# NousResearch/hermes-agent · Preserve images in Gemini tool results (functionResponse)

## Open now

- Nothing open on GitHub.

The members all concern Gemini tool results that include images, where the native translation appears to reduce tool-result content to text only. Three are proposed fixes to embed or preserve image parts in functionResponse, and one describes the underlying problem; none confirm a resolution status.

## TL;DR

- 4 member(s): 0 open issue(s), 1 closed issue(s), 0 open PR(s), 1 merged PR(s), 2 PR(s) closed without merging.

- **Recommended:** read PR #96466 (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: `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evidence (`STRUCTURAL_SPANNING`): every member is connected by structural evidence: shared changed files, or a closing/superseded reference.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.
