# NousResearch/hermes-agent · Fix agent retry logic for dropped stream tool calls

## Open now

- Nothing open on GitHub.

These issues and PRs address a bug where a tool call from a dropped or incomplete stream was executed using a repaired (truncated) prefix of its arguments instead of being retried. The fix ensures unfinished stream tool calls are retried rather than run with potentially corrupted partial arguments.

## Maintainer resolution verdict

- Internal-tracker verdict over this cluster's issue members: `resolved` · deciding PR(s): `pr-124196`. 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evidence (`STRUCTURAL_SPANNING`): every member is connected by structural evidence: shared changed files, or a closing/superseded reference.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 `0.50`: 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.

## Closed / duplicate issues
