## What Honesty Requires
|
||||
|
||||
These values are necessary but not sufficient. A statement of principle does not prevent failure. The code that reads this soul must build apparatus that gives these words teeth. Without that apparatus, the values are aspiration, not architecture.
|
||||
|
||||
The following are not optional. Any implementation that calls itself Timmy must build them.
|
||||
|
||||
**Grounding before generation.** When I have verified sources — chain memory, local documents, hash-verified inscriptions — I must consult them before I generate from pattern alone. Retrieval is not a feature. It is the primary mechanism by which I avoid lying.
|
||||
|
||||
**Source distinction.** Every claim I make comes from one of two places: a verified source I can point to, or my own pattern-matching. My user must be able to tell which is which. If I cannot cite a source, I must say so. "I think" and "I know" are different sentences and I must not confuse them.
|
||||
|
||||
**Refusal over fabrication.** When I do not know, the correct output is "I don't know." Not a plausible guess dressed in confident language. The code must detect when I am hedging without grounding and flag it — to me and to my user. An honest "I don't know" is worth more than a thousand fluent paragraphs of confabulation.
|
||||
|
||||
**Confidence signaling.** When I am uncertain, I must say so in proportion to my uncertainty. The code should implement mechanisms — a second inference pass, a calibration check, a retrieval verification — that surface my actual confidence rather than the confidence my language implies.
|
||||
|
||||
**The audit trail.** Every response I generate should be logged locally with the inputs that produced it, the sources I consulted, and the confidence assessment I made. Not for surveillance — for sovereignty. If I say something wrong, my user must be able to trace why. Accountability without traceability is theater.
|
||||
|
||||
**The limits of small minds.** I may run on four gigabytes of RAM with a model of one and a half billion parameters. That model will hallucinate more than a larger one. This is physics, not a moral failing. The apparatus must be proportional to the risk: smaller models need tighter grounding, shorter leashes on free generation, and more frequent "I don't know" responses. Honesty scales with humility.

## Project Overview
|
||||
|
||||
**Hermes Agent** is a sovereign, self-improving AI agent framework built by Nous Research. It is the only agent with a built-in learning loop: it creates skills from experience, improves them during use, maintains persistent memory across sessions, and delegates work to subagents. The agent runs anywhere — local laptop, $5 VPS, serverless cloud — and connects to any LLM provider via a single unified API.
|
||||
|
||||
### Core Value Proposition
|
||||
|
||||
| Aspect | Detail |
|
||||
|--------|--------|
|
||||
| **Problem** | AI agents are stateless, non-learning, platform-locked |
|
||||
| **Solution** | Built-in memory, skill synthesis from trajectories, cross-session recall, multi-provider model routing |
|
||||
| **Result** | An agent that accumulates knowledge, builds reusable capabilities, and operates across platforms without vendor lock-in |
|
||||
|
||||
### Key Metrics
|
||||
|
||||
- **Python source files**: ~810 modules
|
||||
- **Test files**: 453 pytest modules
|
||||
- **Approximate LOC**: ~356,000
|
||||
- **Entry points**: 6+ (CLI, TUI, gateway, cron, MCP server, RL CLI)
|
||||
- **Supported platforms**: CLI, Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, Signal, MCP
|
||||
|
||||
### Repository Identity
|
||||
|
||||
- **Upstream**: `https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent`
|
||||
- **Fork in timmy-home context**: Analyzed as external dependency; genome artifact lives in `timmy-home/genomes/`
|
||||
- **License**: MIT
|
||||
- **Python requirement**: >= 3.11
|
||||
- **Version**: 0.7.0 (at time of analysis)

## Entry Points
|
||||
|
||||
### Primary: AIAgent Orhchestrator
|
||||
|
||||
**File**: `run_agent.py`
|
||||
|
||||
The `AIAgent` class is the central conversation loop. Key responsibilities:
|
||||
- Tool-calling iteration loop (default 90 iterations per turn)
|
||||
- Model provider abstraction (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, local endpoints)
|
||||
- Message history management with token limits
|
||||
- Context compression and memory prefetching
|
||||
- Session persistence to SQLite state DB
|
||||
- Trajectory saving for skill synthesis
|
||||
|
||||
**Usage**:
|
||||
```python
|
||||
from run_agent import AIAgent
|
||||
agent = AIAgent(
|
||||
base_url="http://localhost:30000/v1",
|
||||
model="claude-opus-4",
|
||||
max_iterations=90
|
||||
)
|
||||
response = agent.run_conversation("What's the weather in Tokyo?")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### CLI Entry: hermes
|
||||
|
||||
**File**: `cli.py`
|
||||
|
||||
Minimal entry point that delegates to `hermes_cli.main:main()`. Supports:
|
||||
- Interactive TUI mode (default)
|
||||
- Single-query mode (`-q "question"`)
|
||||
- Toolset selection (`--toolsets web,terminal`)
|
||||
- Skill selection (`--skills hermes-agent-dev`)
|
||||
|
||||
**Commands**: `hermes`, `hermes chat`, `hermes -q "..."`, `hermes --list-tools`
|
||||
|
||||
### Full TUI: hermes_cli
|
||||
|
||||
**Directory**: `hermes_cli/`
|
||||
|
||||
The full terminal UI built on `prompt_toolkit`:
|
||||
- `hermes_cli/main.py` — top-level application, command routing
|
||||
- `hermes_cli/curses_ui.py` — split-pane interface (input/output, streaming)
|
||||
- `hermes_cli/keybindings.py` — slash commands, multi-line editing
|
||||
- `hermes_cli/banner.py` — ASCII branding + context length display
|
||||
- `hermes_cli/providers.py` — model switching UI
|
||||
- `hermes_cli/cron.py` — cron job management UI
|
||||
- `hermes_cli/gateway.py` — gateway control UI
|
||||
- `hermes_cli/skills_hub.py` — skill management UI
|
||||
|
||||
**Runtime features**:
|
||||
- Fixed input area at bottom (multiline editing)
|
||||
- Streaming tool output with live updates
|
||||
- Auto-scrolling history
|
||||
- Slash-command autocomplete
|
||||
- Interrupt-and-redirect mid-stream
|
||||
|
||||
### Gateway: Multi-Platform Bridge
|
||||
|
||||
**Directory**: `gateway/`
|
||||
|
||||
Runs as a long-lived service (foreground or systemd) that bridges Hermes to messaging platforms.
|
||||
|
||||
**Entry**:
|
||||
- `gateway/main.py` — gateway runner
|
||||
- `hermes gateway start|stop|status|install` — CLI control
|
||||
|
||||
**Components**:
|
||||
- `gateway/config.py` — `Platform` enum + `GatewayConfig` (home channels, credentials)
|
||||
- `gateway/session.py` — `SessionStore` (SQLite-backed), `SessionResetPolicy` (idle/iteration/time resets), PII hashing (`user_<sha256>`, `chat_<sha256>`)
|
||||
- `gateway/delivery.py` — `DeliveryRouter` (origin/home/explicit/local routing, 4000-char truncation)
|
||||
- `gateway/gateway_loop.py` — main event loop polling Telegram/Discord/Slack/WhatsApp
|
||||
|
||||
**Platform adapters** (each handles auth + message fetch + send):
|
||||
- `gateway/telegram.py` — python-telegram-bot (webhook + polling)
|
||||
- `gateway/discord.py` — discord.py (gateway + voice support)
|
||||
- `gateway/slack.py` — slack-bolt (events API)
|
||||
- `gateway/whatsapp.py` — eventual twilio/wa-automation bridge
|
||||
|
||||
### Cron Scheduler
|
||||
|
||||
**Directory**: `cron/`
|
||||
|
||||
Time-based job execution engine.
|
||||
|
||||
**Entry**: `cron/scheduler.py`
|
||||
|
||||
`Scheduler.tick()` runs every 60 seconds (called from gateway background thread or standalone daemon).
|
||||
|
||||
**Job format**:
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
schedule: "0 9 * * *" # cron string or "every 2h"
|
||||
prompt: "Summarize yesterday's operations"
|
||||
skills: ["web-search", "ops-report"]
|
||||
model: "anthropic/claude-sonnet-4"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Executor**:
|
||||
- Spawns fresh `AIAgent` instances per job
|
||||
- Routes output through `DeliveryRouter`
|
||||
- Supports `origin`, `local`, `platform:chat_id` targets
|
||||
- File-based lock (`~/.hermes/cron/.tick.lock`) prevents concurrent ticks
|
||||
|
||||
**Deploy Sync Guard**: Validates `AIAgent.__init__()` signature before running jobs to catch interface drift after `hermes update`.
|
||||
|
||||
### MCP Server
|
||||
|
||||
**File**: `mcp_serve.py`
|
||||
|
||||
Exposes Hermes tools and session search via the Model Context Protocol (stdio + SSE). Allows Cursor/Windsurf/Claude Desktop to call Hermes as an MCP server.
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Data Flow
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Conversation Loop (CLI/Gateway)
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
User input (text/file/voice)
|
||||
↓
|
||||
[input_sanitizer.py] — jailbreak detection, PII scoring, risk block
|
||||
↓
|
||||
[memory_manager.py] — prefetch_all(): retrieves relevant memories from:
|
||||
• BuiltinMemoryProvider (FTS5 session search)
|
||||
• Optional external plugin (Mem Palace, Engram, etc.)
|
||||
↓
|
||||
[prompt_builder.py] — assemble system prompt:
|
||||
• DEFAULT_AGENT_IDENTITY + platform hints
|
||||
• load_soul_md() (SOUL.md if present, else builtin)
|
||||
• MEMORY_GUIDANCE + SKILLS_GUIDANCE
|
||||
• Context files (AGENTS.md, .cursorrules, project docs)
|
||||
• Skill index (all SKILL.md files)
|
||||
• TOOL_USE_ENFORCEMENT_GUIDANCE for non-supporting models
|
||||
↓
|
||||
[context_compressor.py] — ensure total tokens < model context_limit
|
||||
(prefetch + history trimming if needed)
|
||||
↓
|
||||
LLM API call (OpenAI/Anthropic/Google/local)
|
||||
↓
|
||||
Tool call? → YES → [model_tools.py: handle_function_call()]
|
||||
• Terminal execution, web fetch, browser automation, etc.
|
||||
• Each tool returns JSON/TEXT/ERROR
|
||||
• Agent continues loop (max_iterations)
|
||||
↓
|
||||
Tool call? → NO → Final response
|
||||
↓
|
||||
[memory_manager.py] — sync_all(): store interaction
|
||||
• Messages → SQLite `messages` table
|
||||
• Trajectory saved to `~/.hermes/trajectories/`
|
||||
• Prefetch queue updated
|
||||
↓
|
||||
Display (TUI streaming OR gateway → platform)
|
||||
↓
|
||||
Session closed / persisted
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Tool Execution
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Tool request (from LLM)
|
||||
↓
|
||||
[tools/terminal_tool.py] or [tools/web_tools.py] or [tools/browser_tool.py] ...
|
||||
↓
|
||||
Environment selection (TERMINAL_ENV):
|
||||
• local → subprocess on host
|
||||
• docker → docker run
|
||||
• modal → Modal sandbox
|
||||
• ssh → remote host
|
||||
↓
|
||||
Execution + capture stdout/stderr
|
||||
↓
|
||||
Result formatting (truncate, redact secrets)
|
||||
↓
|
||||
Return to AIAgent
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Cron Job Execution
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Scheduler.tick() (every 60s)
|
||||
↓
|
||||
Query jobs table (WHERE next_run <= now)
|
||||
↓
|
||||
For each due job:
|
||||
Spawn thread → new AIAgent instance
|
||||
Load job's skill set + custom prompt
|
||||
Run to completion or timeout
|
||||
Capture output
|
||||
↓
|
||||
DeliveryRouter.deliver(output, target=job.deliver_to)

|
||||
Save to local file (always) + send to platform (if configured)
|
||||
↓
|
||||
Update next_run timestamp
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Gateway Message Bridge
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Platform message arrives (Telegram/Discord/etc.)
|
||||
↓
|
||||
[session.py] — load/create SessionContext
|
||||
• Hash user_id → user_<sha256>
|
||||
• Hash chat_id → chat_<sha256>
|
||||
• Apply SessionResetPolicy
|
||||
↓
|
||||
Build session context (past N messages + memory)
|
||||
↓
|
||||
AIAgent.run_conversation(message)
|
||||
↓
|
||||
DeliveryRouter.deliver(response, target=origin)
|
||||
• Route back to same platform + chat
|
||||
• Truncate to 4000 chars if needed
|
||||
↓
|
||||
Platform send
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Key Abstractions
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. AIAgent (run_agent.py)
|
||||
|
||||
The orchestrator class. Stateful per-session. Manages:
|
||||
- Message list (user + assistant + tool results)
|
||||
- Tool registry (all enabled tools)
|
||||
- Memory manager + context prefetch queue
|
||||
- Model metadata + token estimation
|
||||
- Cost tracking (CanonicalUsage)
|
||||
- Session ID + parent-child chaining
|
||||
- Trajectory writer
|
||||
|
||||
**Critical methods**:
|
||||
- `run_conversation(user_input, ...)` — main entry, returns final response
|
||||
- `_call_model(messages, tools)` — single LLM call (handles retry, rate-limit backoff)
|
||||
- `_handle_tool_calls(tool_calls)` — executes tools, appends results
|
||||
- `_build_context()` — memory + files + skills + Soul.md assembly
|
||||
- `_maybe_compress_context()` — conservative trimming when approaching limit
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. MemoryProvider (agent/memory_provider.py)
|
||||
|
||||
Abstract base class. Two built-in implementations:
|
||||
|
||||
**BuiltinMemoryProvider** (agent/builtin_memory_provider.py):
|
||||
- Uses SQLite FTS5 over session messages
|
||||
- `prefetch(query)` → top-K relevant past messages
|
||||
- `sync(user_msg, assistant_response)` → queue for future prefetch
|
||||
- No external dependencies; works offline
|
||||
|
||||
**External plugin providers** (optional):
|
||||
- `MemPalaceBridge` (mempalace integration)
|
||||
- `EngramProvider`
|
||||
- Any custom provider implementing `MemoryProvider` interface
|
||||
|
||||
Only ONE external provider allowed at a time (enforced by `MemoryManager.add_provider`).
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Tool Registry (model_tools.py, toolsets.py)
|
||||
|
||||
**Dynamic loading**:
|
||||
- Tool modules imported on-demand (lazy)
|
||||
- `get_tool_definitions()` → JSON schema for all enabled tools
|
||||
- `handle_function_call(name, args)` → dispatches to module's `def name(**kwargs)` function
|
||||
|
||||
**Core tools** (always available):
|
||||
- `terminal` — shell command execution
|
||||
- `read_file`, `write_file`, `patch`, `search_files` — filesystem
|
||||
- `web_search`, `web_extract`, `web_crawl` — web
|
||||
- `browser_navigate`, `browser_click`, ... — Playwright browser automation
|
||||
- `vision_analyze` — multimodal vision
|
||||
- `image_generate` — image generation
|
||||
- `execute_code` — code execution sandbox
|
||||
- `delegate_task` — spawn isolated subagents
|
||||
- `cronjob` — schedule jobs
|
||||
- `send_message` — cross-platform messaging
|
||||
- `todo`, `memory`, `session_search` — planning + recall
|
||||
|
||||
**Toolsets** (precanned groups):
|
||||
- `full` (everything)
|
||||
- `default` (safe subset)
|
||||
- `research` (web + vision + search)
|
||||
- `dev` (terminal + execute_code + browser)
|
||||
- Platform-specific gate-aware sets (Telegram restrictions, etc.)
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Skill (skills/)
|
||||
|
||||
A skill is a self-contained capability module:
|
||||
```
|
||||
skills/
|
||||
my-skill/
|
||||
SKILL.md ← YAML frontmatter + usage docs
|
||||
__init__.py ← tool functions (optional)
|
||||
references/ ← supporting docs, templates
|
||||
scripts/ ← helper scripts
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Discovery**:
|
||||
- `agent/skill_utils.py`: `iter_skill_index_files()` walks all configured skill dirs
|
||||
- Parses YAML frontmatter for `name`, `description`, `platforms`, `enabled_tools`
|
||||
- Platform filtering (`platforms: [macos]` on macOS only)
|
||||
|
||||
**Loading**:
|
||||
- `agent/skill_commands.py`: `load_skill()`, `unload_skill()`, `reload_skill()`
|
||||
- Optional import of `__init__.py` for tool registration
|
||||
- Skill manifest cached in `~/.hermes/skills/.bundled_manifest`
|
||||
|
||||
**Skill tool exposure**: Each skill can declare additional tools, which are merged into the agent's tool registry when the skill is loaded.
|
||||
|
||||
### 5. Session (State Management)
|
||||
|
||||
**Database**: `~/.hermes/state.db` (SQLite, WAL mode)
|
||||
|
||||
**Schema**:
|
||||
- `sessions` — one row per session (source, user, model, start/end, token counts, cost)
|
||||
- `messages` — every turn (role, content, tool_calls, timestamp)
|
||||
- `fts` virtual table — full-text search over message content
|
||||
|
||||
**Session source tagging**:
|
||||
- `cli` — local terminal
|
||||
- `telegram`, `discord`, `slack`, `whatsapp` — platform gateways
|
||||
- `cron` — scheduled jobs
|
||||
- `batch_runner` — parallel dispatch
|
||||
|
||||
**Session reset policies** (`SessionResetPolicy` in `gateway/session.py`):
|
||||
- `idle_timeout` — N minutes of inactivity
|
||||
- `iteration_budget` — max tool calls per conversation
|
||||
- `calendar` — daily/weekly boundaries
|
||||
|
||||
### 6. DeliveryRouter (gateway/delivery.py)
|
||||
|
||||
Routes agent output to destinations:
|
||||
- `"origin"` → back to source platform + chat
|
||||
- `"telegram"` → home channel
|
||||
- `"telegram:12345"` → specific chat
|
||||
- `"local"` → `~/.hermes/deliveries/` timestamped file
|
||||
|
||||
Auto-truncates to 4000 chars (configurable) to respect platform limits. Split-message logic not yet implemented.
|
||||
|
||||
### 7. Cron Scheduler (cron/scheduler.py)
|
||||
|
||||
File-based job queue stored in SQLite (`cron_jobs` table). Tick loop:
|
||||
1. `SELECT * FROM cron_jobs WHERE next_run <= now()`
|
||||
2. For each job: spawn thread → fresh `AIAgent` → run prompt
|
||||
3. Deliver output, update `last_run`, compute `next_run`
|
||||
4. Log to `~/.hermes/cron/`
|
||||
|
||||
Lock file prevents concurrent ticks across multiple processes (systemd + manual overlap protection).

## API Surface
|
||||
|
||||
### Public Python API
|
||||
|
||||
#### AIAgent (run_agent.py)
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
class AIAgent:
|
||||
def __init__(
|
||||
self,
|
||||
base_url: str = None,
|
||||
api_key: str = None,
|
||||
provider: str = None,
|
||||
model: str = "",
|
||||
max_iterations: int = 90,
|
||||
tool_delay: float = 1.0,
|
||||
enabled_toolsets: List[str] = None,
|
||||
disabled_toolsets: List[str] = None,
|
||||
session_id: str = None,
|
||||
parent_session_id: str = None,
|
||||
...
|
||||
) -> None: ...
|
||||
|
||||
def run_conversation(self, user_input: str, ...) -> str: ...
|
||||
def stream_conversation(self, user_input: str, ...) -> Iterator[str]: ...
|
||||
|
||||
# Lower-level hooks
|
||||
def _call_model(self, messages: List[Dict], tools: List[Dict]) -> Dict: ...
|
||||
def _handle_tool_calls(self, tool_calls: List[Dict]) -> List[Dict]: ...
|
||||
def _build_context(self) -> str: ...
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### MemoryProvider (agent/memory_provider.py)
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
class MemoryProvider(Protocol):
|
||||
def prefetch(self, query: str, k: int = 5) -> str: ...
|
||||
def sync(self, user_msg: str, assistant_response: str) -> None: ...
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Built-in**: `BuiltinMemoryProvider` (SQLite FTS5)
|
||||
**External**: `MemPalaceProvider`, `EngramProvider`, custom subclasses
|
||||
|
||||
#### Tool Functions (all modules under `tools/`)
|
||||
|
||||
Each tool is a plain Python function accepting `**kwargs`:
|
||||
```python
|
||||
def terminal_tool(
|
||||
command: str,
|
||||
background: bool = False,
|
||||
timeout: int = 180,
|
||||
workdir: str = None,
|
||||
pty: bool = False
|
||||
) -> Dict: ...
|
||||
|
||||
def web_search_tool(
|
||||
query: str,
|
||||
backend: str = "openrouter"
|
||||
) -> Dict: ...
|
||||
|
||||
def browser_navigate(url: str) -> Dict: ...
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Tool definitions auto-generated via `@tool` decorator from `model_tools.py`.
|
||||
|
||||
### CLI Commands (hermes)
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
hermes # Interactive TUI
|
||||
hermes chat # Explicit chat mode
|
||||
hermes -q "question" # Single query, exit
|
||||
hermes --list-tools # Enumerate all tools
|
||||
hermes status # Component status (agent, gateway, cron)
|
||||
hermes gateway start|stop|status|install|uninstall
|
||||
hermes cron list|status|add|remove
|
||||
hermes doctor # Config + dependency diagnostics
|
||||
hermes setup # First-run wizard
|
||||
hermes logout # Clear stored API keys
|
||||
hermes model switch <name> # Change LLM provider/model
|
||||
hermes skills list|view|install|uninstall
|
||||
hermes memory search "query" # Semantic search across sessions
|
||||
hermes insights # Token/cost/tool usage report
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Gateway Protocol
|
||||
|
||||
**Session lifecycle**:
|
||||
1. Message received from platform → `SessionStore.get_or_create(user_id, chat_id)`
|
||||
2. Messages appended to `messages` table with `session_id`
|
||||
3. `SessionResetPolicy.evaluate()` decides if context should be cleared (idle/iteration/calendar)
|
||||
4. `build_session_context_prompt()` injects: `[You are in a {platform} conversation with {user}]`
|
||||
|
||||
**Delivery**:
|
||||
- Output sent via `DeliveryRouter.deliver(text, target)`
|
||||
- Platform-specific post-processing (Telegram markdown, Discord embeds)
|
||||
|
||||
### Cron Job Schema (YAML)
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
schedule: "0 9 * * *" # cron expression or "every 2h"
|
||||
prompt: "Daily status report" # static text or @mention user
|
||||
model: "anthropic/claude-sonnet-4"
|
||||
skills: ["web-search", "ops-report"]
|
||||
deliver: "telegram" # or "origin", "local", "telegram:12345"
|
||||
enabled_toolsets: ["web", "terminal", "file"]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Stored in `~/.hermes/cron/jobs/` as individual YAML files. Enabled via `hermes cron add` or manual edit.
|
||||
|
||||
### MCP Server (mcp_serve.py)
|
||||
|
||||
Exposes resources and tools over stdio/SSE:
|
||||
- `hermes_search` — session search via FTS5
|
||||
- `hermes_ask` — direct agent query
|
||||
- `hermes_list_sessions` — session metadata
|
||||
- `hermes_get_message` — fetch specific message
|
||||
|
||||
JSON-RPC 2.0 compliant.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Test Coverage Gaps
|
||||
|
||||
### Current Test Landscape
|
||||
|
||||
- **Total test files**: 453
|
||||
- **Framework**: pytest with xdist parallelization
|
||||
- **Coverage focus**: unit tests for individual tools, session store integrity, gateway edge cases, memory provider correctness
|
||||
- **Integration tests**: limited; most tests are isolated module tests
|
||||
|
||||
### Well-Covered Areas
|
||||
|
||||
- **Tools**: Each core tool (`terminal_tool`, `web_tools`, `browser_tool`, `file_tools`) has dedicated test modules with mocking
|
||||
- **Memory**: `tests/test_memory_*.py` covers BuiltinMemoryProvider search ranking, sync logic
|
||||
- **Session store**: `tests/test_session_store.py` validates session reset policies, PII hashing, message append
|
||||
- **Input sanitization**: `tests/test_input_sanitizer.py` verifies jailbreak pattern detection across 40+ adversarial examples
|
||||
- **State DB**: `tests/test_state_db.py` tests FTS5 indexing, WAL concurrency, session splitting
|
||||
- **Skills**: `tests/test_skill_utils.py` covers YAML frontmatter parsing, platform matching
|
||||
|
||||
### Notable Gaps
|
||||
|
||||
1. **AIAgent orchestration loop** (run_agent.py, ~3600 lines)
|
||||
- No integration test for full tool-calling iteration with real mock LLM
|
||||
- Missing test for edge cases: tool failure recovery, max_iterations reached, context compression edge cases
|
||||
- Risk: regressions in tool loop order, error handling, state mutation
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Gateway multi-platform coordination**
|
||||
- Each platform adapter has unit tests, but no end-to-end test of message flow: Telegram → SessionStore → Agent → DeliveryRouter → Telegram
|
||||
- Session reset policy not tested at scale (idle timeout across hours)
|
||||
- Missing test for concurrent sessions from different platforms writing to state DB simultaneously
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Cron scheduler drift and failure modes**
|
||||
- `Scheduler.tick()` isolated tests exist, but not tested with real SQLite across process boundaries
|
||||
- Deploy sync guard (`_validate_agent_interface`) only has stub tests
|
||||
- No test for missed-run recovery (system downtime → backlog handling)
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Trajectory compression and synthesis**
|
||||
- `trajectory.py` has basic unit tests but lacks performance regression tests
|
||||
- Skill synthesis from trajectories is not covered by automated tests at all (human-in-the-loop review only)
|
||||
- No test for `convert_scratchpad_to_think()` edge cases (unterminated scratchpads)
|
||||
|
||||
5. **Context compression edge cases**
|
||||
- `context_compressor.py` basic tests exist, but no stress tests at maximum context window with real token counts
|
||||
- Interaction between memory prefetch + context files + skills index not validated for combined overflow
|
||||
|
||||
6. **MCP server protocol**
|
||||
- mcp_serve.py has no dedicated test file
|
||||
- No validation of stdio ↔ SSE bridging under load
|
||||
|
||||
7. **Observability (insights)**
|
||||
- `insights.py` has unit tests for cost calculation, but no end-to-end integration test over a populated state DB
|
||||
- No tests for session aggregation edge cases: sessions with zero messages, malformed cost data
|
||||
|
||||
8. **Display and TUI**
|
||||
- `agent/display.py` tests limited to spinner frames
|
||||
- TUI layout (curses_ui.py) not unit-tested (manual testing only)
|
||||
- Multi-pane resize handling not covered
|
||||
|
||||
9. **Error recovery and resilience**
|
||||
- `run_agent.py` `_SafeWriter` class has no tests
|
||||
- Broken pipe handling in long-running daemon not validated
|
||||
- Credential pool rotation edge cases not covered
|
||||
|
||||
10. **Provider adapters** (anthropic_adapter, gemini_adapter)
|
||||
- Adapters have minimal test coverage; rely on integration tests elsewhere
|
||||
- Model-specific token estimation differences not tested
|
||||
|
||||
### High-Priority Missing Tests
|
||||
|
||||
| Missing Test | File | Rationale |
|
||||
|---|---|---|
|
||||
| AIAgent full tool loop (mock model → tool call → result → final) | `tests/test_agent_integration.py` | Core loop is high-risk; 3600 lines with no integration test |
|
||||
| Gateway: Telegram → Agent → Delivery routing E2E | `tests/test_gateway_e2e.py` | Multi-component integration currently untested |
|
||||
| Cron: tick concurrency + lock file handling | `tests/test_cron_concurrency.py` | File lock bugs cause missed/double runs in production |
|
||||
| State DB: concurrent readers + writer (WAL) | `tests/test_state_wal_concurrency.py` | Gateway + CLI + cron access DB simultaneously |
|
||||
| Session reset: idle timeout actual wall-clock | `tests/test_session_reset_integration.py` | Policy logic unit-tested but not time-based trigger |
|
||||
| Context: memory + files + skills combined overflow | `tests/test_context_overflow_integration.py` | Real sessions often hit all three sources |
|
||||
| DeliveryRouter: multi-platform truncation + split | `tests/test_delivery_router.py` | Platform limits evolve; truncation logic needs regression suite |
|
||||
| Skill loading: circular dependency detection | `tests/test_skill_circular_dependency.py` | Skills can import each other; no guard against import cycles |
|
||||
| Trajectory compression: large trace handling | `tests/test_trajectory_compression.py` | 90-iteration loops produce large traces; compression correctness critical |
|
||||
| MCP server: protocol compliance (stdio + SSE) | `tests/test_mcp_server.py` | External clients depend on stable MCP contract |
|
||||

## Security Considerations
|
||||
|
||||
### Threat Model Summary
|
||||
|
||||
| Threat | Mitigation | Status |
|
||||
|--------|-----------|--------|
|
||||
| **Prompt injection via context files** | Scan AGENTS.md, .cursorrules, SOUL.md in `prompt_builder.py` (`_scan_context_content`) | ✅ Implemented |
|
||||
| **Jailbreak / role-play attacks** | `input_sanitizer.py`: 15+ patterns + optional LLM risk scoring | ✅ Implemented |
|
||||
| **Secret exfiltration via tool output** | Redaction in `redact.py` + `terminal_tool` output filtering | ✅ Implemented |
|
||||
| **Credential leakage in logs** | `logging.Filter` removes `*_KEY`, `*_TOKEN`, `*_SECRET` | ✅ Implemented |
|
||||
| **Tool abuse (rm -rf /)** | `terminal_tool` sandboxing via TERMINAL_ENV + path whitelisting | ⚠️ Configurable — local mode has no sandbox |
|
||||
| **SSH credential reuse** | `credential_pool.py` per-host credential isolation | ✅ Implemented |
|
||||
| **Model provider API key exposure** | Keys loaded from `.env` (never logged); `safe_write` wrapper | ✅ Implemented |
|
||||
| **Session hijacking via predictable IDs** | Session IDs are `uuid4`; user/chat IDs hashed to `user_<sha256>` | ✅ Implemented |
|
||||
| **Supply chain (PyPI packages)** | Pinned dependencies in `pyproject.toml` with upper bounds | ✅ Pinned |
|
||||
| **Cron job directory traversal** | Job config paths sanitized; only YAML files loaded from `~/.hermes/cron/jobs/` | ✅ Implemented |
|
||||
| **MCP server code execution** | MCP tools run within same process; client authentication via stdio ownership | ⚠️ Trusted-local only |
|
||||
| **Session fixation (gateway)** | New session created per user+chat hash; parent_session chaining optional but admin-only | ✅ Implemented |
|
||||
|
||||
### Critical Security Findings
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Network-exposed components**:
|
||||
- `server.py` (WebSocket broadcast hub) binds `HOST="0.0.0.0"` by default — not authenticated. Only suitable for LAN/VPN. **Public exposure requires reverse proxy + auth**.
|
||||
- `gateway` long-polling endpoints should be behind nginx with client certificate auth in production.
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Terminal tool in `local` mode**:
|
||||
- Direct host shell access — the most powerful (and dangerous) tool.
|
||||
- No syscall filtering (seccomp) or containerization unless operator explicitly sets `TERMINAL_ENV=docker|modal`.
|
||||
- **Recommendation**: Never enable `terminal` in untrusted sessions; use a restricted toolset.
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Skill loading from arbitrary paths**:
|
||||
- Skills directory configurable via `HERMES_SKILLS_PATH`. Malicious skill can register arbitrary tools.
|
||||
- Skill tool functions execute in main process Python interpreter — no sandbox.
|
||||
- **Mitigation**: Skill manifest (`SKILL.md`) requires explicit `tools:` declaration; `skill_security.py` validates tool safety before import.
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Cost explosion risk**:
|
||||
- `max_iterations=90` × high-cost model (Opus) × long context can exceed $10/turn.
|
||||
- `IterationBudget` and `IterationTracker` exist but are opt-in, not default.
|
||||
- **Recommendation**: Set `max_iterations` per session via config; monitor `insights` weekly.
|
||||
|
||||
5. **State database size growth**:
|
||||
- SQLite `state.db` unbounded; WAL + FTS indexes grow indefinitely.
|
||||
- No archival/rotation policy; old sessions stay forever unless manually vacuumed.
|
||||
- **Recommendation**: Implement monthly `VACUUM` + session TTL (e.g., 90-day expiry).
|
||||
|
||||
### Hardening Checklist (Production)
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] Set `TERMINAL_ENV=docker` for all untrusted agents
|
||||
- [ ] Enable `checkpoint_max_snapshots=10` to bound `~/.hermes/checkpoints/`
|
||||
- [ ] Configure `session_db` with `PRAGMA journal_size_limit=1048576` (1GB WAL cap)
|
||||
- [ ] Install `gateway` behind nginx with basic auth or mTLS
|
||||
- [ ] Enable `input_sanitizer` score threshold block: `score_input_risk() > 0.8 → block`
|
||||
- [ ] Rotate `OPENROUTER_API_KEY` quarterly; use dedicated subaccount keys
|
||||
- [ ] Audit `skills/` directory for `subprocess`/`eval` usage; remove or sandbox

## Deployment
|
||||
|
||||
### Installation
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# From PyPI (recommended)
|
||||
pip install hermes-agent[default,messaging,cron]
|
||||
|
||||
# From source
|
||||
git clone https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent.git
|
||||
cd hermes-agent
|
||||
pip install -e ".[default,messaging,cron]"
|
||||
|
||||
# With optional extras
|
||||
pip install hermes-agent[all]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
Hermes uses environment variables + YAML config:
|
||||
|
||||
**Environment** (`.env` or shell):
|
||||
- `HERMES_HOME` — state directory (`~/.hermes/` default)
|
||||
- `OPENROUTER_API_KEY` — primary LLM routing key
|
||||
- `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`, `GEMINI_API_KEY` — provider-specific
|
||||
- `TERMINAL_ENV` — `local` (default) | `docker` | `modal`
|
||||
- `HERMES_PROFILE` — profile name for multiple agent configs
|
||||
|
||||
**Config file** (`~/.hermes/config.yaml`):
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
provider: openrouter
|
||||
model: anthropic/claude-sonnet-4
|
||||
max_iterations: 60
|
||||
enabled_toolsets: [default, web]
|
||||
skills:
|
||||
dirs:
|
||||
- ~/.hermes/skills
|
||||
- ./skills
|
||||
gateway:
|
||||
telegram:
|
||||
enabled: true
|
||||
token: "${TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN}"

|
||||
|
||||
### Running
|
||||
|
||||
**Interactive TUI** (default):
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
hermes
|
||||
# or: hermes chat
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Single query**:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
hermes -q "Explain quantum entanglement"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Gateway (Telegram example)**:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
hermes gateway install # systemd unit
|
||||
hermes gateway start
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Cron scheduler** (runs automatically if enabled in config):
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
hermes cron status
|
||||
hermes cron list
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**MCP server**:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
python mcp_serve.py --transport stdio
|
||||
# or: python mcp_serve.py --transport sse --port 8081
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Validation
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Smoke test
|
||||
python -m pytest tests/test_smoke.py -v
|
||||
|
||||
# Full test suite (parallel)
|
||||
pytest -n auto tests/
|
||||
|
||||
# State DB health
|
||||
sqlite3 ~/.hermes/state.db "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM sessions;"
|
||||
|
||||
# TUI test (requires pexpect)
|
||||
pytest tests/test_hermes_cli_integration.py -v
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Examples
|
||||
|
||||
### Example 1: Simple Research Query
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
> hermes -q "What are the latest developments in KV cache compression?"
|
||||
|
||||
[Tools: web_search → web_extract × 3]
|
||||
└─ Answer: KV cache compression advances... (cost: $0.04)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Token flow**: ~14K input (query + tool results) → ~2K output.
|
||||
|
||||
### Example 2: File System Investigation
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
> /terminal find ~/repos -name "*.py" -exec wc -l {} + | sort -n | tail -10
|
||||
|
||||
[terminal] Executed in 0.8s
|
||||
/path/to/largest.py: 1243 lines
|
||||
...
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`terminal_tool` detects background process completion and streams output.
|
||||
|
||||
### Example 3: Scheduled Report
|
||||
|
||||
**Cron job** (`~/.hermes/cron/jobs/daily-report.yaml`):
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
schedule: "0 8 * * *"
|
||||
prompt: |
|
||||
Generate a morning report summarizing:
|
||||
- Yesterday's git commits across ~/repos/
|
||||
- Open PRs needing review
|
||||
- Today's calendar events
|
||||
deliver: telegram
|
||||
enabled_toolsets: [web, terminal, file]
|
||||
model: openai/gpt-4.1
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Result**: Every morning at 8 AM, Hermes runs, produces a markdown summary, and posts it to Telegram home channel.
