If I pair my openclaw agent with other device through telegram, will that give the other device the same permissions to execute as me

Not automatically.

If you mean node/device pairing via Telegram (/pair), the other device gets only the role/scopes you approve, not your full owner identity. A few important bits:

  • the paired node token is bounded
  • any handed-off operator token is limited by the bootstrap profile, not blanket full access
  • if the device wants system.run/exec, that is still gated by:
    1. what the pairing request asked for
    2. gateway node policy
    3. that node’s own exec approvals/allowlist

So the short version is: pairing does not clone your permissions, but a paired node can still become very powerful if you approve broad scopes and leave node exec permissive. I’d treat node pairing like admin access.

Before approving, check the pending request details with:
