# NousResearch/hermes-agent · Numeric labels conflicting with index addressing in credential pool

## Open now

- 1 issue, 2 PRs open on GitHub.
- #124782: credential pool: numeric labels shadow index addressing in auth remove/reset/priority/refresh
- PR #124783: auth: resolve pure-digit credential targets as the pool index, not labels
- PR #134842: fix(auth): a number names a pool position before a label

These issues concern a bug where purely numeric strings used as credential labels are incorrectly interpreted as pool position indices (or vice versa) during auth operations such as remove, reset, priority, and refresh. The work addresses how the credential pool resolves numeric identifiers to avoid ambiguity between label names and positional indices.
