Root Cause

I am sure it is not worth a PR because I just hacked this together, but a friend asked me to report here so this can be upstreamed some day. Feel free to close the issue if all those fixes are tracked elsewhere.

RAW_BUFFERClick to expand / collapse

Hello, I was having many issues on compaction with minimax 2.7 and asked codex to fix. It generated this: https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/commit/3634837abfe4efbcc729b3d0f8b26a2cb73288dc

There are many fixes together but the main ones are:

  • properly handle context size (minimax API is weird and currently hermes just keep underestimating the context size down instead of fixing parameters)
  • remove duplicate tool calls and file reads
  • summarize tool calls when they are too big

I am sure it is not worth a PR because I just hacked this together, but a friend asked me to report here so this can be upstreamed some day. Feel free to close the issue if all those fixes are tracked elsewhere.
