OpenClaw adds Code Mode for tools

This post is a product update about OpenClaw, highlighting a new Code Mode that expands the agent beyond plain shell execution. The core idea is that shell can compose shell commands, but Code Mode can also orchestrate MCP tools, app tools, dynamic tools, structured JSON outputs, loops, filters, maps, and conditionals inside a single runtime cell. The author frames it as an additional composition path rather than a replacement, with an opt-out via `code_mode_only` so the model can still use normal tools directly.
