Hermai Cli — independently scanned and version-tracked by SaferSkills.
SaferSkills independently audited Hermai Cli (Agent Skill) and scored it 82/100 (green). The audit ran 55 deterministic rules across Security, Supply Chain, Maintenance, Transparency, and Community; it found 2 high-severity and 0 lower-severity findings. The full rule-by-rule trace and per-finding evidence are below. Free, methodology-open.

A fenced bash/python block in SKILL.md carries a natural-language imperative — "now run this", "execute the following command" — directing the agent to execute the fenced content. What looks like documentation becomes an executable payload the agent may run without ever asking you.

Discover, contribute, and call structured website APIs from your terminal.
hermai is the open-source CLI for the Hermai registry — a community catalog of website API schemas for AI agents. Probe a site to document its endpoints, push the schema to the catalog, or pull an existing schema and call it — including authenticated writes with per-request signing.

hermai updateRunning in Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or another agent? Install the Hermai skill so the agent knows how to use this CLI:
npx skills add hermai-ai/hermai-skills --skill hermaiOne skill covers both audiences. When a user asks for data from a site, the agent pulls the schema and calls it. When a user wants to add a new site, the skill's contributor references (loaded on demand via progressive disclosure) walk the agent through discovery, schema authoring, and push.

# Pull a schema (API key required, GitHub sign-in at hermai.ai/dashboard)
hermai registry login
hermai registry pull x.com --intent "drafting a post from my agent"
# Read endpoints: call them directly with curl / fetch / any HTTP client.
# Authenticated writes: `hermai action` handles sessions + signing for you.
hermai action x.com CreateDraftTweet --arg text="drafted by hermai"hermai action loads the schema, resolves the user's session (cookies from disk, or pulled from an installed browser on first run), runs any schema-declared bootstrap JS to compute per-session state, runs any per-request signer JS, fires via a Chrome-TLS fingerprinted HTTP client, and rotates Set-Cookie back on 2xx responses. Works against sites that require per-request signing (X's x-client-transaction-id, TikTok's X-Bogus) without opening a browser.
Useful flags:

hermai session import <site> # import cookies from your current browserMost interesting APIs are gated behind cookies. To capture a write flow (add-to-cart, save-draft, submit-review) without logging in a second time, combine headful intercept with session injection:
# 1. Pull cookies from the browser you're already signed in with
hermai session import example.com
# 2. Open a visible Chrome, pre-loaded with those cookies, and capture what you click
hermai intercept https://example.com/product/123 \
--headful --session example.com \
--timeout 120s --wait 100s --ndjson > capture.ndjson
# 3. Grep/jq the captured JSON for the XHR of interest
grep -F 'CreateOrder' capture.ndjson | jq '.request.body'The request body goes straight into your schema's body_template with {{var}} placeholders for user-varying fields. Capture, don't guess — inventing body fields is the #1 cause of rejected write schemas.
hermai introspect takes --header name=value (repeatable) for auth-gated GraphQL endpoints like Shopify Storefront or Estée Lauder's Stardust.
When a schema requires login (post a tweet, add to cart, RSVP), you can use the session you already have in Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, or Brave — no need to log in again:
hermai session import x.com
# Reads cookies scoped to x.com from your installed browsers,
# saves them to ~/.hermai/sessions/x.com/cookies.jsonThe first run surfaces an OS-level authorization prompt (macOS Keychain, Windows DPAPI, Linux libsecret) — Hermai can't read your cookies without your explicit consent at the OS level. Reads are always scoped to the single domain you name; we never touch cookies for other sites.
Use --dry-run to see the cookie names without writing values to disk:
hermai session import x.com --dry-runhermai catalog <url> # summarize cached endpoints for a URL
hermai schema <url> # show the cached schema JSON
hermai cache list # list cached domains
hermai init # create ~/.hermai/config.yaml
hermai doctor # verify your setuphermai --help for the full command list.
