Hermes Plugin Evaluation

Use this when the user asks about installing, trusting, pricing, or using a third-party Hermes Agent plugin or integration.

Goal

Give a practical go/no-go read before touching the live Hermes gateway. Separate:

• Plugin code cost/license — whether the repository itself is public/open-source/free to install.
• Service cost — required SaaS account, usage billing, phone/SMS/voice costs, model API costs, tunnels, hosted routing, or paid feature gates.
• Operational risk — what data leaves Hermes, whether the plugin opens public webhooks/tunnels, and whether it modifies gateway behavior.
