# NousResearch/hermes-agent · Mixed: tool/API bugs plus unrelated features

## Open now

- 2 issues, 2 PRs open on GitHub.
- #28825: \[Bug\]: OpenAI-compatible API does not honour tools
- #32660: \[Bug\]: Tools array missing from API calls to custom Ollama endpoint
- PR #28826: feat: roundtable discussion — multi-agent structured debate with consensus tracking
- PR #35618: fix(toolsets): fail closed when explicit toolsets resolve to nothing

Several members address tool-related bugs (missing tools in API calls, toolset resolution failures) and a CLI parsing fix, while one unrelated member proposes a multi-agent roundtable discussion feature. These do not form a single coherent theme.

## TL;DR

- 5 member(s): 2 open issue(s), 0 closed issue(s), 2 open PR(s), 0 merged PR(s), 1 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evidence (`STRUCTURAL_PARTIAL`): some members are connected by structural evidence (shared changed files, or a closing/superseded reference); the rest are joined by an automated relevance judgement over their text.
- Members outside that structural core may belong to a different underlying problem.
- Pairwise link density `0.34`: 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.
