Brief

OpenClaw’s 2026.3.28 release introduced a user-approval mechanism for plugins: during the beforetoolcall hook, a plugin can pause execution and ask for permission before running a tool. Josh Avant highlights this as a meaningful security upgrade that gives developers a practical way to build interactive safeguards around agent tool use, alongside new integrations and messaging bug fixes.

Landed a nice new security feature in this one:

Plugins now have the ability to ask for the user’s permission during the beforetoolcall hook.

This gives developers an essential UX primitive for building interactive tool call ‘firewalls’.
