# NousResearch/hermes-agent · @mention routing token strips before remote DM delivery

## Open now

- Nothing open on GitHub.

An internal @mention routing token was not being stripped prior to remote direct message delivery, causing recipients to re-route rather than receive the intended message. A related addition defines how @mentions are handled in bot/agent mode before delivery.
