Token Rate Monitor
Live output/input tokens-per-second chip in the Hermes Desktop status bar for a local llama.cpp server. Hermes itself reads the server's log ($HERMES_HOME/logs/llama-server.log, last 200 lines: `tg = X t/s` for output and `prompt eval time ... X tokens per second` for input) and serves it at /api/plugins/token-rate/; the chip polls that route once a second. The counter starts off — click the chip, or run the palette entry "Token Rate: start/stop the tok/s counter" (Ctrl/Cmd+K), to start it; the on/off flag is a file ($HERMES_HOME/cache/token-rate-state.json). It also registers the get_token_rate agent tool, so the model can read its own speed.
Good to know before installing
It reads one local file (the llama.cpp log) and nothing else: no network calls, no external process, no extra port, no API key, no credentials, no telemetry. UI is English by default, Italian when the app locale is Italian.

How to install
- Install it. Hermes asks for any API keys it needs, then asks whether to turn it on.
hermes plugins install token-rate - Said no? Turn it on later:
hermes plugins enable token-rate - 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).
