MCP Spend Limits Land in Hermes 0.22.4/0.22.5
MCP servers can now declare tool costs. Set a per-chat spend cap; calls that would exceed it prompt for approval even on trust-full mode. Approval UI shows the cost. Part of the broader plugin and cost-control wave.
Why it matters
Directly useful for anyone running paid MCP tools (Meshy, image gen, external APIs). Prevents runaway spend without forcing constant manual oversight.
