Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 | $0.00019 | $0.03244 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00008 | $0.01298 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00649 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00324 |
Grade A, and why
airtable 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 1mo 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.
description: Airtable REST API via curl. Records CRUD, filters, upserts. This is a copy
97% identical to airtable — 40 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 230 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Airtable — Bases, Tables & Records
Work with Airtable's REST API directly via curl using the terminal tool. No MCP server, no OAuth flow, no Python SDK — just curl and a personal access token.
Prerequisites
- Create a Personal Access Token (PAT) at https://airtable.com/create/tokens (tokens start with
pat...). - Grant these scopes (minimum):
data.records:read— read rowsdata.records:write— create / update / delete rowsschema.bases:read— list bases and tables
- Important: in the same token UI, add each base you want to access to the token's Access list. PATs are scoped per-base — a valid token on the wrong base returns
403. - Store the token in
${HERMES_HOME:-~/.hermes}/.env(or viahermes setup):AIRTABLE_API_KEY=pat_your_token_here
Note: legacy
key...API keys were deprecated Feb 2024. Only PATs and OAuth tokens work now.
API Basics
- Endpoint:
https://api.airtable.com/v0 - Auth header:
Authorization: Bearer $AIRTABLE_API_KEY - All requests use JSON (
Content-Type: application/jsonfor any POST/PATCH/PUT body). - Object IDs: bases
app..., tablestbl..., recordsrec..., fieldsfld.... IDs never change; names can. Prefer IDs in automations. - Rate limit: 5 requests/sec/base.
429→ back off. Burst on a single base will be throttled.
Base curl pattern:
curl -s "https://api.airtable.com/v0/$BASE_ID/$TABLE?maxRecords=5" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $AIRTABLE_API_KEY" | python3 -m json.tool
-s suppresses curl's progress bar — keep it set for every call so the tool output stays clean for Hermes. Pipe through python3 -m json.tool (always present) or jq (if installed) for readable JSON.

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.

airtable is a skill published in the GitHub repository john-data-chen/hermes-agent-backup (2 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 19 tokens to every session and 3,244 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). It is 97% identical to airtable, differing in 40 lines, and is treated as a copy.
