# NousResearch/hermes-agent · web_extract not surfacing target HTTP errors and Firecrawl refusals

## Open now

- Nothing open on GitHub.

These members appear to share one theme: web_extract, especially with Firecrawl, may return empty or successful-looking results when the target site responds with an HTTP error or refusal, and the items concern surfacing those as errors. One is a bug report and the other two are fix pull requests, one covering all extract providers and one focused on keyed Firecrawl.

## TL;DR

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

## 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evidence (`STRUCTURAL_SPANNING`): every member is connected by structural evidence: shared changed files, or a closing/superseded reference.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 `0.67`: 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.
