How it works

Company work

Work with the agent in company Slack

When: You want the agent in a Slack or Discord channel without the gateway seeing what you write
Mordred: Encrypts messages in the channels you choose; you read and write them with the browser extension
Result: Those channels never carry readable text

Company work

Draft customer replies

When: Tickets with names and addresses must only go to a provider you approved
Mordred: With blocking on, stops requests to endpoints you have not approved; it does not hide the content itself
Result: Personal data does not reach an AI you did not approve

How it works

Company work

Keep agent memory encrypted on macOS

When: You worry secrets pile up in agent memory as plaintext
Mordred: Encrypts memory with a device-bound key, preferring the Secure Enclave

Get help reading production logs

When: Logs with IP addresses and tokens must not reach unexpected endpoints

llm_guardnetwork

How it works

keyvault

How it works

Server admin

Send model calls only through a VPN

When: Model calls must not leave over a direct connection
Mordred: With blocking on, stops any call it cannot confirm is going through the VPN
Result: Calls do not quietly fall back to a direct connection

network

How it works

Server admin

Check ops skills before install

When: You want to add third-party automation to a server
Mordred: Checks a skill's declared network and key requirements when you install it with hermes-mordred install
Result: Skills that fail the check are stopped before they install

Keep personal questions on a private AI

When: You don't want questions about health, money or family sent to whichever AI is configured
