Check Existing Issues

  • I have searched for any existing and/or related issues.
  • I have searched for any existing and/or related discussions.
  • I have also searched in the CLOSED issues AND CLOSED discussions and found no related items (your issue might already be addressed on the development branch!).
  • I am using the latest version of Open WebUI.

Installation Method

Git Clone

Open WebUI Version

0.9.1

Ollama Version (if applicable)

llama cpp

Operating System

Win11

Browser (if applicable)

FireFox

Confirmation

  • I have read and followed all instructions in README.md.
  • I am using the latest version of both Open WebUI and Ollama.
  • I have included the browser console logs.
  • I have included the Docker container logs.
  • I have provided every relevant configuration, setting, and environment variable used in my setup.
  • I have clearly listed every relevant configuration, custom setting, environment variable, and command-line option that influences my setup (such as Docker Compose overrides, .env values, browser settings, authentication configurations, etc).
  • I have documented step-by-step reproduction instructions that are precise, sequential, and leave nothing to interpretation. My steps:
  • Start with the initial platform/version/OS and dependencies used,
  • Specify exact install/launch/configure commands,
  • List URLs visited, user input (incl. example values/emails/passwords if needed),
  • Describe all options and toggles enabled or changed,
  • Include any files or environmental changes,
  • Identify the expected and actual result at each stage,
  • Ensure any reasonably skilled user can follow and hit the same issue.

Expected Behavior

When using Agents such as Hermes Agent through open-webui, there should be indication of what is happening, whats tools, thinking, etc.
Currently when using Hermes Agent user just gets presented with "Il do X".. "I did X" etc, the work does get done but without clear info about what tools executed etc.

Actual Behavior

Image

Model just does his thing and provides textual updated, no json of the tool call etc

Steps to Reproduce

1.Open-webui install through pip (windows)
2.Hermes Agent through WSL
3.ask to do anything that involved tools/skills etc

Logs & Screenshots

0.9.1
Nothing in logs regarding this
