| 1 | # Hermes Tools Configuration |
| 2 | |
| 3 | > **Tentaflake context:** This skill describes Hermes' tool/toolset |
| 4 | > configuration — it works the same inside tentaflake agent containers. |
| 5 | > Toolset selection, output limits, and backend choices can be set |
| 6 | > declaratively via the `settings` attrset in `my-agents.nix`. |
| 7 | > See `my-agents.nix.example` for the `toolsets`, `tool_output`, |
| 8 | > `web.backend`, and `terminal.backend` options. |
| 9 | |
| 10 | ## When to Use |
| 11 | |
| 12 | - Enable/disable specific tools per platform |
| 13 | - Configure tool backends (web, browser, TTS, image gen) |
| 14 | - Set tool output truncation limits |
| 15 | - Configure file read safety limits |
| 16 | - Disable toolsets globally |
| 17 | - Set up browser backends |
| 18 | - Configure code execution environment |
| 19 | - Manage terminal backend |
| 20 | |
| 21 | ## Procedure |
| 22 | |
| 23 | ### 1. Tool vs Toolset Distinction |
| 24 | |
| 25 | **Tool**: Individual function (e.g., `web_search`, `terminal`, `read_file`, `memory`). |
| 26 | **Toolset**: Group of related tools (e.g., `web`, `terminal`, `file`, `memory`, `browser`). |
| 27 | |
| 28 | Hermes ships ~70+ tools across ~28 toolsets. |
| 29 | |
| 30 | ### 2. hermes tools Command |

| 80 | ### 4. Per-Platform Tool Configuration |
| 81 | |
| 82 | Tools can be enabled/disabled per platform: |
| 83 | |
| 84 | ```yaml |
| 85 | # In ~/.hermes/config.yaml (written by hermes tools) |
| 86 | platform_toolsets: |
| 87 | telegram: |
| 88 | enabled: [terminal, web, file, skills, memory] |
| 89 | discord: |
| 90 | enabled: [terminal, web, file, skills] |
| 91 | ``` |
| 92 | |
| 93 | Or disable globally: |
| 94 | |
| 95 | ```yaml |
| 96 | agent: |
| 97 | disabled_toolsets: |
| 98 | - memory # Hide memory tools everywhere |
| 99 | - web # No web_search/web_extract anywhere |
| 100 | ``` |
| 101 | |
| 102 | This applies **after** per-platform config. Use for "turn X off everywhere." |
| 103 | |
| 104 | ### 5. Tool Output Truncation Limits |
| 105 | |
| 106 | ```yaml |
| 107 | tool_output: |
| 108 | max_bytes: 50000 # Terminal output cap (chars) — keeps first 40%, last 60% |
| 109 | max_lines: 2000 # read_file pagination cap |
| 110 | max_line_length: 2000 # Per-line cap in read_file view |
| 111 | ``` |
| 112 | |
| 113 | When terminal output exceeds `max_bytes`, truncation inserts |
