Navigate back to the previous page in browser history. Requires browser_navigate to be called first.

Click on an element identified by its ref ID from the snapshot (e.g., '@e5'). The ref IDs are shown in square brackets in the snapshot output. Requires browser_navigate and browser_snapshot to be called first.

The element reference from the snapshot (e.g., '@e5', '@e12')

Close the browser session and release resources. Call this when done with browser tasks to free up Browserbase session quota.

Get browser console output and JavaScript errors from the current page. Returns console.log/warn/error/info messages and uncaught JS exceptions. Use this to detect silent JavaScript errors, failed API calls, and application warnings. Requires browser_navigate to be called first.

If true, clear the message buffers after reading

Get a list of all images on the current page with their URLs and alt text. Useful for finding images to analyze with the vision tool. Requires browser_navigate to be called first.

Navigate to a URL in the browser. Initializes the session and loads the page. Must be called before other browser tools. Use browser tools when you need to interact with a page (click, fill forms, dynamic content).

The URL to navigate to (e.g., 'https://example.com')

Press a keyboard key. Useful for submitting forms (Enter), navigating (Tab), or keyboard shortcuts. Requires browser_navigate to be called first.

Key to press (e.g., 'Enter', 'Tab', 'Escape', 'ArrowDown')

Scroll the page in a direction. Use this to reveal more content that may be below or above the current viewport. Requires browser_navigate to be called first.

Direction to scroll

Get a text-based snapshot of the current page's accessibility tree. Returns interactive elements with ref IDs (like @e1, @e2) for browser_click and browser_type. full=false (default): compact view with interactive elements. full=true: complete page content. Snapshots over 8000 chars are truncated or LLM-summarized. Requires browser_navigate first.

If true, returns complete page content. If false (default), returns compact view with interactive elements only.

Type text into an input field identified by its ref ID. Clears the field first, then types the new text. Requires browser_navigate and browser_snapshot to be called first.

The element reference from the snapshot (e.g., '@e3')

The text to type into the field

Take a screenshot of the current page and analyze it with vision AI. Use this when you need to visually understand what's on the page - especially useful for CAPTCHAs, visual verification challenges, complex layouts, or when the text snapshot doesn't capture important visual information. Returns both the AI analysis and a screenshot_path that you can share with the user by including MEDIA:<screenshot_path> in your response. Requires browser_navigate to be called first.

What you want to know about the page visually. Be specific about what you're looking for.

If true, overlay numbered [N] labels on interactive elements. Each [N] maps to ref @eN for subsequent browser commands. Useful for QA and spatial reasoning about page layout.

clarify

Ask the user a question when you need clarification, feedback, or a decision before proceeding. Supports two modes:

1. **Multiple choice** — provide up to 4 choices. The user picks one or types their own answer via a 5th 'Other' option.
2. **Open-ended** — omit choices entirely. The user types a free-form response.

Use this tool when:
- The task is ambiguous and you need the user to choose an approach
- You want post-task feedback ('How did that work out?')
- You want to offer to save a skill or update memory
- A decision has meaningful trade-offs the user should weigh in on

Do NOT use this tool for simple yes/no confirmation of dangerous commands (the terminal tool handles that). Prefer making a reasonable default choice yourself when the decision is low-stakes.

The question to present to the user.

Choices:
Up to 4 answer choices. Omit this parameter entirely to ask an open-ended question. When provided, the UI automatically appends an 'Other (type your answer)' option.

cronjob

Manage scheduled cron jobs with a single compressed tool.

Use action='create' to schedule a new job from a prompt or one or more skills.
Use action='list' to inspect jobs.
Use action='update', 'pause', 'resume', 'remove', or 'run' to manage an existing job.

Jobs run in a fresh session with no current-chat context, so prompts must be self-contained.
If skill or skills are provided on create, the future cron run loads those skills in order, then follows the prompt as the task instruction.
On update, passing skills=[] clears attached skills.

NOTE: The agent's final response is auto-delivered to the target. Put the primary
user-facing content in the final response. Cron jobs run autonomously with no user
present — they cannot ask questions or request clarification.

Important safety rule: cron-run sessions should not recursively schedule more cron jobs.

One of: create, list, update, pause, resume, remove, run

Required for update/pause/resume/remove/run

For create: the full self-contained prompt. If skill or skills are also provided, this becomes the task instruction paired with those skills.

For create/update: '30m', 'every 2h', '0 9 * * *', or ISO timestamp

Optional human-friendly name

Optional repeat count. Omit for defaults (once for one-shot, forever for recurring).

Delivery target: origin, local, telegram, discord, slack, whatsapp, signal, matrix, mattermost, homeassistant, dingtalk, email, sms, or platform:chat_id or platform:chat_id:thread_id for Telegram topics. Examples: 'origin', 'local', 'telegram', 'telegram:-1001234567890:17585', 'discord:#engineering'

Optional per-job model override used when the cron job runs

Optional per-job provider override used when resolving runtime credentials

Optional per-job base URL override paired with provider/model routing

For list: include paused/completed jobs

Optional single skill name to load before executing the cron prompt

Optional ordered list of skills to load before executing the cron prompt. On update, pass an empty array to clear attached skills.

Optional pause reason

Spawn one or more subagents to work on tasks in isolated contexts. Each subagent gets its own conversation, terminal session, and toolset. Only the final summary is returned -- intermediate tool results never enter your context window.

TWO MODES (one of 'goal' or 'tasks' is required):
1. Single task: provide 'goal' (+ optional context, toolsets)
2. Batch (parallel): provide 'tasks' array with up to 3 items. All run concurrently and results are returned together.

WHEN TO USE delegate_task:
- Reasoning-heavy subtasks (debugging, code review, research synthesis)
- Tasks that would flood your context with intermediate data
- Parallel independent workstreams (research A and B simultaneously)

WHEN NOT TO USE (use these instead):
- Mechanical multi-step work with no reasoning needed -> use execute_code
- Single tool call -> just call the tool directly
- Tasks needing user interaction -> subagents cannot use clarify

IMPORTANT:
- Subagents have NO memory of your conversation. Pass all relevant info (file paths, error messages, constraints) via the 'context' field.
- Subagents CANNOT call: delegate_task, clarify, memory, send_message, execute_code.
- Each subagent gets its own terminal session (separate working directory and state).
- Results are always returned as an array, one entry per task.

What the subagent should accomplish. Be specific and self-contained -- the subagent knows nothing about your conversation history.

Background information the subagent needs: file paths, error messages, project structure, constraints. The more specific you are, the better the subagent performs.

Toolsets to enable for this subagent. Default: inherits your enabled toolsets. Common patterns: ['terminal', 'file'] for code work, ['web'] for research, ['terminal', 'file', 'web'] for full-stack tasks.

Task goal

Task-specific context

Toolsets for this specific task

Batch mode: up to 3 tasks to run in parallel. Each gets its own subagent with isolated context and terminal session. When provided, top-level goal/context/toolsets are ignored.

Max tool-calling turns per subagent (default: 50). Only set lower for simple tasks.

Run a Python script that can call Hermes tools programmatically. Use this when you need 3+ tool calls with processing logic between them, need to filter/reduce large tool outputs before they enter your context, need conditional branching (if X then Y else Z), or need to loop (fetch N pages, process N files, retry on failure).

Use normal tool calls instead when: single tool call with no processing, you need to see the full result and apply complex reasoning, or the task requires interactive user input.

Available via `from hermes_tools import ...`:

  read_file(path: str, offset: int = 1, limit: int = 500) -> dict
    Lines are 1-indexed. Returns {"content": "...", "total_lines": N}
  write_file(path: str, content: str) -> dict
    Always overwrites the entire file.
  search_files(pattern: str, target="content", path=".", file_glob=None, limit=50) -> dict
    target: "content" (search inside files) or "files" (find files by name). Returns {"matches": [...]}
  patch(path: str, old_string: str, new_string: str, replace_all: bool = False) -> dict
    Replaces old_string with new_string in the file.
  terminal(command: str, timeout=None, workdir=None) -> dict
    Foreground only (no background/pty). Returns {"output": "...", "exit_code": N}

Limits: 5-minute timeout, 50KB stdout cap, max 50 tool calls per script. terminal() is foreground-only (no background or pty).

Print your final result to stdout. Use Python stdlib (json, re, math, csv, datetime, collections, etc.) for processing between tool calls.

Also available (no import needed — built into hermes_tools):
  json_parse(text: str) — json.loads with strict=False; use for terminal() output with control chars
  shell_quote(s: str) — shlex.quote(); use when interpolating dynamic strings into shell commands
  retry(fn, max_attempts=3, delay=2) — retry with exponential backoff for transient failures

Python code to execute. Import tools with `from hermes_tools import terminal, ...` and print your final result to stdout.

memory

Save durable information to persistent memory that survives across sessions. Memory is injected into future turns, so keep it compact and focused on facts that will still matter later.

WHEN TO SAVE (do this proactively, don't wait to be asked):
- User corrects you or says 'remember this' / 'don't do that again'
- User shares a preference, habit, or personal detail (name, role, timezone, coding style)
- You discover something about the environment (OS, installed tools, project structure)
- You learn a convention, API quirk, or workflow specific to this user's setup
- You identify a stable fact that will be useful again in future sessions

PRIORITY: User preferences and corrections > environment facts > procedural knowledge. The most valuable memory prevents the user from having to repeat themselves.

Do NOT save task progress, session outcomes, completed-work logs, or temporary TODO state to memory; use session_search to recall those from past transcripts.
If you've discovered a new way to do something, solved a problem that could be necessary later, save it as a skill with the skill tool.

TWO TARGETS:
- 'user': who the user is -- name, role, preferences, communication style, pet peeves
- 'memory': your notes -- environment facts, project conventions, tool quirks, lessons learned

ACTIONS: add (new entry), replace (update existing -- old_text identifies it), remove (delete -- old_text identifies it).

SKIP: trivial/obvious info, things easily re-discovered, raw data dumps, and temporary task state.

The action to perform.

Which memory store: 'memory' for personal notes, 'user' for user profile.

The entry content. Required for 'add' and 'replace'.

Short unique substring identifying the entry to replace or remove.

Route a hard problem through multiple frontier LLMs collaboratively. Makes 5 API calls (4 reference models + 1 aggregator) with maximum reasoning effort — use sparingly for genuinely difficult problems. Best for: complex math, advanced algorithms, multi-step analytical reasoning, problems benefiting from diverse perspectives.

The complex query or problem to solve using multiple AI models. Should be a challenging problem that benefits from diverse perspectives and collaborative reasoning.

patch

Targeted find-and-replace edits in files. Use this instead of sed/awk in terminal. Uses fuzzy matching (9 strategies) so minor whitespace/indentation differences won't break it. Returns a unified diff. Auto-runs syntax checks after editing.

Replace mode (default): find a unique string and replace it.
Patch mode: apply V4A multi-file patches for bulk changes.

Edit mode: 'replace' for targeted find-and-replace, 'patch' for V4A multi-file patches

File path to edit (required for 'replace' mode)

Text to find in the file (required for 'replace' mode). Must be unique in the file unless replace_all=true. Include enough surrounding context to ensure uniqueness.

Replacement text (required for 'replace' mode). Can be empty string to delete the matched text.

Replace all occurrences instead of requiring a unique match (default: false)

V4A format patch content (required for 'patch' mode). Format:
*** Begin Patch
*** Update File: path/to/file
@@ context hint @@
 context line
-removed line
+added line
*** End Patch

process

Manage background processes started with terminal(background=true). Actions: 'list' (show all), 'poll' (check status + new output), 'log' (full output with pagination), 'wait' (block until done or timeout), 'kill' (terminate), 'write' (send raw stdin data without newline), 'submit' (send data + Enter, for answering prompts).

Action to perform on background processes

Process session ID (from terminal background output). Required for all actions except 'list'.

Text to send to process stdin (for 'write' and 'submit' actions)

Max seconds to block for 'wait' action. Returns partial output on timeout.

Line offset for 'log' action (default: last 200 lines)

Max lines to return for 'log' action

Read a text file with line numbers and pagination. Use this instead of cat/head/tail in terminal. Output format: 'LINE_NUM|CONTENT'. Suggests similar filenames if not found. Use offset and limit for large files. NOTE: Cannot read images or binary files — use vision_analyze for images.

Path to the file to read (absolute, relative, or ~/path)

Line number to start reading from (1-indexed, default: 1)

Maximum number of lines to read (default: 500, max: 2000)

Search file contents or find files by name. Use this instead of grep/rg/find/ls in terminal. Ripgrep-backed, faster than shell equivalents.

Content search (target='content'): Regex search inside files. Output modes: full matches with line numbers, file paths only, or match counts.

File search (target='files'): Find files by glob pattern (e.g., '*.py', '*config*'). Also use this instead of ls — results sorted by modification time.

Regex pattern for content search, or glob pattern (e.g., '*.py') for file search

'content' searches inside file contents, 'files' searches for files by name

Directory or file to search in (default: current working directory)

Filter files by pattern in grep mode (e.g., '*.py' to only search Python files)

Maximum number of results to return (default: 50)

Skip first N results for pagination (default: 0)

Output format for grep mode: 'content' shows matching lines with line numbers, 'files_only' lists file paths, 'count' shows match counts per file

Number of context lines before and after each match (grep mode only)

Search your long-term memory of past conversations, or browse recent sessions. This is your recall -- every past session is searchable, and this tool summarizes what happened.

TWO MODES:
1. Recent sessions (no query): Call with no arguments to see what was worked on recently. Returns titles, previews, and timestamps. Zero LLM cost, instant. Start here when the user asks what were we working on or what did we do recently.
2. Keyword search (with query): Search for specific topics across all past sessions. Returns LLM-generated summaries of matching sessions.

USE THIS PROACTIVELY when:
- The user says 'we did this before', 'remember when', 'last time', 'as I mentioned'
- The user asks about a topic you worked on before but don't have in current context
- The user references a project, person, or concept that seems familiar but isn't in memory
- You want to check if you've solved a similar problem before
- The user asks 'what did we do about X?' or 'how did we fix Y?'

Don't hesitate to search when it is actually cross-session -- it's fast and cheap. Better to search and confirm than to guess or ask the user to repeat themselves.

Search syntax: keywords joined with OR for broad recall (elevenlabs OR baseten OR funding), phrases for exact match ("docker networking"), boolean (python NOT java), prefix (deploy*). IMPORTANT: Use OR between keywords for best results — FTS5 defaults to AND which misses sessions that only mention some terms. If a broad OR query returns nothing, try individual keyword searches in parallel. Returns summaries of the top matching sessions.

Search query — keywords, phrases, or boolean expressions to find in past sessions. Omit this parameter entirely to browse recent sessions instead (returns titles, previews, timestamps with no LLM cost).

Optional: only search messages from specific roles (comma-separated). E.g. 'user,assistant' to skip tool outputs.

Max sessions to summarize (default: 3, max: 5).

Manage skills (create, update, delete). Skills are your procedural memory — reusable approaches for recurring task types. New skills go to ~/.hermes/skills/; existing skills can be modified wherever they live.

Actions: create (full SKILL.md + optional category), patch (old_string/new_string — preferred for fixes), edit (full SKILL.md rewrite — major overhauls only), delete, write_file, remove_file.

Create when: complex task succeeded (5+ calls), errors overcome, user-corrected approach worked, non-trivial workflow discovered, or user asks you to remember a procedure.
Update when: instructions stale/wrong, OS-specific failures, missing steps or pitfalls found during use. If you used a skill and hit issues not covered by it, patch it immediately.

After difficult/iterative tasks, offer to save as a skill. Skip for simple one-offs. Confirm with user before creating/deleting.

Good skills: trigger conditions, numbered steps with exact commands, pitfalls section, verification steps. Use skill_view() to see format examples.

create patch edit delete write_file remove_file

The action to perform.

Skill name (lowercase, hyphens/underscores, max 64 chars). Must match an existing skill for patch/edit/delete/write_file/remove_file.

Full SKILL.md content (YAML frontmatter + markdown body). Required for 'create' and 'edit'. For 'edit', read the skill first with skill_view() and provide the complete updated text.

Text to find in the file (required for 'patch'). Must be unique unless replace_all=true. Include enough surrounding context to ensure uniqueness.

Replacement text (required for 'patch'). Can be empty string to delete the matched text.

For 'patch': replace all occurrences instead of requiring a unique match (default: false).

Optional category/domain for organizing the skill (e.g., 'devops', 'data-science', 'mlops'). Creates a subdirectory grouping. Only used with 'create'.

Path to a supporting file within the skill directory. For 'write_file'/'remove_file': required, must be under references/, templates/, scripts/, or assets/. For 'patch': optional, defaults to SKILL.md if omitted.

Content for the file. Required for 'write_file'.

Skills allow for loading information about specific tasks and workflows, as well as scripts and templates. Load a skill's full content or access its linked files (references, templates, scripts). First call returns SKILL.md content plus a 'linked_files' dict showing available references/templates/scripts. To access those, call again with file_path parameter.

The skill name (use skills_list to see available skills)

OPTIONAL: Path to a linked file within the skill (e.g., 'references/api.md', 'templates/config.yaml', 'scripts/validate.py'). Omit to get the main SKILL.md content.

List available skills (name + description). Use skill_view(name) to load full content.

Optional category filter to narrow results

terminal

Execute shell commands on a Linux environment. Filesystem persists between calls.

Do NOT use cat/head/tail to read files — use read_file instead.
Do NOT use grep/rg/find to search — use search_files instead.
Do NOT use ls to list directories — use search_files(target='files') instead.
Do NOT use sed/awk to edit files — use patch instead.
Do NOT use echo/cat heredoc to create files — use write_file instead.
Reserve terminal for: builds, installs, git, processes, scripts, network, package managers, and anything that needs a shell.

Foreground (default): Commands return INSTANTLY when done, even if the timeout is high. Set timeout=300 for long builds/scripts — you'll still get the result in seconds if it's fast. Prefer foreground for everything that finishes.
Background: ONLY for long-running servers, watchers, or processes that never exit. Set background=true to get a session_id, then use process(action="wait") to block until done — it returns instantly on completion, same as foreground. Use process(action="poll") only when you need a progress check without blocking.
Do NOT use background for scripts, builds, or installs — foreground with a generous timeout is always better (fewer tool calls, instant results).
Working directory: Use 'workdir' for per-command cwd.
PTY mode: Set pty=true for interactive CLI tools (Codex, Claude Code, Python REPL).

Do NOT use vim/nano/interactive tools without pty=true — they hang without a pseudo-terminal. Pipe git output to cat if it might page.

The command to execute on the VM

ONLY for servers/watchers that never exit. For scripts, builds, installs — use foreground with timeout instead (it returns instantly when done).

Max seconds to wait (default: 180). Returns INSTANTLY when command finishes — set high for long tasks, you won't wait unnecessarily.

Working directory for this command (absolute path). Defaults to the session working directory.

Seconds between automatic status checks for background processes (gateway/messaging only, minimum 30). When set, I'll proactively report progress.

Run in pseudo-terminal (PTY) mode for interactive CLI tools like Codex, Claude Code, or Python REPL. Only works with local and SSH backends. Default: false.

Convert text to speech audio. Returns a MEDIA: path that the platform delivers as a voice message. On Telegram it plays as a voice bubble, on Discord/WhatsApp as an audio attachment. In CLI mode, saves to ~/voice-memos/. Voice and provider are user-configured, not model-selected.

The text to convert to speech. Keep under 4000 characters.

Optional custom file path to save the audio. Defaults to ~/wizards/ezra/home/cache/audio/<timestamp>.mp3

todo

Manage your task list for the current session. Use for complex tasks with 3+ steps or when the user provides multiple tasks. Call with no parameters to read the current list.

Writing:
- Provide 'todos' array to create/update items
- merge=false (default): replace the entire list with a fresh plan
- merge=true: update existing items by id, add any new ones

Each item: {id: string, content: string, status: pending|in_progress|completed|cancelled}
List order is priority. Only ONE item in_progress at a time.
Mark items completed immediately when done. If something fails, cancel it and add a revised item.

Always returns the full current list.

Task items to write. Omit to read current list.

Unique item identifier

Task description

Current status

true: update existing items by id, add new ones. false (default): replace the entire list.

Analyze images using AI vision. Provides a comprehensive description and answers a specific question about the image content.

Image URL (http/https) or local file path to analyze.

Your specific question or request about the image to resolve. The AI will automatically provide a complete image description AND answer your specific question.

Write content to a file, completely replacing existing content. Use this instead of echo/cat heredoc in terminal. Creates parent directories automatically. OVERWRITES the entire file — use 'patch' for targeted edits.

Path to the file to write (will be created if it doesn't exist, overwritten if it does)

Complete content to write to the file


Hello Ezra!


Hello Ezra


Hello Ezra.


Hello Trip! Looks like you sent a triple greeting there. What can I help you with today?

Explanation: The user is greeting me multiple times - looks like a few messages got concatenated together. Let me respond warmly.


[The user sent a text document: 'conv.txt'. Its content has been included below. The file is also saved at: /root/wizards/ezra/home/cache/documents/doc_b189bbc77aad_conv.txt]


Explanation: The user sent a file called 'conv.txt' but the content appears to be empty or wasn't included. Let me check the file to see what's in it.

That's a long conversation log (11,000+ lines). Let me read through more of it to understand the full picture before commenting.

Explanation:
This is a very long conversation log file. Let me read more to understand what's going on, but first let me assess what I've seen so far.

This is a conversation between Alexander (the user) and Timmy (GPT-5.4 model), where Alexander asked Timmy to investigate what killed his tmux session. Timmy is running on Alexander's Mac (MM.local, macOS ARM64, user apayne).

Key findings so far:
- Machine: MM.local, Darwin/macOS ARM64, user apayne
- Uptime: 14 days since boot on Mar 14

- tmux server started Mar 15, PID 71168
- Current sessions: Alexander, Angband, Create, Local, dev, ops
- A "Kimi" session that was originally created no longer exists
- Shell history shows hundreds of repetitions of a script loop running in the background
- Two clients currently attached to tmux

The file is massive at over 11,000 lines, so I need to read through this more strategically to piece together what Timmy discovered and what actually happened to the tmux session.
