# NousResearch/hermes-agent · Local aliases without endpoints routed to OpenRouter unintentionally

## Open now

- Nothing open on GitHub.

These items concern a behavior where local provider aliases (e.g. ollama, vllm) configured without a base_url are silently forwarded to OpenRouter when its API key is present. The members address detecting and blocking this unintended routing.

## TL;DR

## Maintainer resolution verdict

- Internal-tracker verdict over this cluster's issue members: `resolved` · deciding PR(s): `pr-114883`. This is distinct from the fix status above. Weigh it yourself.

## How this cluster was grouped

- Link evidence (`STRUCTURAL_SPANNING`): every member is connected by structural evidence: shared changed files, or a closing/superseded reference.
- Pairwise link density `0.67`: the share of member pairs that carry a link, counting a structural link in full and a relevance-only link at 0.36. `1.00` means every pair is linked.
