New tool: read_channel — reads message history from Discord channels and threads using the bot's existing token via REST API. Features: - Accepts channel IDs, Discord URLs, or #channel-name references - Returns formatted messages with timestamps, authors, attachments, reply context - Limit 1-50 messages per call - Gated on DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN availability (check_fn) Registration (all 4 layers): 1. tools/read_channel_tool.py — tool implementation + registry.register() 2. model_tools.py — added to _discover_tools() import list 3. toolsets.py — added to _HERMES_CORE_TOOLS + messaging toolset 4. hermes_cli/tools_config.py — added messaging to CONFIGURABLE_TOOLSETS The CONFIGURABLE_TOOLSETS addition is critical: without it, the messaging toolset (including send_message) is silently excluded by the platform tool filter in _get_platform_tools(). This means send_message was only working by accident via legacy resolution paths. Co-authored-by: Al's bot

The
messagingtoolset (containingsend_message) was not inCONFIGURABLE_TOOLSETS. This means_get_platform_tools()intools_config.pysilently excluded it when building the platform tool list for Discord/Telegram/CLI sessions.send_messagewas only working via legacy/composite toolset resolution paths — not through the proper configurable toolset pipeline. AddingmessagingtoCONFIGURABLE_TOOLSETSfixes this for bothsend_messageandread_channel.Use case
Enables the agent to read conversation context from other Discord channels/threads — useful for cross-channel awareness, summarizing discussions, and agent-to-agent collaboration.
