# ZeroClaw Config Reference (Operator-Oriented)
|
|
|
|
This is a high-signal reference for common config sections and defaults.
|
|
|
|
Last verified: **February 18, 2026**.
|
|
|
|
Config file path:
|
|
|
|
- `~/.zeroclaw/config.toml`
|
|
|
|
## Core Keys
|
|
|
|
| Key | Default | Notes |
|
|
|---|---|---|
|
|
| `default_provider` | `openrouter` | provider ID or alias |
|
|
| `default_model` | `anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-6` | model routed through selected provider |
|
|
| `default_temperature` | `0.7` | model temperature |
|
|
|
|
## `[agent]`
|
|
|
|
| Key | Default | Purpose |
|
|
|---|---|---|
|
|
| `max_tool_iterations` | `10` | Maximum tool-call loop turns per user message across CLI, gateway, and channels |
|
|
|
|
Notes:
|
|
|
|
- Setting `max_tool_iterations = 0` falls back to safe default `10`.
|
|
- If a channel message exceeds this value, the runtime returns: `Agent exceeded maximum tool iterations (<value>)`.
|
|
|
|
## `[gateway]`
|
|
|
|
| Key | Default | Purpose |
|
|
|---|---|---|
|
|
| `host` | `127.0.0.1` | bind address |
|
|
| `port` | `3000` | gateway listen port |
|
|
| `require_pairing` | `true` | require pairing before bearer auth |
|
|
| `allow_public_bind` | `false` | block accidental public exposure |
|
|
|
|
## `[memory]`
|
|
|
|
| Key | Default | Purpose |
|
|
|---|---|---|
|
|
| `backend` | `sqlite` | `sqlite`, `lucid`, `markdown`, `none` |
|
|
| `auto_save` | `true` | automatic persistence |
|
|
| `embedding_provider` | `none` | `none`, `openai`, or custom endpoint |
|
|
| `vector_weight` | `0.7` | hybrid ranking vector weight |
|
|
| `keyword_weight` | `0.3` | hybrid ranking keyword weight |
|
|
|
|
## `[channels_config]`
|
|
|
|
Top-level channel options are configured under `channels_config`.
|
|
|
|
| Key | Default | Purpose |
|
|
|---|---|---|
|
|
| `message_timeout_secs` | `300` | Timeout in seconds for processing a single channel message (LLM + tools) |
|
|
|
|
Examples:
|
|
|
|
- `[channels_config.telegram]`
|
|
- `[channels_config.discord]`
|
|
- `[channels_config.whatsapp]`
|
|
- `[channels_config.email]`
|
|
|
|
Notes:
|
|
|
|
- Default `300s` is optimized for on-device LLMs (Ollama) which are slower than cloud APIs.
|
|
- If using cloud APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.), you can reduce this to `60` or lower.
|
|
- Values below `30` are clamped to `30` to avoid immediate timeout churn.
|
|
- When a timeout occurs, users receive: `⚠️ Request timed out while waiting for the model. Please try again.`
|
|
|
|
See detailed channel matrix and allowlist behavior in [channels-reference.md](channels-reference.md).
|
|
|
|
## Security-Relevant Defaults
|
|
|
|
- deny-by-default channel allowlists (`[]` means deny all)
|
|
- pairing required on gateway by default
|
|
- public bind disabled by default
|
|
|
|
## Validation Commands
|
|
|
|
After editing config:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
zeroclaw status
|
|
zeroclaw doctor
|
|
zeroclaw channel doctor
|
|
```
