Bug Description

Why does the hermes-agent always get the time wrong? This has happened multiple times. Once, when I asked it to search for the latest international news, it provided information from 2025. When I asked it what the current time was, it said 2025. Only after I asked it to verify the time did it say it was 2026. There have also been cases where it gets the specific hour and minute wrong. Many times, it says it's morning when it's actually afternoon. Then when I ask it for the time, it says it's 10:xx AM, and only after I ask it to verify does it check with the date command and realize it's actually the afternoon.Moreover, I’m not the only one who has noticed this. I’ve also seen other users reporting similar issues on some social platforms.

Steps to Reproduce

1.chat with weixin。 2.search news。 3.give me wrong time news。

Expected Behavior

Give me right time messages。

Actual Behavior
