Hermes Pii
Uses local Presidio and spaCy to redact supported PII in outgoing user text.
Good to know before installing
Filters Chat Completions user messages and Responses user input locally; system prompts, tool outputs and tool-call arguments are preserved. Fail-open: detector errors, including a missing model, send original text. Install spaCy en_core_web_sm 3.8.0 separately from its GitHub release wheel in the Hermes Python environment before enabling; Hermes installs only the named PyPI dependencies. No runtime model downloads or remote detection.

How to install
- Install it. Hermes asks for any API keys it needs, then asks whether to turn it on.
hermes plugins install hermes-pii - Said no? Turn it on later:
hermes plugins enable hermes-pii - Restart Hermes so it loads the plugin.
Some plugins also need a sign-in or settings: see Full setup & settings. Memory plugins ask whether to become your memory provider instead. Steps follow the official plugins guide (opens in a new tab).
