# NousResearch/hermes-agent · Plugin tool approval controls missing in gateway and desktop UIs

## Open now

- Nothing open on GitHub.

These members appear to share one theme: plugin-driven tool approval (e.g. request_tool_approval / pre_tool_call approve escalation) reportedly not surfacing approve controls in gateway (Discord/Telegram/Slack) and desktop interfaces, while reportedly working on CLI. One member is a pull request titled as a fix touching the gateway notify path; its outcome is not established here.

- 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evidence (`STRUCTURAL_PARTIAL`): some members are connected by structural evidence (shared changed files, or a closing/superseded reference); the rest are joined by an automated relevance judgement over their text.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 `0.45`: 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.
