OpenClaw automates release date validation across all your team locations. Configure it to check proposed deployment dates against holiday calendars for every country in your engineering and support footprint, and flag conflicts before release schedules are finalized -- preventing holiday incidents systematically.

Connect ToolRouter to OpenClaw

1Install the CLI
npm install -g toolrouter-mcp
2Call tools directly from OpenClaw
toolrouter-mcp call web-search search --query "AI tools"
toolrouter-mcp tools

Steps

Once connected (see setup above), use the Public Holidays tool:

  1. Ask OpenClaw: "Is 2026-12-25 a holiday in the US?"
  2. OpenClaw confirms the holiday status
  3. Ask: "Show me safe release windows in December 2026 for US and UK teams"
  4. Choose a deployment date that avoids all holidays

Example Prompt

Try this with OpenClaw using the Public Holidays tool
Check December 2026 holidays for US, UK, and India. I need to find a safe deployment window when all three teams are available.

Tips

  • Always check holidays for every country where you have on-call staff
  • Consider the days surrounding holidays too for reduced-capacity planning
  • Use this as a standing check before every quarterly release schedule is finalized
