Mordred

Privacy for Hermes Agent

Your agent. Your rules.

Mordred sits under the agent and blocks what you didn't allow.

Rules run at the code level, not in the prompt — so the agent can't talk its way around them.

Hermes Agent

Mordred checks every request

Blocked
Encrypted
Stays local
Hermes Agent sends every request through Mordred, which checks it before allowing, encrypting, or keeping it local — blocked requests are stopped, sensitive traffic is encrypted, and local data stays on your device.

We never…

A privacy tool is defined by what it refuses.

Strict mode, in practice
hermes
mode strict provider api.unknown-llm.io evidence none
refused — no key, no request.

No fallback, no warning banner you can click past. The request simply never leaves your machine.

  • Trust an unknown provider

    Strict mode refuses when it can't verify.

  • Write protected memory unencrypted

    Memory refuses instead of leaking.

  • Send encrypted chats as plaintext

    Chats with encryption enabled stay encrypted on Slack and Discord.

  • Let tools use the internet unasked

    By default, internet use beyond web search asks first.

  • Collect your usage data

    Nothing is sent to us. Ever.
