Security

Hermes Agent sends an API key in the Authorization header. Use an expiring key made for Hermes Agent and keep it in an environment variable.
Account and organization owners can make API keys and assistants read-only, so they can read your data but never change it or start scans.
Starting a credit-spending Deep Scan always needs an estimate and your explicit confirmation.
DNSai data comes from public DNS and web records. Your watchlists, notes and tags stay private to your account and are only shared with an AI tool you connect yourself.

Connect Hermes Agent to DNSai

The API and AI connectors are included with DNSai Enterprise plans. Every member of your organization shares one set of limits, and every call counts from the first one.
