Pin the Tool Version a Workflow Was Tested Against

A workflow is tested against one shape of a tool reply, and a tool can change that shape without ever failing, so the workflow quietly reads the wrong fields. Pinning the version makes the change visible instead of silent. This skill covers version pinning for agent tools: record the tool version a workflow was tested against next to the workflow rather than in shared config, compare the deployed version with the pin before the call and flag a mismatch, refuse the call rather than parse a reply in an old shape, and move the pin only after the workflow is re tested.

Commands

$ openclaw command add --name "tool-pin" --trigger "/tool-pin" --source "Ops Console" --message "Report the tool version a workflow was tested against and the version now deployed, so a reply shape change is seen before it is read in the old shape."

$ openclaw alert-rule add --name "Tool Version Drift" --group-by "workflow" --window "1h" --action "Alert when the deployed tool version differs from the pinned one without a recorded upgrade, which points at a shape change the workflow has not been re tested for."

$ openclaw auto-fix add --name "Hold On Mismatch" --condition "tool.version != workflow.pinned_version" --action "Hold the call and report the mismatch, rather than parsing a reply in a shape the workflow was not tested against." --approval "auto" --notify "#ops-info" --cooldown "1h"

$ openclaw runbook add --name "Tool Version Pinning" --trigger "/runbook tool-pin" --tags "integration,ops" --steps "Record the tested tool version next to the workflow. Compare it with the deployed version before the call. Flag a mismatch. Hold the call on mismatch. Move the pin only after a re test."
