this showing when i probe

That row means the auth/key was found, but the live probe request got rejected by the provider because of the request schema / tool-calling payload — usually the model/provider doesn’t support the tool schema OpenClaw is probing with, or an OpenAI-compatible proxy has stricter schema validation.

First thing: what does openclaw --version show?

Quick checks:

  • Run openclaw models status --probe and see which provider/model row fails.
  • If this is from openclaw models scan, try metadata-only first: openclaw models scan --no-probe.
  • For actual assistant use, switch to a known tool-capable model/provider; some OpenRouter/local/custom API-key models list fine but fail once tools are included.
  • If it’s a custom provider in models.json, double-check the provider baseUrl, api, and model id match what that endpoint expects.
