Agent firewall blocked by Hermes Agent over a shell command in a docstring
Teknium · x · 2026-11-15
Teknium welcomed a developer to the Hermes Agent ecosystem by quoting their funny war story: the dev built a firewall to protect AI agents, only for Hermes Agent to block the firewall itself — because a shell command appeared inside a docstring. A one-line fix got things back on track.
The takeaway: we've reached the point where security tools need protection from security tools. A cautionary tale about overly aggressive guardrails in coding agents.
