Yep, that’s the right spot.

thinkingDefault lives at:

agents: {
  defaults: {
    thinkingDefault: "medium"
  }
}

That sets the global default for agents that don’t have their own override.

A few useful notes:

• Per-agent override: agents.list[].thinkingDefault
• Session override: /think medium

• Valid values: off | minimal | low | medium | high | xhigh | adaptive

If it’s not taking effect, paste openclaw --version plus the relevant agent config and I’ll check it. If this fixed it, please right-click the solution message → Apps → ✅ Mark Solution so Answer Overflow can index it. 🦐
