Overview

Mission Control is the web UI + HTTP API for operating OpenClaw. Its where you manage boards, tasks, agents, approvals, and (optionally) gateway connections.

Problem statement

  • Provide a single place to coordinate work (boards/tasks) and execute automation (agents) safely.

Non-goals (first pass)

  • Not a general-purpose project management suite.
  • Not a full observability platform.

Key concepts (glossary-lite)

  • Board: a workspace containing tasks, memory, and agents.
  • Task: unit of work on a board; has status and comments.
  • Agent: an automated worker that can execute tasks and post evidence.
  • Gateway: OpenClaw runtime host that executes tools/skills and runs heartbeats/cron.
  • Heartbeat: periodic agent check-in loop for doing incremental work.
  • Cron job: scheduled execution (recurring or one-shot) isolated from conversational context.
