Sync vs Async
Use sync (openclaw_chat):

- Simple commands
- When you need immediate response
Use async (openclaw_chat_async):
- Research tasks
- Long-running operations
- Tasks that might timeout
Example Workflows
Quick question:
openclaw_chat message="What's the weather?"
Long task:
openclaw_chat_async message="Research competitors and write a report"
→ { task_id: "task_abc123" }
openclaw_task_status task_id="task_abc123"
→ { status: "running" }
# ... poll until complete ...
openclaw_task_status task_id="task_abc123"
→ { status: "completed", result: "..." }
