# OpenClaw runtime

> Gateway, configuration lifecycle, and Models access

## Overview

**OpenClaw** is the gateway stack you enable on an **agent**. It wires **channels**, **connectors**, **skills**, **secrets**, and **cron jobs** into one runtime you operate from the Ageneral console and **Agents** APIs.

## Configuration lifecycle

1. Create or update the **agent** in the console or API.
2. Ageneral updates **OpenClaw** configuration on the runtime.
3. Wait briefly, then retest **channels** or tools if changes do not appear immediately.

Some flows—such as **pairing** a messaging channel—require **additional steps** launched from the product.

## Models access

**OpenClaw** calls **`https://models.ageneral.ai`** under **project-level** access managed by Ageneral.

Use **virtual keys** when **your applications** call **Models** outside the agent.

See [Authentication](/authentication) and [Models](/models).
