How to Find All Added Models in OpenClaw
Use the configured list plus the status view to see the primary, the fallback chain, and any model allowlist that is constraining the picker.
When you need the full picture of what is configured, do not rely on one command alone. models list shows the configured entries, while models status shows what the resolver is actually using.
Quick answer
Run openclaw models list for the configured set and openclaw models status for the resolved primary plus fallbacks.
Command line steps
1. List the configured models
This shows the entries you have explicitly kept around.
Command
BASH
2. Inspect the resolved state
This shows the primary, fallbacks, and auth overview in one place.
Command
BASH
3. Check whether the picker is constrained by an allowlist
If users can only pick a small subset, the allowlist is usually the reason.
Command
BASH
What to check if it still fails
- If the model you expect is missing from
models list, it was never saved or it was removed from the allowlist. - If
models statusshows a different primary than expected, look for a session override or a recentmodels setchange. - If you need only fallbacks,
openclaw models fallbacks listis the faster view.
