OpenClaw Enterprise Deployment Guide
Use this guide when an OpenClaw workflow has moved past local experiments and needs to run as a business system with owners, scoped tools, audit trails, and recovery paths.
1. Workspace model
- Separate local experimentation, staging, and production workspaces.
- Name the business owner, technical owner, and approval owner for the workflow.
- Document which files, inboxes, sessions, and tools the agent may read.
- Keep durable instructions in versioned files rather than scattered chat context.
2. Secrets and .env handling
- Keep .env files out of repositories, prompts, browser notes, and shared transcripts.
- Move production values into server environment variables or managed secret storage.
- Use separate credentials for local testing and production writes.
- Record who can rotate each token and how a compromised token is revoked.
3. Tool and session controls
- List every OpenClaw tool, MCP server, messaging surface, browser action, and file path the agent can use.
- Require review before external writes such as email, posts, CRM updates, or deploys.
- Treat sessions_send and handoff workflows as production interfaces with owners and logs.
- Use dry-run modes for high-impact workflows before live execution.
4. Operations and rollout
- Log prompts, tool calls, outputs, approvals, errors, and recovery actions.
- Start with one workflow, one owner, one metric, and one weekly review cycle.
- Create fallback steps for failed writes, partial runs, and permission denials.
- Expand only after quality, recovery, and owner trust are proven.
How to score it
Give one point for every checked item. Then use the result to decide what happens next.
- 0-5: keep OpenClaw in local setup or discovery.
- 6-10: run a supervised pilot with strict approvals.
- 11-15: production candidate after logs and recovery paths are tightened.
- 16: ready for a narrow rollout and hardening cycle.
