# NousResearch/hermes-agent · Messaging toolset registration and configurability fixes

## Open now

- Nothing open on GitHub.

Multiple fixes addressing 'messaging' and related toolsets (honcho, send_message) being omitted from CONFIGURABLE_TOOLSETS, silently dropped from gateway/platform sessions, or excluded from tool surfaces. Also includes a Discord-specific feature and end-to-end support fix.

## TL;DR

- 11 member(s): 0 open issue(s), 3 closed issue(s), 0 open PR(s), 1 merged PR(s), 7 PR(s) closed without merging.

- **Recommended:** read PR #10114 (and any competing PRs below) before filing. Confirm the merged change covers your symptom.

## Maintainer resolution verdict

- Internal-tracker verdict over this cluster's issue members: `partially_resolved` · deciding PR(s): `pr-10114`. 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evidence (`STRUCTURAL_PARTIAL`): some members are connected by structural evidence (shared changed files, or a closing/superseded reference); the rest are joined by an automated relevance judgement over their text.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 `0.19`: 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.

## Closed / duplicate issues

- #4523: fix(honcho): honcho toolset excluded from tool surface when platform_toolsets is configured
- #5991: Tools registered to non-CONFIGURABLE_TOOLSETS keys are silently dropped from messaging-platform sessions
- #8616: bug(gateway): messaging toolset missing from CONFIGURABLE_TOOLSETS — send_message silently dropped for all gateway platforms
