HermesX

What HermesX does

HermesX targets platform and product teams that need to run agents as production infrastructure, where every agent turn, tool call, workflow step and tenant boundary is controlled, audited and recoverable. It combines an agent runtime, a multi-tenant control plane, an embedded WebUI and fixed SOP workflows. Tenants, roles, API keys, quotas, usage records, audit logs and GDPR actions are first-class objects, with database-level isolation through PostgreSQL row-level security and an ExecutionReceipt record for tool calls.

Workflows persist definitions, immutable versions, runs, step state, retries and human approval tasks. The README says HermesX is not a local standalone assistant and supports only SaaS deployment through Docker or Kubernetes. Its release table shows a current docs and API baseline of v2.4.0-dev, with v2.3.0 as the latest released baseline. A comparison table in the README sets it against Dify, CrewAI and LangGraph.

How it fits with Hermes Agent

The repository is tagged hermes-agent, but the opening part of the README does not describe how it relates to Nous Research's Hermes Agent, so treat it as a related platform project.

How to install HermesX

These commands are copied from the project's README. Check the repository for the latest steps before you run them.

git clone https://github.com/Colin4k1024/hermesx.git
