Hermes Agent skills_list Repeated Errors?

Hermes Agent appears with duplicate toolnames like skills_listskills_list, prioritizing suspicion of the model output format rather than the skill itself being broken. In the community discussion, this phenomenon was attributed to the problem of model output parsing: the model repeatedly spits out the tool name, and Hermes cannot call the parse as the normal tool.

How to stop the bleeding first

1. Switch to a tool that calls more stable model tests.
2. Reduce the number of skills loaded at once and don't expose the model to too much tooling.
3. Confirm that there is only one clear SKILL.md for each skill directory, stating not to write like command list bombing.
4. If it only appears on a local model, don't continue to run complex skill workflows with it.

These errors can easily lead you to delete skills, but the real problem is often the model's function calling or tool parser compatibility.

In a word: skills_list repeat, most of the time the model is verified first, and then the skill exposure surface is cleaned.
