Hermes Exabase Plugin: memory tool for Hermes Agent

What Hermes Exabase Plugin does

Exabase M-1 is described as a self-organising memory engine that stores facts, preferences and events, builds a knowledge graph and resolves contradictions. This plugin adds it as a long-term memory provider for Hermes. Completed conversation turns are sent to Exabase in the background so memories can be inferred, and the agent gets two tools: exabase_search for searching long-term memories and exabase_remember for storing one.

Settings are chosen during hermes memory setup. Base ID scopes memories by project, agent or any other criterion, and without it memories go to the default base. Precision controls how selective retrieval is. Query expansion and result reranking are optional steps that can improve recall and ranking at the cost of speed and Exabase credits. The README also publishes the vendor's own LongMemEval comparison table against other memory systems.
