hermes - 💡(How to fix) Fix Feature: Allow configuring retry count and interval for web tool HTTP 429 handling [1 pull requests]

Problem

The Hermes web tool has built-in auto-retry for HTTP 429, but the retry behavior cannot be configured:

• Retry count is fixed (not configurable)
• Retry interval is fixed (no configurable wait time between retries)
• When retry exhausts, there is no way to specify custom backoff

This makes it impossible to implement custom retry strategies (e.g., 4 retries with 15s interval) without bypassing the web tool entirely.

Use Case

For NVIDIA API (40 RPM per account, shared quota), a predictable retry pattern is needed:

429 → wait 15s → retry (x4)

The current web tool auto-retry bypasses any wait logic in the agent prompt.

Proposed Solution

Add optional parameters to config.yaml:

tools:
  web:
    retry_count: 4
    retry_interval: 15
    retry_on_429: true

Or expose per-call parameters in the tool call payload.

Alternatives

1. Bypass web tool entirely with terminal script (loses HTML parsing features)
2. Fork Hermes web tool (not maintainable)
3. Write retry into agent prompt (does not work — tool layer bypasses prompt)
