description	Coordinate OpenClaw tasks across multiple devices/nodes with deterministic routing, failover, and handoff rules. Use when users run OpenClaw on laptop/desktop/VPS combinations and need resilient cross-device execution.

Multi-Device Agentic Mesh

Coordinate work across multiple OpenClaw nodes safely.

Baseline discovery

Start with node and session visibility checks:

openclaw status
openclaw nodes list
openclaw sessions list

If a command is unavailable in a deployment, use the nearest supported status/list command.

Build a routing table

Classify each node/device by:

• trust level (high/medium/low)
• latency/availability
• tool access and capabilities
• data sensitivity suitability

Use this table to route tasks to the best node.

Routing policy

Apply these defaults:

1. Send sensitive tasks to highest-trust local node.
2. Send long-running/background tasks to stable always-on node.
3. Keep user-facing replies near the active user channel/session.

Failover

If a primary node fails:

1. retry once
2. reroute to secondary node
3. report failover event and degraded mode

Never hide failover from the user.

Session handoff

When moving work across devices:

• summarize current state
• include pending actions
• include exact next command/message
• confirm handoff destination

Guardrails

• Do not route sensitive data to untrusted nodes.
• Ask before changing long-lived routing defaults.
• Keep decisions auditable (what was routed where and why).
