Module 6 of the Hermes Agent Masterclass: a model without tools is just a chatbot. Here's the full tool catalog, MCP servers, and how to build your own tool — safely.

Module 6 opens up the tool layer in Hermes Agent: what a tool actually is (a function the model asks Hermes to run — function, schema, registry), the tool-calling loop and why a failing tool should return a clean error shape instead of crashing the turn, and the built-in catalog of ~70 tools across 30 tool sets (core, composite, safe, platform, and dynamic). The real theme is trust: how to scope what the agent can reach and sandbox where it runs, using per-session tool sets, the read-only "safe" set, and local/Docker/SSH backends. Then MCP — consuming external capability with zero core code: I add the Blender MCP server live and have Hermes build a 3D tower from a prompt (it even labeled it "Hermes Tower" on its own), cover STDIO vs HTTP transports, include/exclude tool filtering, and the two safety layers that matter (OAuth 2.1 instead of copied tokens, and malware package-scanning before any npx/uvx launch). Finally I flip it around — exposing Hermes itself as an MCP server into VS Code — and build a custom native tool from scratch: a stock-price tool backed by Finnhub, registered so the agent calls it automatically. Next module: Cron and automation.
