# NousResearch/hermes-agent · Profile catalog endpoint authority over model validation

## Open now

- Nothing open on GitHub.

These changes address how model validation is routed, ensuring a profile's own catalog endpoint is used as the authoritative source rather than falling through to the generic /models listing. The fix prevents profile-owned catalogs from deferring to the generic endpoint for acceptance or rejection decisions.
