What hermoso_credits does on Hermoso
AI agents call hermoso_credits to retrieve information from Hermoso without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why hermoso_credits is rated Low
Even though hermoso_credits only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs: an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.

hermoso_credits is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
