Official release (Nov 5) delivers the full Desktop workspace as a browser Webapp, plugins that auto-update themselves, spend limits and price tags on paid MCP tools (even in YOLO mode), pluggable subagent delegation, and a catalog that grew past 1,050 entries with a new Verified tier. The Hermes Marketplace unifies plugins, skills, and 54+ hosted connectors (Slack, Notion, Linear, etc.) into one browsable storefront with one-click install.

Why it matters

Turns Hermes from a capable agent into a rapidly extensible platform. Builders can now discover, install, and keep tools current without hunting GitHub. Spend controls and the Webapp lower operational friction.

Spend Limits and Price Tags for Paid Tools

Paid MCP tools (3D generation, media, etc.) can declare per-call cost. Approval prompts show the call price plus the conversation total. Hermes still asks before exceeding a chat-level limit, even in YOLO mode. Cron/unattended runs simply refuse over-limit calls. Configurable in config.yaml or via plugin packages.
