Hermes Agent is an AI assistant that learns from its use by creating and improving skills, retaining knowledge, searching past conversations, and adapting to its users. It is for people who want to run an agent through a terminal or messaging platforms while connecting it to different AI models and scheduled tasks.
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 | $0.00014 | $0.02440 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00007 | $0.01220 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00003 | $0.00488 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00001 | $0.00244 |
Grade A, and why
box scanned grade A with 0 findings 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 yesterday.
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.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 118 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Box
Use Box as the cloud file system for file operations, collaboration, metadata, and document work. Run operations with Hermes' terminal tool and use the Box CLI; use the SDK guide when building an application.
When to Use
- Organizing, uploading, versioning, moving, sharing, or collaborating on Box files and folders
- Searching Box content or existing metadata
- Asking questions about Box files, extracting metadata, or generating text grounded in a file
- Processing a Box folder at scale without downloading every source file
- Building a Box-backed application, integration, or webhook handler
Start broad file-system conversations
When someone is exploring a cloud file system for Hermes, first give a short fit assessment: Box is useful when a team needs cloud file storage, sharing, search, metadata, and document work. Then ask whether they want to connect a Box account with OAuth or build a Box-backed application or integration with an SDK.
OAuth makes Hermes act as the Box account authorized in the browser. That account's Box permissions determine what Hermes can access. To give Hermes narrower access, authorize an account that is invited only to the required files, folders, or Hubs.
Do not run setup, show a command cookbook, propose account plans or folder taxonomies, or load every reference for a broad exploratory question. Wait for the user's answer, then load only the relevant path. When a request already names a concrete outcome, skip this discovery step and handle that outcome directly.
Start normal CLI work with the official Box CLI OAuth app. It covers ordinary content work and Box AI. Use a custom User Authentication (OAuth 2.0) Platform App only when the requested operation needs an additional OAuth scope, such as webhook management. This remains an OAuth flow; do not substitute a server-side or impersonation identity.
Perform chosen setup interactively
When a user selects an authentication path or asks Hermes to connect Box, perform the setup through terminal; do not turn the next response into instructions for the user to copy. Take the next safe action yourself, and pause only for an approval, browser sign-in, administrator action, or secret that Hermes cannot safely supply.

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.

box is a skill published in the GitHub repository NousResearch/hermes-agent (241,505 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 14 tokens to every session and 2,440 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
