Problem

delegate_task API call failed after 3 retries - HTTP 404 Not Found This blocks 'auto research' capability (spawning sub-agents to research autonomously)

Error

API call failed after 3 retries: HTTP 404: 404 page not found

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Call delegate_task with a goal
  2. Get 404 error

Expected

Sub-agent spawns and works

Gateway Status

  • hermes-agent version v0.11.0
  • Gateway running at localhost

extent analysis

TL;DR

The delegate_task API call failing with an HTTP 404 error suggests a potential issue with the endpoint or the gateway configuration, which may be resolved by verifying the API endpoint and the gateway setup.

Guidance

  • Verify that the delegate_task API endpoint is correctly configured and accessible, ensuring it matches the expected URL and version.
  • Check the gateway logs for any errors or warnings related to the API call to gather more information about the failure.
  • Confirm that the hermes-agent version (v0.11.0) supports the delegate_task API and that there are no known issues with this version that could cause the 404 error.
  • Test the API call with a different goal or parameters to see if the issue is specific to certain inputs.

Example

No specific code snippet can be provided without more context about the API or the application code, but ensuring the API call is correctly formatted and the endpoint exists is crucial.

Notes

The solution may depend on the specific implementation details of the delegate_task API and the hermes-agent, which are not fully provided in the issue description.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Verify and potentially adjust the API endpoint and gateway configuration to ensure compatibility and correct routing, as the issue seems to be related to the API call rather than a version-specific problem.
