Plugins

Agent plugins were retired on 2026-11-03. A plugin sees only what its harness shows it. Tested: on Hermes the request that names a session went out unmasked, and on OpenClaw 2026.6 no model traffic reached the plugin at all. A gateway sees every request, whichever harness sent it.

The retired plugins' code stays in the repository history at integrations/. The old guides are kept for reference: Claude Code, Hermes + srt, Hermes + OpenShell.
