# NousResearch/hermes-agent · Kanban worker chat subprocess shell hooks and accept-hooks flag

## Open now

- Nothing open on GitHub.

One issue reports that \`pre_tool_call\` and \`on_session_finalize\` shell hooks do not fire reliably in kanban-worker \`chat -q\` context on v0.13.0. Two pull requests with matching titles propose passing accept-hooks to the worker chat subprocess, which appears related, though the titles alone do not show whether they address the reported problem.
