Requesty LLM gateway as a Hermes model provider (`--provider requesty`, alias `rq`, or Requesty in `hermes model`). The picker lists Requesty's managed routing policies (curated routes with failover, `@eu` variants for EU-only hosting); any Requesty model id or org policy also works. `/reasoning` maps onto Requesty's `reasoning_effort` for reasoning-capable models, the Hermes session id is sent as `requesty.trace_id`, and context windows and estimated cost come from the Requesty catalog. Prompt caching is done server-side by Requesty.

## Good to know before installing

Chat requests go to https://router.requesty.ai/v1 (or REQUESTY_BASE_URL) through Hermes' own client with REQUESTY_API_KEY, which Hermes reads; the plugin itself only fetches Requesty's public model catalogs (/v1/models/managed and /v1/models, no credentials), once per process, sometimes on a short-lived background thread. No attribution headers, telemetry, file access or processes. Supersedes #27908.

From the plugin's catalog listing.

## How to install

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

```bash
hermes plugins install requesty
```

2. Said no? Turn it on later:

```bash
hermes plugins enable requesty
```

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
