What the reviewer found

The Hermes agent's own quick-start uses its official installer at hermes-agent.nousresearch.com, so SC2/NET are false; a troubleshooting tip suggesting `sudo loginctl enable-linger $USER` to keep the gateway alive after SSH logout is a real, low-impact sudo use. The `rm -rf` finding only hits documentation describing the tool's own destructive-command approval gate.

How this review was made

Sonnet 5 read the files above on 7 September 2026 and answered three questions: is it dangerous to whoever installs it, is each scanner finding real, and what should the installer know. The verdict is bound to the file's hash; when the file changes, it is scanned afresh and reviewed again. A script that changes while the definition does not is not re-reviewed — that is a known gap. How the scan and the review work.
