Bug Description

After configuring the MiniMax provider (the global one, not the China one) in Hermes, with the correct API key (I have a coding plan), running hermes doctor shows me a ⚠ and "(HTTP 404)" next to MiniMax.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Run hermes setup.
2. Add MiniMax (the global one, not the China one) as a provider, with a correct MiniMax API key
3. Run hermes doctor

Expected Behavior

I should not see a ⚠ and "(HTTP 404)" next to MiniMax in the output of hermes doctor because the detection is broken.

Actual Behavior

I see an "(HTTP 404)" next to MiniMax in the output of hermes doctor, even though MiniMax actually works in, for instance, an interactive session.

  ⚠ MiniMax              (HTTP 404)

Root Cause Analysis (optional)

I checked the hermes-agent source code and this because the doctor module tries to detect whether the provider is functioning by senting an HTTP request to "https://api.minimax.io/v1/models" (

Proposed Fix (optional)

We need a different way to detect the correct configuration of MiniMax, or not detect at all, if there is no way to do it without wasting token quota.

Maybe just say that we see an API key configured and not mark it with a ⚠.
