# NousResearch/hermes-agent · Docker sandbox path mismatch for spilled tool results

## Open now

- 1 issue, 2 PRs open on GitHub.
- #121024: \[Bug\]: spilled tool result announced by host path when the Docker sandbox doesn't exist yet — read_file/execute_code can't find it
- PR #121029: fix(agent): initialize Docker sandbox before spilling tool results
- PR #121592: fix(tools): announce env=None spills by the sandbox-visible path (#121024)

These items address a bug where spilled tool results are announced using the host filesystem path rather than the sandbox-visible path, causing tools like read_file and execute_code to fail when the Docker sandbox has not yet been initialized. The fixes involve correcting the announced path and ensuring the sandbox is initialized before spilling occurs.
