TypeSafe's Jev decision model as Hermes' smart-approval reviewer only: it cannot generate text and refuses every other task. Supports TypeSafe direct, OpenRouter, and configurable Jev-compatible HTTPS endpoints with optional endpoint-specific authentication; validates typed answers and endpoint/redirect boundaries, redacts command credentials, and records bounded structured audit logs.

## Good to know before installing

Each command routed to smart approval (redacted best-effort) and the operator's smart-policy text leave the machine for the configured third-party endpoint; provider or validation failures fail closed to ESCALATE.

From the plugin's catalog listing.

## How to install

1. Install it. Hermes asks for any API keys it needs (this one needs `TYPESAFE_API_KEY`), then asks whether to turn it on.

```bash
hermes plugins install jev-approvals
```

2. Said no? Turn it on later:

```bash
hermes plugins enable jev-approvals
```

3. Restart Hermes so it loads the plugin.

Some plugins also need a sign-in or settings: see the official page. Memory plugins ask whether to become your memory provider instead. Steps follow the official plugins guide: https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/user-guide/features/plugins
