hermes-plugin-pushary 0.4.1

Pushary push notifications plugin for Hermes Agent

Pushary Plugin for Hermes Agent

Push notifications and human-in-the-loop for Hermes Agent via Pushary.

Install

pip install hermes-plugin-pushary

Or manually (directory install — plugin.yaml and skills/ ship inside the package):

cp -r pushary_plugin ~/.hermes/plugins/pushary
hermes plugins enable pushary

Note: Hermes runs in its own virtualenv, so pip install must target that interpreter (e.g. ~/.hermes/hermes-agent/venv/bin/python -m pip install hermes-plugin-pushary). hermes plugins enable currently only recognizes directory/bundled plugins, not pip-installed ones. If you installed via pip, enable it by adding the plugin to ~/.hermes/config.yaml directly instead:

plugins:
  enabled:
    - pushary

Setup

Set your API key:

export PUSHARY_API_KEY="pk_xxx.sk_xxx"

Get a key at pushary.com/sign-up.

Tools

Tool	Description
pushary_notify	Send a push notification with optional rich context
pushary_ask	Ask a question via push (yes/no, multiple choice, or free text)
pushary_wait	Wait for the user's answer
pushary_cancel	Cancel a pending question

Auto-Notifications

The plugin automatically sends push notifications when tools return errors (up to 3 per session).

Set PUSHARY_AUTO_NOTIFY_SESSION_END=1 to also get notified when a session ends.

Set PUSHARY_AGENT_NAME to identify this Hermes instance in notifications (e.g., "Hermes - daily-briefing").

Permission Gating (approve from your lock screen)

Gate dangerous tools behind a yes/no push approval — Hermes pauses on a pre_tool_call hook, pushes the request to your phone, and only runs the tool if you approve.

export PUSHARY_GATE_TOOLS="terminal,write_file,delete_file"   # comma-separated tool names
export PUSHARY_GATE_TIMEOUT_MS=55000                          # optional, max 55000

Behaviour for a gated tool:

Outcome	Result
You approve	Tool runs
You deny	Tool is blocked, the agent is told why
No answer before timeout	Tool is blocked (fail-closed — you were asked)
Pushary unreachable / no API key	Tool runs (fail-open — never bricks on our outage)

Gating is off unless PUSHARY_GATE_TOOLS is set. The Pushary tools themselves are never gated.
