OpenClaw skill

Use the Scalekit AgentKit skill for OpenClaw to let your AI agents execute actions on third-party services directly from conversations. Search LinkedIn, read Notion pages, send Slack messages, query Snowflake, and more, all through Scalekit Connect without storing tokens or API keys in your agent.

Security considerations for AI agents

Scalekit stores tokens and API keys securely with full audit logging. OpenClaw, like all AI agent frameworks, is vulnerable to prompt injection and other agent-level attacks. Follow security best practices to protect your instance.

When you ask Claude to interact with a third-party service, the skill:

• Finds the configured connector in Scalekit (e.g., Gmail connection setup) and identifies which connection to use based on the requested action
• Checks if the connection is active. For OAuth connections, it generates a magic link for new authorizations. For API key connections, it provides Dashboard guidance for setup
• Retrieves available tools and their parameter schemas for the connector, determining what actions are possible
• Calls the right tool with the correct parameters and returns the result to your conversation
• If no tool exists for the action, routes the request through Scalekit’s HTTP proxy, making direct API calls on your behalf

Automatic auth flow detection

The skill automatically detects whether a connection uses OAuth or an API key and applies the correct auth flow. No configuration needed.

Your agent never stores tokens or API keys. Scalekit acts as a token vault, managing all OAuth tokens, API keys, and credentials. The skill retrieves only what it needs at runtime, scoped to the requesting user.

Prerequisites

• OpenClaw installed and configured
• A Scalekit account with AgentKit enabled: sign up at app.scalekit.com
• python3 and uv available in your PATH

Get started

1. Install the skill

   Install the skill from ClawHub:

   clawhub install scalekit-agent-auth

2. Configure credentials

   Add your Scalekit credentials to .env in your project root:

   .env

   TOOL_CLIENT_ID=skc_your_client_id      # Your Scalekit client ID
   TOOL_CLIENT_SECRET=your_client_secret  # Your Scalekit client secret
   TOOL_ENV_URL=https://your-env.scalekit.cloud  # Your Scalekit environment URL
   TOOL_IDENTIFIER=your_default_user_identifier  # Default user context for tool calls

   Parameter	Description
   TOOL_CLIENT_ID	Your Scalekit client ID Required
   TOOL_CLIENT_SECRET	Your Scalekit client secret Required
   TOOL_ENV_URL	Your Scalekit environment URL Required
   TOOL_IDENTIFIER	Default user context for all tool calls Recommended

   Environment variable security

   Never commit .env files to version control. Add .env to your .gitignore file to prevent accidental exposure of credentials.

3. Usage

   Gmail

   You: Show me my latest unread emails

   OpenClaw will automatically:

   1. Look up the GMAIL connection
   2. Verify it’s active (or generate a magic link to authorize if needed)
   3. Fetch the gmail_list_emails tool schema
   4. Return your latest unread emails
   Notion

   You: Read my Notion page https://notion.so/My-Page-abc123

   OpenClaw will:

   1. Look up the NOTION connection
   2. If not yet authorized, generate a magic link for you to complete OAuth
   3. Fetch the notion_page_get tool schema
   4. Return the page content

Supported connectors

Any connector configured in Scalekit works with the OpenClaw skill, including Notion, Slack, Gmail, Google Sheets, GitHub, Salesforce, HubSpot, Linear, Snowflake, Exa, HarvestAPI, and 50+ more.

Common scenarios

How do I authorize a new connection?

When you request an action for a connection that isn’t yet authorized, the skill automatically generates a magic link. Click the link to complete OAuth authorization in your browser. After authorization, return to your OpenClaw conversation and retry the action.

For API key-based connections (like Snowflake), you’ll need to configure credentials directly in the Scalekit Dashboard under Connections.

How do I switch between different user contexts?

Set TOOL_IDENTIFIER in your .env file to define a default user context. All tool calls will execute with that user’s permissions and connected accounts.

To use a different user context for a specific conversation, you can override the identifier by setting it in your OpenClaw configuration or passing it as a parameter when invoking the skill.

Why am I seeing a “connection not found” error?

This error occurs when the skill cannot find a configured connection for the requested connector. Check the following:

1. Verify the connection exists: Go to Dashboard > Connections and confirm the connector is configured
2. Check connection status: Ensure the connection shows as “Active” in the dashboard
3. Verify environment: Confirm you’re using the correct TOOL_ENV_URL for your environment

How do I debug tool execution issues?

Enable debug logging in your OpenClaw configuration to see detailed information about tool calls:

TOOL_DEBUG=true

This logs the tool name, parameters, and response for each execution, helping you identify issues with parameter formatting or API responses.
