In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to automate Airtable data entry, synchronize records, query tables, and manage structured application data.
Why use it?
It lets scripts read, create, update, delete, filter, and upsert records without using a separate software library.

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

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.

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

  1. Create a Personal Access Token (PAT) at https://airtable.com/create/tokens (tokens start with pat...).
  2. Grant these scopes (minimum):
    • data.records:read — read rows
    • data.records:write — create / update / delete rows
    • schema.bases:read — list bases and tables
  3. 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.
  4. Store the token in ${HERMES_HOME:-~/.hermes}/.env (or via hermes 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/json for any POST/PATCH/PUT body).
  • Object IDs: bases app..., tables tbl..., records rec..., fields fld.... 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" | python -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 python -m json.tool (always present) or jq (if installed) for readable JSON.

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 NousResearch/hermes-agent (255,268 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 19 tokens to every session and 3,224 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
