SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Installing a third-party Hermes Agent plugin without due diligence can expose you to hidden SaaS costs, unclear licensing, unexpected data leaving your gateway, and risky public webhooks. This Skill gives you a structured go/no-go evaluation before anything touches your live Hermes setup. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Repository inspection without installation: Reviews README, plugin.yaml, manifests, lockfiles, LICENSE, and webhook/tunnel code to assess a plugin safely. - Cost and licensing analysis: Separates plugin code cost from required service costs such as phone/SMS/voice billing, hosted tunnels, and model API usage, treating missing pricing pages as unknown rather than free. - Data flow and risk reporting: Identifies required credentials, external data paths, and public webhook exposure, then recommends a safe rollout in a non-critical profile. - Use Case: Before installing a community SMS plugin, use this Skill to determine that the repo is public but the underlying carrier service bills per message, and that inbound texts route through vendor infrastructure. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to evaluate whether a specific third-party Hermes plugin is free, safe, and worth installing before adding it to your gateway.

FAQPage Schema
How do I evaluate a Hermes Agent plugin before installing it?

Inspect the plugin repository without installing it: review the README, plugin.yaml, dependency manifests, LICENSE, and any webhook or tunnel code. Then assess service costs, required credentials, and data flow before enabling it on your gateway.

Is a public Hermes plugin repository free to use?

A public repository only means the plugin code is accessible, not that the underlying service is free. Many plugins are glue to paid platforms with SMS, voice, API, or hosting costs, so verify the vendor's pricing separately.

What does it mean if a plugin has no LICENSE file?

A missing LICENSE file means the licensing terms are unclear, even if the repository is publicly visible on GitHub. Treat usage rights as unknown and confirm with the author before relying on the plugin.

Why are hosted tunnels and webhooks a risk in Hermes plugins?

Hosted tunnels and public webhooks imply that messages or calls pass through external vendor infrastructure, meaning data leaves your Hermes gateway. Flag this exposure and confirm the data path before enabling public channels.

How should I safely roll out a new Hermes plugin?

Test the plugin in a non-critical Hermes profile or with the gateway disabled first. Run any plugin-specific doctor or diagnostics, confirm pricing and credentials, and only then enable it on your main gateway.
