Bug Description

Telegram passes /status to agent instead of a system call returning metrics

Steps to Reproduce

In Telegram, send /status

Expected Behavior

Expect system generated message with:

• Session ID, creation timestamp, last activity
• Token count
• Agent running state
• Connected platforms list

Actual Behavior

"/status" was passed to the agent and they gave me a summary of things we had been discussing/working on.

Affected Component

Gateway (Telegram/Discord/Slack/WhatsApp)

Messaging Platform (if gateway-related)

Telegram

Operating System

Ubuntu 24.04 Sever (Docker)

Python Version

3.13.5

Hermes Version

0.7.0

Relevant Logs / Traceback

Root Cause Analysis (optional)

The /status command handler exists in the code at /opt/hermes/gateway/run.py line 3109. It should return:

• Session ID, creation timestamp, last activity
• Token count
• Agent running state
• Connected platforms list

Proposed Fix (optional)
