Tokenjuice

tokenjuice is an optional external plugin that compacts noisy exec and bash tool results after the command has already run.

It changes the returned tool_result, not the command itself. Tokenjuice does not rewrite shell input, rerun commands, or change exit codes.

Today this applies to OpenClaw embedded runs and OpenClaw dynamic tools in the Codex app-server harness. Tokenjuice hooks OpenClaw’s tool-result middleware and trims the output before it goes back into the active harness session.

Enable the plugin

Install once:

openclaw plugins install clawhub:@openclaw/tokenjuice

Then enable it:

openclaw config set plugins.entries.tokenjuice.enabled true

Equivalent:

openclaw plugins enable tokenjuice

If you prefer editing config directly:

{
  plugins: {
    entries: {
      tokenjuice: {
        enabled: true,
      },
    },
  },
}

What tokenjuice changes

• Compacts noisy exec and bash results before they are fed back into the session.
• Keeps the original command execution untouched.
• Preserves exact file-content reads and other commands that tokenjuice should leave raw.
• Stays opt-in: disable the plugin if you want verbatim output everywhere.

Verify it is working

1. Enable the plugin.
2. Start a session that can call exec.
3. Run a noisy command such as git status.
4. Check that the returned tool result is shorter and more structured than the raw shell output.

Disable the plugin

openclaw config set plugins.entries.tokenjuice.enabled false

Or:

openclaw plugins disable tokenjuice
