No free option, status page or security contact was found, and the plugin's tool definitions weren't readable.\n\n**Hermes Agent.** Card payments always ask first and are refused in unattended sessions, and the messaging gateway denies every sender until an allowlist is set. Shell commands run on the host by default with a model judging risk, and sending mail through the Google Workspace skill is held back only by an instruction to the model.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Boski\n\n1. Use the Boski plugin only to read the owner's saved preferences and constraints. It can't save changes.\n2. Ask the owner to finish Boski's onboarding interview if the plugin says it's incomplete, then retry.\n\n### Hermes Agent\n\n1. Set `approvals.mode: manual` before giving it real accounts. The default `smart` lets an auxiliary model approve commands\n2. Run the gateway with `terminal.backend: docker` or the project's Docker image when it reads mail, web pages or group chats\n3. Set `memory.write_approval: true` and `skills.write_approval: true` to review what it saves about the owner\n4. Leave `approvals.cron_mode` and `approvals.unattended_mode` at `deny` for scheduled and webhook runs\n5. Set `TELEGRAM_ALLOWED_USERS` or the matching allowlist per channel. Never set `GATEWAY_ALLOW_ALL_USERS=true`\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Boski or Hermes Agent?\n\nHermes Agent scores 67.9 (B) on agent readiness against Boski's 26.2 (F), and leads in 6 of 7 scored categories.\n\n### Are Boski and Hermes Agent open source?\n\nNo open-source release is listed for Boski.
