Hi @fleet mural , my agent's default model is lmstudio/qwen3.6-35b-a3b; and until mid-day yesterday there were no issues with it. Then, it suddenly started switching to a fallback, complaining about tools.

Evidence:
Agent consistently chooses a fallback

These logs always print:

20:16:46+00:00 warn agent/embedded {"subsystem":"agent/embedded"} [tools] No callable tools remain after resolving explicit tool allowlist (agents.e.tools.allow: *, lcm_describe, lcm_expand, lcm_expand_query, lcm_grep, nodes); the selected model does not support tools. Fix the allowlist or enable the plugin that registers the requested tool. 20:16:46+00:00 info agent/embedded {"subsystem":"agent/embedded"} [tool-result-truncation] Truncated 68 tool result(s) in session (contextWindow=80000 maxChars=16000 aggregateBudgetChars=16000 oversized=0 aggregate=68) sessionKey=agent:elton:discord:channel:__REDACTED__

Please wait for the rest of the logs and details.

What I've tried already - one variable at a time

  1. True, False, and removing compat.supportsTools setting from the model's config:

  2. Remove this from the agents.list config
    "alsoAllow": [ "lcm_describe", "lcm_expand", "lcm_expand_query", "lcm_grep", "nodes" ],

  3. Restarting the gateway.

  4. Setting the model to the default.

Version: 2026.4.27

Nevermind. Just ran openclaw doctor --fix and it found some missing plugin dependencies. The agent is now using the default model.
