Session toggle

Pause or resume active memory for the current chat session without editing config:
This only affects the current session; it does not change plugins.entries.active-memory.config.enabled, an agent’s memory.search.rememberAcrossConversations setting, or other global configuration. To pause/resume for all sessions instead, use the global form (requires owner or operator.admin):
The global form writes plugins.entries.active-memory.config.enabled but leaves plugins.entries.active-memory.enabled on, so the command stays available to turn active memory back on later.

How to see it

By default, active memory injects a hidden untrusted prompt prefix that is not shown in the normal reply. Turn on the session toggles that match the output you want:
With those on, OpenClaw appends diagnostic lines after the normal reply (as a follow-up, so channel clients do not flash a separate pre-reply bubble):
  • /verbose on adds a status line: 🧩 Active Memory: status=ok elapsed=842ms query=recent summary=34 chars
  • /trace on adds a debug summary: 🔎 Active Memory Debug: Lemon pepper wings with blue cheese.
Example flow:
With /trace raw, the traced Model Input (User Role) block shows the raw hidden prefix:
By default the blocking sub-agent’s transcript is temporary and deleted after the run completes; see Transcript persistence to keep it.
