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

siyuan 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 5d 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.

SiYuan Note API

Use the SiYuan kernel API via curl to search, read, create, update, and delete blocks and documents in a self-hosted knowledge base. No extra tools needed -- just curl and an API token.

Prerequisites

  1. Install and run SiYuan (desktop or Docker)
  2. Get your API token: Settings > About > API token
  3. Store it in ${HERMES_HOME:-~/.hermes}/.env:
    SIYUAN_TOKEN=your_token_here
    SIYUAN_URL=http://127.0.0.1:6806
    
    SIYUAN_URL defaults to http://127.0.0.1:6806 if not set.

API Basics

All SiYuan API calls are POST with JSON body. Every request follows this pattern:

curl -s -X POST "${SIYUAN_URL:-http://127.0.0.1:6806}/api/..." \
  -H "Authorization: Token $SIYUAN_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"param": "value"}'

Responses are JSON with this structure:

{"code": 0, "msg": "", "data": { ... }}

code: 0 means success. Any other value is an error -- check msg for details.

ID format: SiYuan IDs look like 20210808180117-6v0mkxr (14-digit timestamp + 7 alphanumeric chars).

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.
