Remember something
You ask: Remember that my dentist is Dr. Rao.
Hermes’ persistent memory outlives the task.
What AgentsFence does
Section titled “What AgentsFence does”- Memory writes are local writes. The LLM compiler authorizes them because you asked (“Remember …”); the rules compiler asks.
- Scheduling a recurring job (
cronjob) is execution, even in this task. A job the agent schedules would run later with its own prompt, so it always needs your authority.
