# NousResearch/hermes-agent · OpenAI SDK is_closed method vs property handling

## Open now

- Nothing open on GitHub.

These issues and PRs address a false positive in _is_openai_client_closed caused by is_closed being a method rather than a property in OpenAI SDK versions >=2.21.0. Multiple fixes propose calling is_closed as a callable when appropriate.

## TL;DR

- 5 member(s): 0 open issue(s), 1 closed issue(s), 0 open PR(s), 1 merged PR(s), 3 PR(s) closed without merging.
- A fix was merged to main in PR #4416. Verify it addresses your case.
