hermes - 💡(How to fix) Fix MiniMax provider: tool calls output as plain text instead of executing

Problem

When using MiniMax as the LLM provider (MiniMax M2.7-highspeed), tool calls are not executed. The model outputs tool call syntax as plain text instead of triggering actual tool execution.

Environment

• Hermes Agent version: v2026.5.29.2
• Provider: MiniMax (minimax)
• Platform: Linux (VPS)

Steps to reproduce

1. Configure MiniMax as the provider
2. Ask the agent to perform any task that requires a tool (e.g., terminal command, file read)
3. The model responds with tool call syntax written as text

Example of broken output:

[TOOL_CALL] {tool => "terminal", args => { --command "echo test" }} [/TOOL_CALL]

The tool is never invoked.

Expected behavior

Tool calls should be executed normally as they are when using other providers (Anthropic, OpenRouter, etc.).

Notes

• Other providers work correctly — this issue is specific to MiniMax
• The model produces valid tool call syntax but the runtime does not intercept/execute it
• Likely a tool call format compatibility issue between MiniMax output and Hermes's tool call parser
