From 0527113968dc018dc7358d611b243e503d4c6c05 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "K. Isom" Date: Mon, 5 Oct 2026 00:27:30 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Record that Hermes on talos is wired to the robot and passes its MCP test With the owner's authorisation, ~/.hermes/config.yaml and .env on talos gained the robot's MCP server and token (backed up first). `hermes mcp test robot` connects in 789 ms and discovers look(). A real agent turn, which would send a camera image to the hosted model, is left for the owner to approve.
