Hermes Workspace is a web-based control center for Hermes Agent that combines chat, files, memory, skills, jobs, terminal access, and operational views. Hermes Agent users use it to manage sessions and coordinate one or more agents through a single interface.

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.01699 | $0.01699 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00680 | $0.00680 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00340 | $0.00340 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00170 | $0.00170 |
Grade A, and why
hermes-workspace AGENTS.md scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.
- For local Workspace pairing/debugging, treat **one gateway + one dashboard** as canonical: `hermes gateway run` on `:8642` and `hermes dashboard` on `:9119`. Before starting another gateway, verify `curl http://127.0.0 How it starts

Hermes Workspace Agent Contract
This workspace uses semantic Hermes swarm workers, not numbered-only lanes. The source of truth for routing is swarm.yaml; each worker also has a matching profile under ~/.hermes/profiles/<worker-id>/, a role skill <worker-id>-core, and a wrapper in ~/.local/bin/.

What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
