Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

openhermit-admin 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 4d 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.

OpenHermit Usage Guide

Use this guide when explaining OpenHermit itself.

What OpenHermit Is

OpenHermit is a TypeScript multi-agent platform with:

  • gateway-managed agents
  • PostgreSQL internal state through Drizzle stores
  • CLI, admin UI, and end-user web app
  • Telegram, Discord, and Slack channel adapters
  • cron/once schedules
  • prompt-based skills
  • MCP server tool integrations
  • Docker, host, and E2B exec backends

The gateway manages agent lifecycle, auth, APIs, WebSocket/SSE transport, built-in channels, schedules, skills, and MCP assignments.

Setup

npm install -g openhermit
hermit setup
hermit gateway start
hermit agents create main
hermit agents start main
hermit chat --agent main

hermit setup configures .env, can start local PostgreSQL through Docker Compose, applies Drizzle SQL migrations, and writes OPENHERMIT_TOKEN from the admin token for CLI use.

Environment

Variable Description
DATABASE_URL PostgreSQL connection string
DATABASE_URL_TEST Test database URL
GATEWAY_ADMIN_TOKEN Admin bearer token
GATEWAY_JWT_SECRET JWT signing secret
OPENHERMIT_TOKEN CLI token, usually the admin token
OPENHERMIT_GATEWAY_URL Gateway URL, default http://127.0.0.1:4000
OPENHERMIT_AGENT_ID Default agent ID, default main
OPENHERMIT_WEB_PORT End-user web app port, default 4310

CLI

Area Commands
Setup hermit setup
Gateway hermit gateway start, stop, run, status
Agents hermit agents list, create, start, stop, restart, delete
Chat hermit chat, hermit chat --agent <id>, --resume, --session <id>
Config hermit config show, get, set
Secrets hermit config secrets list, set, remove
Instructions hermit instructions list, get, set, append, remove — single-agent (--agent <id>) or admin fan-out (--all)
Skills hermit skills list, assignments, scan, register, delete, enable, disable
MCP hermit mcp list, assignments, enable, disable
Schedules hermit schedules list, create, pause, resume, delete, runs
Ops hermit status, hermit stats, hermit doctor, hermit logs

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.
