config.

Try this in the Telegram chat:

/verbose
/verbose off
/trace off
/reasoning off

A couple useful notes:

• /verbose by itself should show whether that session is currently on, full, or off
• your tools.profile: "full" is not the thing causing this
