Root Cause

Hermes Agent enforces a 120s timeout on all MCP server tool calls. Large HLS video download + ffmpeg merge takes longer than this limit.

Problem

Config: mcp_servers.twitter.timeout: 120 (2 minutes)

Large HLS videos (~77MB, 88+ fragments) fail to download completely. The MCP tool gets killed at ~30% (exit code 130) while downloading.

Reproduction

  1. Tweet with ~77MB HLS video
  2. Call mcp_twitter_download_tweet_video
  3. Tool killed at ~30% progress (exit 130)
  4. Direct yt-dlp in terminal completes successfully (~5 min)

Root Cause

Hermes Agent enforces a 120s timeout on all MCP server tool calls. Large HLS video download + ffmpeg merge takes longer than this limit.

Expected Behavior

Either:

  1. Increase the default timeout for twitter MCP server (e.g. 600s for download tools)
  2. Add per-tool timeout override in config
  3. Document the timeout limitation for large file downloads
