I have searched for all existing open AND closed issues and discussions for similar requests. I have found none that is comparable to my request.
Verify Feature Scope
I have read through and understood the scope definition for feature requests in the Issues section. I believe my feature request meets the definition and belongs in the Issues section instead of the Discussions.
Problem Description
Good day
I have the particular situation that I want to enable each user to use their own local Hermes runtime which is hosted with docker. Therefore, I cannot configure the OpenAI connection in the Admin Settings and need to enable direct connections for the users. That works fine, but direct connections can only use the Chat Completions API type which does not show the current Tool usage used by Hermes and makes for an untransparent chatting experience. Would it be possible to also add the Responses type for direct connections?
Thank you very much and have a great day,
Joshua Krimmer
