# Multi-Agent Routing
|
||||
|
||||
Goal: multiple *isolated* agents (separate workspace + `agentDir` + sessions), plus multiple channel accounts (e.g. two WhatsApps) in one running Gateway. Inbound is routed to an agent via bindings.
|
||||
|
||||
## What is “one agent”?
|
||||
|
||||
An **agent** is a fully scoped brain with its own:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Workspace** (files, AGENTS.md/SOUL.md/USER.md, local notes, persona rules).
|
||||
- **State directory** (`agentDir`) for auth profiles, model registry, and per-agent config.
|
||||
- **Session store** (chat history + routing state) under `~/.clawdbot/agents/<agentId>/sessions`.
|
||||
|
||||
Auth profiles are **per-agent**. Each agent reads from its own:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
~/.clawdbot/agents/<agentId>/agent/auth-profiles.json
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Main agent credentials are **not** shared automatically. Never reuse `agentDir`
|
||||
across agents (it causes auth/session collisions). If you want to share creds,
|
||||
copy `auth-profiles.json` into the other agent's `agentDir`.
|
||||
|
||||
Skills are per-agent via each workspace’s `skills/` folder, with shared skills
|
||||
available from `~/.clawdbot/skills`. See [Skills: per-agent vs shared](/tools/skills#per-agent-vs-shared-skills).
|
||||
|
||||
The Gateway can host **one agent** (default) or **many agents** side-by-side.
|
||||
|
||||
**Workspace note:** each agent’s workspace is the **default cwd**, not a hard
|
||||
sandbox. Relative paths resolve inside the workspace, but absolute paths can
|
||||
reach other host locations unless sandboxing is enabled. See
|
||||
[Sandboxing](/gateway/sandboxing).
|
||||
|
||||
## Paths (quick map)
|
||||
|
||||
- Config: `~/.clawdbot/moltbot.json` (or `CLAWDBOT_CONFIG_PATH`)
|
||||
- State dir: `~/.clawdbot` (or `CLAWDBOT_STATE_DIR`)
|
||||
- Workspace: `~/clawd` (or `~/clawd-<agentId>`)
|
||||
- Agent dir: `~/.clawdbot/agents/<agentId>/agent` (or `agents.list[].agentDir`)
|
||||
- Sessions: `~/.clawdbot/agents/<agentId>/sessions`
|
||||
|
||||
### Single-agent mode (default)
|
||||
|
||||
If you do nothing, Moltbot runs a single agent:
|
||||
|
||||
- `agentId` defaults to **`main`**.
|
||||
- Sessions are keyed as `agent:main:<mainKey>`.
|
||||
- Workspace defaults to `~/clawd` (or `~/clawd-<profile>` when `CLAWDBOT_PROFILE` is set).
|
||||
- State defaults to `~/.clawdbot/agents/main/agent`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Agent helper
|
||||
|
||||
Use the agent wizard to add a new isolated agent:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
moltbot agents add work
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Then add `bindings` (or let the wizard do it) to route inbound messages.
|
||||
|
||||
Verify with:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
moltbot agents list --bindings
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Multiple agents = multiple people, multiple personalities
|
||||
|
||||
With **multiple agents**, each `agentId` becomes a **fully isolated persona**:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Different phone numbers/accounts** (per channel `accountId`).
|
||||
- **Different personalities** (per-agent workspace files like `AGENTS.md` and `SOUL.md`).
|
||||
- **Separate auth + sessions** (no cross-talk unless explicitly enabled).
|
||||
|
||||
This lets **multiple people** share one Gateway server while keeping their AI “brains” and data isolated.
|
||||
|
||||
## One WhatsApp number, multiple people (DM split)
|
||||
|
||||
You can route **different WhatsApp DMs** to different agents while staying on **one WhatsApp account**. Match on sender E.164 (like `+15551234567`) with `peer.kind: "dm"`. Replies still come from the same WhatsApp number (no per‑agent sender identity).
|
||||
|
||||
Important detail: direct chats collapse to the agent’s **main session key**, so true isolation requires **one agent per person**.
|
||||
|
||||
Example:
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
agents: {
|
||||
list: [
|
||||
{ id: "alex", workspace: "~/clawd-alex" },
|
||||
{ id: "mia", workspace: "~/clawd-mia" }
|
||||
]
|
||||
},
|
||||
bindings: [
|
||||
{ agentId: "alex", match: { channel: "whatsapp", peer: { kind: "dm", id: "+15551230001" } } },
|
||||
{ agentId: "mia", match: { channel: "whatsapp", peer: { kind: "dm", id: "+15551230002" } } }
|
||||
],
|
||||
channels: {
|
||||
whatsapp: {
|
||||
dmPolicy: "allowlist",
|
||||
allowFrom: ["+15551230001", "+15551230002"]
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Notes:
|
||||
- DM access control is **global per WhatsApp account** (pairing/allowlist), not per agent.
|
||||
- For shared groups, bind the group to one agent or use [Broadcast groups](/broadcast-groups).
|
||||
|
||||
## Routing rules (how messages pick an agent)
|
||||
|
||||
Bindings are **deterministic** and **most-specific wins**:
|
||||
|
||||
1. `peer` match (exact DM/group/channel id)
|
||||
2. `guildId` (Discord)
|
||||
3. `teamId` (Slack)
|
||||
4. `accountId` match for a channel
|
||||
5. channel-level match (`accountId: "*"`)
|
||||
6. fallback to default agent (`agents.list[].default`, else first list entry, default: `main`)
|
||||
|
||||
## Multiple accounts / phone numbers
|
||||
|
||||
Channels that support **multiple accounts** (e.g. WhatsApp) use `accountId` to identify
|
||||
each login. Each `accountId` can be routed to a different agent, so one server can host
|
||||
multiple phone numbers without mixing sessions.
|
||||
|
||||
## Concepts
|
||||
|
||||
- `agentId`: one “brain” (workspace, per-agent auth, per-agent session store).
|
||||
- `accountId`: one channel account instance (e.g. WhatsApp account `"personal"` vs `"biz"`).
|
||||
- `binding`: routes inbound messages to an `agentId` by `(channel, accountId, peer)` and optionally guild/team ids.
|
||||
- Direct chats collapse to `agent:<agentId>:<mainKey>` (per-agent “main”; `session.mainKey`).
|
||||
|
||||
## Example: two WhatsApps → two agents
|
||||
|
||||
`~/.clawdbot/moltbot.json` (JSON5):
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
{
|
||||
agents: {
|
||||
list: [
|
||||
{
|
||||
id: "home",
|
||||
default: true,
|
||||
name: "Home",
|
||||
workspace: "~/clawd-home",
|
||||
agentDir: "~/.clawdbot/agents/home/agent",
|
||||
},
|
||||
{
|
||||
id: "work",
|
||||
name: "Work",
|
||||
workspace: "~/clawd-work",
|
||||
agentDir: "~/.clawdbot/agents/work/agent",
|
||||
},
|
||||
],
|
||||
},
|
||||
|
||||
// Deterministic routing: first match wins (most-specific first).
|
||||
bindings: [
|
||||
{ agentId: "home", match: { channel: "whatsapp", accountId: "personal" } },
|
||||
{ agentId: "work", match: { channel: "whatsapp", accountId: "biz" } },
|
||||
|
||||
// Optional per-peer override (example: send a specific group to work agent).
|
||||
{
|
||||
agentId: "work",
|
||||
match: {
|
||||
channel: "whatsapp",
|
||||
accountId: "personal",
|
||||
peer: { kind: "group", id: "1203630...@g.us" },
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
],
|
||||
|
||||
// Off by default: agent-to-agent messaging must be explicitly enabled + allowlisted.
|
||||
tools: {
|
||||
agentToAgent: {
|
||||
enabled: false,
|
||||
allow: ["home", "work"],
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
|
||||
channels: {
|
||||
whatsapp: {
|
||||
accounts: {
|
||||
personal: {
|
||||
// Optional override. Default: ~/.clawdbot/credentials/whatsapp/personal
|
||||
// authDir: "~/.clawdbot/credentials/whatsapp/personal",
|
||||
},
|
||||
biz: {
|
||||
// Optional override. Default: ~/.clawdbot/credentials/whatsapp/biz
|
||||
// authDir: "~/.clawdbot/credentials/whatsapp/biz",
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Example: WhatsApp daily chat + Telegram deep work
|
||||
|
||||
Split by channel: route WhatsApp to a fast everyday agent and Telegram to an Opus agent.
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
agents: {
|
||||
list: [
|
||||
{
|
||||
id: "chat",
|
||||
name: "Everyday",
|
||||
workspace: "~/clawd-chat",
|
||||
model: "anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-5"
|
||||
},
|
||||
{
|
||||
id: "opus",
|
||||
name: "Deep Work",
|
||||
workspace: "~/clawd-opus",
|
||||
model: "anthropic/claude-opus-4-5"
|
||||
}
|
||||
]
|
||||
},
|
||||
bindings: [
|
||||
{ agentId: "chat", match: { channel: "whatsapp" } },
|
||||
{ agentId: "opus", match: { channel: "telegram" } }
|
||||
]
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Notes:
|
||||
- If you have multiple accounts for a channel, add `accountId` to the binding (for example `{ channel: "whatsapp", accountId: "personal" }`).
|
||||
- To route a single DM/group to Opus while keeping the rest on chat, add a `match.peer` binding for that peer; peer matches always win over channel-wide rules.
|
||||
|
||||
## Example: same channel, one peer to Opus
|
||||
|
||||
Keep WhatsApp on the fast agent, but route one DM to Opus:
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
agents: {
|
||||
list: [
|
||||
{ id: "chat", name: "Everyday", workspace: "~/clawd-chat", model: "anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-5" },
|
||||
{ id: "opus", name: "Deep Work", workspace: "~/clawd-opus", model: "anthropic/claude-opus-4-5" }
|
||||
]
|
||||
},
|
||||
bindings: [
|
||||
{ agentId: "opus", match: { channel: "whatsapp", peer: { kind: "dm", id: "+15551234567" } } },
|
||||
{ agentId: "chat", match: { channel: "whatsapp" } }
|
||||
]
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Peer bindings always win, so keep them above the channel-wide rule.
|
||||
|
||||
## Family agent bound to a WhatsApp group
|
||||
|
||||
Bind a dedicated family agent to a single WhatsApp group, with mention gating
|
||||
and a tighter tool policy:
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
agents: {
|
||||
list: [
|
||||
{
|
||||
id: "family",
|
||||
name: "Family",
|
||||
workspace: "~/clawd-family",
|
||||
identity: { name: "Family Bot" },
|
||||
groupChat: {
|
||||
mentionPatterns: ["@family", "@familybot", "@Family Bot"]
|
||||
},
|
||||
sandbox: {
|
||||
mode: "all",
|
||||
scope: "agent"
|
||||
},
|
||||
tools: {
|
||||
allow: ["exec", "read", "sessions_list", "sessions_history", "sessions_send", "sessions_spawn", "session_status"],
|
||||
deny: ["write", "edit", "apply_patch", "browser", "canvas", "nodes", "cron"]
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
]
|
||||
},
|
||||
bindings: [
|
||||
{
|
||||
agentId: "family",
|
||||
match: {
|
||||
channel: "whatsapp",
|
||||
peer: { kind: "group", id: "120363999999999999@g.us" }
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
]
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Notes:
|
||||
- Tool allow/deny lists are **tools**, not skills. If a skill needs to run a
|
||||
binary, ensure `exec` is allowed and the binary exists in the sandbox.
|
||||
- For stricter gating, set `agents.list[].groupChat.mentionPatterns` and keep
|
||||
group allowlists enabled for the channel.
|
||||
|
||||
## Per-Agent Sandbox and Tool Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
Starting with v2026.1.6, each agent can have its own sandbox and tool restrictions:
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
{
|
||||
agents: {
|
||||
list: [
|
||||
{
|
||||
id: "personal",
|
||||
workspace: "~/clawd-personal",
|
||||
sandbox: {
|
||||
mode: "off", // No sandbox for personal agent
|
||||
},
|
||||
// No tool restrictions - all tools available
|
||||
},
|
||||
{
|
||||
id: "family",
|
||||
workspace: "~/clawd-family",
|
||||
sandbox: {
|
||||
mode: "all", // Always sandboxed
|
||||
scope: "agent", // One container per agent
|
||||
docker: {
|
||||
// Optional one-time setup after container creation
|
||||
setupCommand: "apt-get update && apt-get install -y git curl",
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
tools: {
|
||||
allow: ["read"], // Only read tool
|
||||
deny: ["exec", "write", "edit", "apply_patch"], // Deny others
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
],
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Note: `setupCommand` lives under `sandbox.docker` and runs once on container creation.
|
||||
Per-agent `sandbox.docker.*` overrides are ignored when the resolved scope is `"shared"`.
|
||||
|
||||
**Benefits:**
|
||||
- **Security isolation**: Restrict tools for untrusted agents
|
||||
- **Resource control**: Sandbox specific agents while keeping others on host
|
||||
- **Flexible policies**: Different permissions per agent
|
||||
|
||||
Note: `tools.elevated` is **global** and sender-based; it is not configurable per agent.
|
||||
If you need per-agent boundaries, use `agents.list[].tools` to deny `exec`.
|
||||
For group targeting, use `agents.list[].groupChat.mentionPatterns` so @mentions map cleanly to the intended agent.
|
||||
|
||||
See [Multi-Agent Sandbox & Tools](/multi-agent-sandbox-tools) for detailed examples.
