Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| ask_hermesA | Delegate a task or question to the remote Hermes Agent. Hermes runs a full agent loop with tool calling, so responses typically take 30 seconds to 5 minutes depending on complexity. Progress updates are streamed back while Hermes works. Use this tool whenever you need Hermes to:
Args: prompt: The task instruction or question for Hermes. Be specific about what you want it to do. session_id: Optional session identifier. Pass the same value across related calls to let Hermes maintain conversational context (e.g. "draft an email" → "now send it"). |
| hermes_healthA | Check if the remote Hermes Agent is reachable and healthy. Returns the gateway health status including version information. |
