Bug Description

Hermes cannot send file attachments to Mattermost. When the agent tries to attach a file to a Mattermost message — an image it generated, a document a tool produced, a screenshot, anything — the text part of the message goes through but the file is silently dropped. The bot returns a warning saying Mattermost is not in the supported list, even though the Mattermost adapter clearly has working upload code.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Configure the Mattermost gateway with a working bot token and a channel/DM the bot can post in.
  2. Ask Hermes to send you a file in Mattermost — for example: "generate a small PNG and send it to me in Mattermost", or "send me the file /tmp/foo.pdf in Mattermost".
  3. Hermes invokes send_message with a MEDIA:<path> tag in the message body.
  4. The text arrives in Mattermost; the file does not.

Expected Behavior

The file should arrive in Mattermost as a native attachment on the bot's message, the same way it does on Telegram, Discord, Matrix, Signal, Feishu, etc.

Actual Behavior

The message arrives in Mattermost with text only — no attachment. The send_message tool result includes the warning: MEDIA attachments were omitted for mattermost; native send_message media delivery is currently only supported for telegram, discord, matrix, weixin, signal, yuanbao and feishu If the agent tries to send a media-only message (no text), the tool returns an error and posts nothing: send_message MEDIA delivery is currently only supported for telegram, discord, matrix, weixin, signal, yuanbao and feishu; target mattermost had only media attachments So from a user's perspective, the bot simply cannot share files on Mattermost.
