Hello, I have been using Hermes Agent and encountered a few friction points that I have temporarily patched locally. I believe these would be beneficial for the core repository:

Hello, I have been using Hermes Agent and encountered a few friction points that I have temporarily patched locally. I believe these would be beneficial for the core repository:

  1. Clarifying Tool Registry Diagnostics: Toolsets such as browser_cdp, homeassistant, and yuanbao were triggering generic or misleading warnings in hermes doctor even when system dependencies were present. This was due to missing requires_env declarations in the tool registry. Explicitly adding these allow the doctor to provide actionable feedback (e.g., missing specific tokens) instead of a general failure.

  2. OAuth Polling Resilience: The device flow login (specifically for openai-codex) proved fragile under high-latency or proxied network conditions, often failing with httpx.ConnectError. Wrapping the polling request in hermes_cli/auth.py with a try-except block to ignore transient SSL/connection errors significantly improved the success rate in restricted network environments.

I hope these feedback points help improve the developer experience for others!

extent analysis

TL;DR

Adding requires_env declarations to the tool registry and implementing retry logic for OAuth polling can improve the reliability of Hermes Agent.

Guidance

  • Review the tool registry to ensure all toolsets have explicit requires_env declarations to provide accurate diagnostics.
  • Consider adding try-except blocks to handle transient SSL/connection errors in OAuth polling requests, such as in hermes_cli/auth.py.
  • Test these changes in various network conditions to verify their effectiveness.
  • Evaluate the impact of these changes on the overall developer experience and adjust as needed.

Example

try:
    # OAuth polling request
except httpx.ConnectError:
    # Ignore transient error and retry
    pass

Notes

The effectiveness of these suggestions may vary depending on the specific network environments and toolsets used.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Implementing retry logic for OAuth polling and adding requires_env declarations can improve the reliability of Hermes Agent in various network conditions.
