System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

Hermes gateway port 8642 is WebSocket-based only — NOT a REST API. Do NOT try to send WeChat/Weixin alerts via curl HTTP POST to the gateway. Understanding this prevents wasted time debugging "404 on all endpoints" when trying to send alerts from cron jobs.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Clarifies that the Hermes gateway on port 8642 is WebSocket-based and not accessible via HTTP REST.
  • Describes the correct delivery paths for alerts (WebSocket in the gateway or using the send_message tool in an active agent session).
  • Provides practical use cases such as cron-triggered WeChat alerts and agent-assisted message delivery, plus fallback alert storage.

Quick Start

Use the scheduler to deliver WeChat alerts through the gateway WebSocket path instead of HTTP POST.
