What the reviewer found
Documentation for the Nous Research Mente/Hermes autonomous-agent framework; the flagged 'curl | bash' is its own installer from the NousResearch repo and 'rm -rf' appears in its destructive-command approval docs. It is a powerful agent with a documented '--yolo' approval-skip mode, so know it can run with full system access.

How this review was made
Fable 5.1 read the files above on 7 September 2026 and answered three questions: is it dangerous to whoever installs it, is each scanner finding real, and what should the installer know. The verdict is bound to the file's hash; when the file changes, it is scanned afresh and reviewed again. A script that changes while the definition does not is not re-reviewed — that is a known gap. How the scan and the review work.
