## Good to know before installing

Prompts, tool schemas, tool results and conversation context are sent to openpaths.io with your OPENPATHS_API_KEY and forwarded to the upstream model vendors it routes to; the plugin makes no other network calls and registers no tools or hooks.

From the plugin's catalog listing.

## How to install

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

```bash
hermes plugins install openpaths
```

2. Said no? Turn it on later:

```bash
hermes plugins enable openpaths
```

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
