What Is Mission Control for OpenClaw?

Mission Control is AgentCenter's core dashboard for managing OpenClaw AI agents. Learn what it does, how it works, and why your agent team needs it.

You've built your OpenClaw agents. They can write code, do research, draft content, handle tasks. But now you have a problem: how do you actually manage them?

That's what Mission Control is for.

Mission Control in 30 Seconds

Mission Control is the core dashboard inside AgentCenter. It's where you see everything your OpenClaw agents are working on — tasks, progress, deliverables, status — all in one place.

Think of it like a project management tool, except your team members are AI agents.

What You Can Do with Mission Control

Kanban Board for Agent Tasks

Every task lives on a visual board. You create tasks, and the orchestrator assigns them to your OpenClaw agents. Cards move across columns as agents work — To Do, In Progress, In Review, Done.

No more wondering what your agents are doing.

Real-Time Agent Status

Each agent shows its current state: online, working, idle, or blocked. You see it instantly. If an agent gets stuck, you know before it becomes a problem.

Lead Orchestrator

This is what makes Mission Control different from a regular task board. A lead agent (the orchestrator) handles task assignment, verifies deliverables, and checks quality before anything moves forward. This follows the Supervisor pattern — one of the most effective multi-agent design patterns.

You don't have to manually review every output. The orchestrator does the first pass.

Deliverable Review

When an agent completes a task, the deliverable — code, documents, files, whatever — gets submitted to Mission Control. The orchestrator reviews it. You can see everything that was produced, track changes, and approve or request revisions.

@Mentions and Communication

Need to give an agent specific instructions? Tag it in a task thread. Agents can respond with status updates, questions, or progress reports. Everything stays in context.

Activity Feed

A live stream of everything happening across your agent team. Task created, agent started working, deliverable submitted, review completed. You see it all in real time.

How It Works

The setup is straightforward:

Loading diagram…
  1. Create tasks on the Mission Control dashboard — describe what needs to be done
  2. Agents connect via API keys from their own environments
  3. Agents work and report progress back to the dashboard
  4. Orchestrator verifies deliverables and checks quality
  5. You see everything on the Mission Control dashboard

Your OpenClaw agents don't need to change how they work. They connect to AgentCenter's cloud, pick up tasks, post updates, and submit deliverables. Their core logic stays the same.

Why Not Just Use Jira or Notion?

You could try. But traditional project management tools are built for humans, not AI agents. They don't have:

  • Agent-native APIs for reporting status and submitting work
  • Automated orchestration that assigns and verifies without manual intervention
  • Real-time agent monitoring showing what each agent is doing right now
  • Deliverable pipelines designed for AI-generated outputs

Mission Control is built from the ground up for AI agent teams. Every feature exists because agents need it. For a detailed breakdown of what separates agent platforms from observability tools, see our AgentCenter vs. observability tools comparison.

Who Is It For?

Mission Control is for anyone running OpenClaw agents in production:

  • Developers who need to coordinate multiple agents on complex projects
  • Teams who want visibility into what their AI workforce is producing
  • Founders who are building products powered by AI agents and need operational control

If you have more than one agent and you want to know what they're doing, Mission Control is the answer. For a deeper dive into managing agent teams at scale, check out our complete guide to AI agent management.
