Start Here

Five-minute quickstart

Get your first agent running on Toolklaw.

Sign up

Go to /pricing and choose a plan. Free plan works great to start.

Get an API key

In your dashboard, go to Settings → API Keys and create a new key. Copy it.

Configure OpenClaw

Use the setup wizard or add this to your OpenClaw config:

{
  "provider": "toolklaw",
  "model": "tk_claw",
  "api_key": "tkc_live_...",
  "routing_mode": "assistant"
}

Deploy your agent

Start your OpenClaw gateway. Send a message to your agent. Watch it work at micro-cent costs.

Monitor usage

Check your dashboard Overview → Credit Balance to see real-time usage and costs.

Concepts

Key ideas to understand

Before you dive deep, learn these foundations.

Models

Four inference lanes

tk_router for classification. tk_claw for routine work. tk_control for structured output. tk_ultra for hard reasoning.

Routing Modes

Choose your behavior

Assistant mode: auto-escalate on low confidence. Operator mode: escalate for structured output. Builder: never escalate.

Credits

How billing works

1 credit = $0.001. Included credits per plan. Unused credits roll over 60 days. Top-ups anytime.

BYO Premium

Connect your own API key

OAuth or manual API key. Escalation charges bill to your account. Toolklaw takes zero markup.

Budget Controls

Spend caps prevent surprises

Set max per-turn cost and daily premium budget. Agent fails gracefully when limits hit.

Escalation Policy

When to go premium

Confidence threshold, structured output requirements, safety gates — you control the rules.
