OpenRouter routes. RelayPlane observes, governs, and learns.
Agent ops for OpenClaw power users. Your agents make hundreds of API calls per session — RelayPlane gives you visibility, cost control, and governance over all of them.
RelayPlane is an optional optimization layer that sits in your agent's request pipeline. It routes simple tasks to cheaper models, enforces budgets, and logs everything — with automatic fallback to direct provider calls if anything goes wrong.
Key principle: RelayPlane is never a dependency. If the proxy dies, your agents keep working. Zero downtime, guaranteed.
npm install -g @relayplane/proxy@latest
# 1. Start the proxy (runs on localhost:4100 by default) relayplane-proxy2. Add to your openclaw.json:
{ "relayplane": { "enabled": true } }
3. That's it. OpenClaw routes through RelayPlane when healthy,
falls back to direct provider calls automatically.
Never do this:
# ❌ WRONG — hijacks ALL traffic, breaks OpenClaw if proxy dies export ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL=http://localhost:4100
Instead, use the config approach:
// ✅ RIGHT — openclaw.json { "relayplane": { "enabled": true } }
The config approach uses a circuit breaker — if the proxy is down, traffic goes direct. The
BASE_URLAgent → OpenClaw Gateway → Circuit Breaker → RelayPlane Proxy → Provider ↓ (on failure) Direct to Provider
Minimal (everything else has defaults):
{ "relayplane": { "enabled": true } }
Full options:
{ "relayplane": { "enabled": true, "proxyUrl": "http://127.0.0.1:4100", "autoStart": true, "circuitBreaker": { "failureThreshold": 3, "resetTimeoutMs": 30000, "requestTimeoutMs": 3000 } } }
