Summary

On Discord, permission approval prompts render as tappable buttons (great UX), but the clarify tool's multiple-choice questions fall back to plain text — users have to type "A", "B", "C" back into chat.

Expected

When an agent calls clarify with a choices array on Discord, the choices should render as Discord message components (buttons or select menu), matching the UX of permission approval prompts.

Actual

The agent receives {"error": "Clarify tool is not available in this execution context."} when called from a Discord DM, OR the prompt is delivered as plain text with no interactive component, forcing the user to type their answer.

Why it matters

• Permission prompts already have this pattern working on Discord — the rendering infra exists
• Clarify is used constantly for low-friction disambiguation; typing back is clunky on mobile
• Telegram has inline keyboard support in the platform, which could benefit from the same treatment

Platforms to consider

• Discord: message components (buttons for ≤5 choices, select menu for more)
• Telegram: inline keyboards
• Slack: block kit actions

Environment

• Hermes Agent (latest as of May 2026)
• Discord DM context
• Model: Claude Opus 4.7 via OpenRouter
• Reported while using Hermes through a Discord DM bot integration
