+# Phase 4 — OpenClaw Tool Calling Resolution
+
+## Problem Statement
+OpenClaw needed Ollama to return structured `tool_calls` in API responses. The issue was a template mismatch:
+- **llama3.3:70b** outputs `<|python_tag|>exec {...}` (Llama's trained format)
+- **qwen3:32b** had template issues causing 400 errors
+- Ollama's template parser couldn't match the model output to the expected tool call format
+
+## Solution Implemented
+**Option A: Pull qwen2.5:7b** — Ollama ships with a working tool-call template for this model.
+
+### What Was Done
+
+#### 1. Model Deployment
+- Pulled `qwen2.5:7b` (~4.7GB) from Ollama registry
+- Model includes native tool-calling support with proper template
+- Fast inference (~2-3s per response)
+
+#### 2. OpenClaw Configuration
+Updated `~/.openclaw/openclaw.json`:
+```json
+{
+  "models": {
+    "providers": {
+      "ollama": {
+        "models": [
+          {
+            "id": "qwen2.5:7b",
+            "name": "qwen2.5:7b",
+            "contextWindow": 32768,
+            "maxTokens": 4096
+          },
+          {
+            "id": "llama3.3:70b",
+            "name": "llama3.3:70b",
+            "contextWindow": 32768,
+            "maxTokens": 4096
+          }
+        ]
+      }
+    }
+  },
+  "agents": {
+    "defaults": {
+      "model": {
+        "primary": "ollama/qwen2.5:7b"
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+#### 3. HASS_TOKEN Setup
+- Fixed `~/.homeai/hass_token` (removed trailing comment from file)
+- Token is properly configured in launchd plist: `com.homeai.openclaw.plist`
+- HA API connectivity verified: `https://10.0.0.199:8123/api/` ✓
+
+#### 4. Tool Calling Verification
+
+**Direct Ollama API Test:**
+```bash
+curl -s http://localhost:11434/api/chat \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{
+    "model": "qwen2.5:7b",
+    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Turn on the reading lamp"}],
+    "tools": [{"type": "function", "function": {"name": "call_service", ...}}],
+    "stream": false
+  }'
+```
+
+**Result:** ✓ Returns proper `tool_calls` array with structured function calls
+
+**OpenClaw Agent Test:**
+```bash
+openclaw agent --message "Turn on the study shelves light" --agent main
+```
+
+**Result:** ✓ Agent successfully executed the command via home-assistant skill
+
+#### 5. Home Assistant Skill Testing
+- Tested `turn_on` command: ✓ Light turned on
+- Tested `turn_off` command: ✓ Light turned off
+- State updates verified via HA API: ✓ Confirmed
+
+## Current Status
+
+### ✓ Completed Tasks (Phase 4)
+- [x] Pull qwen2.5:7b model
+- [x] Configure OpenClaw to use qwen2.5:7b as primary model
+- [x] Wire HASS_TOKEN (`~/.homeai/hass_token`)
+- [x] Test home-assistant skill with real HA entities
+- [x] Verify tool calling works end-to-end
+
+### Available Models
+- `qwen2.5:7b` — Primary (tool calling enabled) ✓
+- `llama3.3:70b` — Fallback (available but not primary)
+
+### Next Steps (Phase 4 Remaining)
+- [ ] Set up mem0 with Chroma backend, test semantic recall
+- [ ] Write memory backup launchd job
+- [ ] Build morning briefing n8n workflow
+- [ ] Build notification router n8n workflow
+- [ ] Verify full voice → agent → HA action flow
+- [ ] Add OpenClaw to Uptime Kuma monitors
+
+## Technical Notes
+
+### Why qwen2.5:7b Works
+1. **Native Template Support**: Ollama's registry includes a proper chat template for qwen2.5
+2. **Tool Calling Format**: Model outputs match Ollama's expected tool call structure
+3. **No Template Tuning Needed**: Unlike llama3.3:70b, no custom TEMPLATE block required
+4. **Performance**: 7B model is fast enough for real-time HA control
+
+### Token File Issue
+The `~/.homeai/hass_token` file had trailing content from the `.env` comment. Fixed by:
+1. Extracting clean token from `.env` using `awk '{print $1}'`
+2. Writing with `printf` (not `echo -n` which was being interpreted literally)
+3. Verified token length: 183 bytes (correct JWT format)
+
+### HA API Connectivity
+- HA runs on `https://10.0.0.199:8123` (HTTPS, not HTTP)
+- Requires `-k` flag in curl to skip SSL verification (self-signed cert)
+- Token authentication working: `Authorization: Bearer <token>`
+
+## Files Modified
+- `~/.openclaw/openclaw.json` — Updated model configuration
+- `~/.homeai/hass_token` — Fixed token file
+- `TODO.md` — Marked completed tasks
+
+## Verification Commands
+```bash
+# Check model availability
+ollama list | grep qwen2.5
+
+# Test tool calling directly
+curl -s http://localhost:11434/api/chat \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"model": "qwen2.5:7b", "messages": [...], "tools": [...], "stream": false}'
+
+# Test OpenClaw agent
+openclaw agent --message "Turn on the study shelves light" --agent main
+
+# Verify HA connectivity
+curl -sk -H "Authorization: Bearer $(cat ~/.homeai/hass_token)" \
+  https://10.0.0.199:8123/api/
+
+# Test home-assistant skill
+HASS_TOKEN=$(cat ~/.homeai/hass_token) \
+  ~/gitea/homeai/homeai-agent/skills/home-assistant/ha-ctl \
+  on light.study_shelves
+```
+
+## Summary
+Phase 4 tool calling issue is **RESOLVED**. OpenClaw can now:
+- ✓ Receive structured tool calls from qwen2.5:7b
+- ✓ Execute home-assistant skill commands
+- ✓ Control HA entities (lights, switches, etc.)
+- ✓ Provide natural language responses
+
+The system is ready for the next phase: memory integration and workflow automation.
