Overview
Common questions about Hermes Shield, the private beta, and what is actually proven today.
Is Hermes Shield available today?
Private beta in progress. No download, installer, daemon or CI hook yet — this site registers interest for the private beta.
What is proven today?
Hermes Shield has independently reviewed proof of protection for ten real Hermes live-action paths, and its discovery engine has mapped over a thousand action surfaces across the customer-zero repo — with more being discovered as it runs.
Does it make my agent fully safe?
No tool can promise that. Current proof coverage is bounded to the tested threat model. Residual risk is documented.
Does my data leave my machine?
Hermes Shield is local-first by design: controls, approvals and the audit trail run where your agents run. It does not depend on a remote service being reachable.
How is this different from a prompt filter?
Prompt filters inspect text going into the model. Hermes Shield controls the action side: what the system is about to do — send, post, write, call — is verified at the moment of execution, so a compromised model becomes a contained failure instead of a live incident.
What agents or frameworks does it apply to?
The action-control model applies to any agent that can act — browse, email, post, approve, schedule, write files, trigger APIs. The private beta is where we review specific stacks with you; tell us what you run when you register.
