Autom for Hermes Agent
Live Google Search results for the built-in web_search tool, through the Autom SERP API.
Install
hermes plugins install autom
Hermes asks for AUTOM_API_KEY during the install. Create a key in the Autom dashboard.
Then select it in hermes tools, or in ~/.hermes/config.yaml:
web:
search_backend: autom
It is search only, so keep an extract backend for web_extract.
Settings
| Setting | Default | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| country | us | 2-letter country code the Google results come from. |
| language | (Google's default) | Interface language, for example en or fr. |
What it does on your machine
- Network: calls
https://api.autom.devonly, with yourAUTOM_API_KEY. Calls can use credits on your Autom account (pricing). - Credentials: reads the key only through Hermes's secret scope. It stores nothing.
- Nothing else: no files written, no processes started, no telemetry, no self-update. Standard library only, no dependencies.
Development
python -m pytest
The tests mock the network and run without Hermes installed.
