THE PROJECT

Plugin patterns for tool budgets, metadata telemetry and typed verification records.

Agent control is easier to reason about when limits and evidence are represented as explicit records. These plugin patterns count tool activity, check the next tool boundary and record verification results. Metadata-focused telemetry can describe behavior without copying full prompt or response content into the log.

  • Tool-budget checks at the next boundary
  • Hash-linked metadata event records
  • Typed verification and PASS gates

Original plugin work for the upstream Hermes agent. Tool limits do not claim to interrupt inference already in progress.

UNDER THE SURFACE

How it fits together.

Plugin hooks observe tool events. The budget controller gates subsequent tool actions, while telemetry and verification records support operator review.
