# NousResearch/hermes-agent · Slack assistant thread status not cleared after replies

## Open now

- Nothing open on GitHub.

Most members (four of five) concern clearing the Slack assistant thread status or typing indicator after a response is delivered, including one report involving MCP tools running post-reply. One member is about respecting reply_in_thread and reply_to_mode for channel replies, which appears to be a separate topic.

## TL;DR

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