# NousResearch/hermes-agent · Telegram inbound images exposed to tools; unrelated restart-resume item

## Open now

- Nothing open on GitHub.

Three members center on making inbound Telegram or native images accessible to tools as attachments or cache paths, rather than only visible to the model. The fourth, about auto-resuming interrupted restart sessions, appears to be a separate topic, so the group is only partly coherent.

## TL;DR

- 4 member(s): 0 open issue(s), 1 closed issue(s), 0 open PR(s), 0 merged PR(s), 3 PR(s) closed without merging.
- No fix has been merged to main; one or more PRs were attempted (see below).
- **Recommended:** review the prior/competing PR(s) below. A fix was attempted but not merged; your case may extend or revive that work.

## Maintainer resolution verdict

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evidence (`STRUCTURAL_SPANNING`): every member is connected by structural evidence: shared changed files, or a closing/superseded reference.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