#79 · agent.disabled_toolsets, one list that turns a toolset off on every platform

· Tools, MCP & plugins · CLI / Desktop / Gateway

Hermes Agent picks its tools per platform: the CLI, Telegram, Discord and the rest each keep their own list of toolsets, set in hermes tools.

this key is one list above all of them. a toolset named here is removed everywhere at once, on the CLI and on every gateway platform. it is applied after the per-platform lists.

agent:
  disabled_toolsets:
    - web
    - memory

web takes web_search and web_extract out of every session. memory removes the memory tools and also drops the memory guidance from the prompt.
