NousResearch publishes a detailed security policy for Hermes Agent. It is unusually clear about what the project treats as load-bearing and what it does not. If you operate Hermes in the cloud, read it first; this post is the operator-friendly companion, not a replacement.

NVIDIA OpenShell. Per-session sandboxes with declarative policy across filesystem, network L7 egress, process/syscall layers, and inference routing. Credentials live in a Provider store and never touch the sandbox filesystem.

node9-proxy
The Execution Security Layer for the Agentic Era. Providing deterministic "Sudo" governance and audit logs for autonomous AI agents.
If you want the in-process gate to be sharper, you can layer one on. This is where Node9 fits in a Hermes deployment: an AST-based policy engine that parses shell commands the way the OS does (not the way regex does), so obfuscated payloads (echo "Y3VybCAuLi4="| base64 -d | bash) collapse into their actual execution graph before the approval decision is made. It also runs a per-call inspection layer that catches credentials in outbound arguments, anomalously large payloads, and force-push patterns that simple denylists miss. The AST-parsing approach is covered in detail in Why Regex Is Not Enough.
