Answer Hermes' approval prompts from your phone: once selected with security.approval.transport: ntfy, each dangerous-command prompt arrives as an ntfy push notification with Approve once, Approve for session and Deny buttons, and no answer still means deny.

## Good to know before installing

Once selected, anyone who can read the ntfy topic can approve dangerous commands (the one-time answer codes are in the notification), so on the public ntfy.sh default the topic name is the only secret and NTFY_APPROVAL_TOKEN is optional; each pending approval publishes Hermes' reason, the redacted command (unless send_command is false), the non-default profile name and one-time answer codes to the configured ntfy server, then reads <topic>-reply and deletes the notification; any failure or timeout is a deny; reads NTFY_APPROVAL_TOPIC/NTFY_APPROVAL_TOKEN from the profile .env, never puts the token in a notification, follows no redirects, writes no files and starts no processes.

From the plugin's catalog listing.

## How to install

1. Install it. Hermes asks for any API keys it needs, then asks whether to turn it on.

```bash
hermes plugins install ntfy-approval
```

2. Said no? Turn it on later:

```bash
hermes plugins enable ntfy-approval
```

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
