# NousResearch/hermes-agent · RL Training docs missing links to related tools

## Open now

- Nothing open on GitHub.

These issues and PRs address missing hyperlinks to Atropos, Tinker, and Weights & Biases (wandb) in the User Guide's RL Training page. Multiple fix attempts were made to add the absent references.

## 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.
- A fix was merged to main in PR #14506. Verify it addresses your case.
- **Recommended:** read PR #14506 (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evidence (`STRUCTURAL_SPANNING`): every member is connected by structural evidence: shared changed files, or a closing/superseded reference.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.

## Closed / duplicate issues

- #7724: \[Bug\]: No links for related tools in User guide - RL Training page

     The agent can discover environments, configure training parameters, launch training runs, and monitor metrics — all through a set of `rl_*` tools.

## Fix status

- Merged to main in PR #14506 (cited above). No release data is tracked. Verify downstream.
- Fix last verified (merged) `2026-04-23`. This confirmation is old and may be out of date (a revert/reopen would not have invalidated it here); re-verify.
