Hermes Agent suddenly has fewer tools on a certain platform, so don't worry about version regressions. The official Tools documentation is clearly stated: tools are grouped by toolset and can be enabled or disabled by platform. Therefore, the CLI has a terminal and browser, but it does not mean that Telegram, Slack, and Discord are also fully open.
How to check first
- Run
hermes toolsto see the current toolset configuration. - Check if this platform is restricted to certain toolsets.
- Then see if the tool is also affected by credentials or environment variables, such as browsers, image generation, and some external backends.
Why Hermes designed it this way
Because different platforms have different risks. Open the terminal, file writing, and browser automation to every chat entrance, and the security boundary will be difficult to maintain. Cropping toolsets by platform is part of the official design.
Therefore, the shortest conclusion of this question is: few tools are not necessarily broken, so look at toolsets and platform permissions first, instead of reinstalling Hermes Agent first.
