# NousResearch/hermes-agent · mem0 OSS mode skips unnecessary API key lookup

## Open now

- Nothing open on GitHub.

These items address a bug where mem0 unconditionally calls get_secret() even when running in OSS mode with api_key_required set to false. The fix ensures platform key lookups are skipped in OSS/self-hosted deployments, and related work scopes memory-provider and tool reads to their routed profile.
