Bug Description

Hermes doesn’t seem to use declared tools when using the OpenAI-compatible API. It may not be strictly required, but it should be clear that this is not a complete endpoint replacement.

Add a tool using the OpenAI api format

Expected Behavior

Tools recognised and used by the model

Actual Behavior

Hermes knows nothing about the tools no matter that you declare them.

Affected Component
