Reasoning-capable Cohere models support two Compatibility API reasoning modes. OpenClaw maps off to none and every enabled thinking level to high. Command A Vision does not support tool use, so OpenClaw keeps agent tools disabled for that model.
Get started
- Install the official plugin and restart the Gateway:
openclaw plugins install @openclaw/cohere-provider
openclaw gateway restart
- Create a Cohere API key.
- Run onboarding:
openclaw onboard --non-interactive --accept-risk --skip-health \
--auth-choice cohere-api-key \
--cohere-api-key "$COHERE_API_KEY"
- Confirm the catalog is available:
openclaw models list --provider cohere
Onboarding only sets Cohere as the primary model when no primary model is already configured.
Onboarding preserves your model entries and leaves generated catalog rows to discovery. With models.mode: "replace", it also writes the built-in catalog because that mode skips discovery.
Environment-only setup
Make COHERE_API_KEY available to the Gateway process, then select the Cohere model:
{
agents: {
defaults: {
model: { primary: "cohere/command-a-plus-05-2026" },
},
},
}
