Guardrails for Automated Remediation

Bound an agent's self-healing so a fix cannot loop or grow: only auto-fix idempotent actions, keep rollbacks, scale-downs and database changes behind human approval, set a cooldown, cap runs per day, and notify a channel for every action the agent takes on its own.

Commands

$ openclaw auto-fix add --name "Disk Cleanup" --condition "disk_usage > 90%" --approval auto --notify "#ops-info" --max-runs "3 per day"
$ openclaw auto-fix add --name "Service Restart on OOM" --condition "service_oom_killed = true" --approval auto --notify "#ops-alerts" --cooldown "30m"
$ openclaw command add --name "rollback" --trigger "/rollback" --source "GitHub,AWS Production" --announce --channel slack --to "#ops-critical"
$ openclaw agent edit "DevOps Monitor" --append-message

Keep every automatic fix small, bounded and visible

Guardrails for Automated Remediation

# Keep every automatic fix small, bounded and visible Self-healing earns its keep only when the fix cannot grow, loop or hide. The failure mode is not a wrong fix, it is a right fix that fires eleven times because an alert flaps, or a destructive action that was never meant to run without a human.
