MCP tools · 12 exposed · ~641 tokens

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →

Tool Tokens
hermes_approve ~50

Ask the MCP client for interactive human confirmation, then consume a prepared approval ID exactly once and submit the unchanged request for execution. This can cause external side effects.

NameTypeReqDescription
approvalIdstringyes

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

hermes_cancel ~29

Idempotently cancel a queued or running asynchronous Hermes job.

NameTypeReqDescription
jobIdstringyes

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

hermes_capabilities ~37

Inspect bridge status, configured presets, skills, toolsets, providers, models, and policy before deciding whether Hermes owns the requested capability.

Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

hermes_job_status ~31

Read lifecycle metadata for an asynchronous Hermes job without returning its output.

NameTypeReqDescription
jobIdstringyes

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

hermes_plan ~61

Ask Hermes to inspect its configured capabilities in plan mode. Hermes may access open-world tools, so review the response before taking or approving an external action.

NameTypeReqDescription
contextFilesarray
presetstring
promptstringyes

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

hermes_prepare ~96

Create a local, non-executing preview and short-lived one-shot approval ID without invoking Hermes or its tools. The caller must show preview.action to the human before approval.

NameTypeReqDescription
jobIdstringyes

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

hermes_run ~123
