hermes-xray is a standalone browser observability lab for a Hermes-style tool-using agent. Enter a prompt and inspect the model-visible path: prompt intake, context construction, loop policy, tool dispatch, verification, and persistence. It is independent from the Agent Runtime walkthrough and does not share that project's repository, portfolio slug, or Interact targets.

The lab shows operational evidence only. It does not expose hidden chain-of-thought, secrets, credentials, or private session fragments.

Interactive lab

Send a simple prompt. Inspect the runtime path.

Turn a plain request into an inspectable Hermes-style agent trace. Use the stage buttons to move from intake through verification without leaving the page.

Prompt: Review the portfolio-site deploy checklist

The trace shows operational evidence: intent, selected tools, file/code landmarks, and verification. It deliberately does not show private reasoning tokens.

01 Prompt intake

    Boundary: this view can show model-visible prompts, loop state, tool calls, token accounting, and observable rationale summaries. It does not expose hidden chain-of-thought or secrets.

    What hermes-xray shows, and what it withholds

    Shown

    Exact user input, model-visible prompt and context summaries with redaction, loop stages and stop reasons, tool names/arguments/results, verification notes, and illustrative token or latency metrics.

    Withheld

    Hidden chain-of-thought, secrets and credentials, private memory or session fragments, fabricated live model output, and any claim that this browser lab is a production Hermes Agent deployment.

    Separate from Agent Runtime: Agent Runtime compares two open-source runtimes side by side. hermes-xray is a different project: an interactive observability console with its own GitHub repo, Vercel app, portfolio card, and demo route.
