Tools & Capabilities Breakdown

Palveron Governance Gateway Tools (3)

palveron_check

Check a tool call against governance policies before execution. Returns the decision (`PASSED`, `BLOCKED`, `MODIFIED`/`REDACTED`/`ANONYMIZED` with the sanitized input, `PENDING_APPROVAL`, …), whether the call may proceed, findings, and the audit trace ID.

palveron_status

Governance status and diagnostics — gateway connectivity, circuit-breaker state, configured local lists.

palveron_policy_list

List the project's active policies so the host can explain its decisions.

Hermes Action Bridge Tools (5)

hermes_run

delegate a request to Hermes. Optional overrides: `mode`, `preset`, `contextFiles`, `yolo`, `dryRun`, and — to trade cost for speed on simple tasks — `model`, `provider`, `maxTurns`, `timeoutSeconds`. Any effective `execute` request opens an interactive confirmation form first.
