Ask Olympus for cited answers, check source readiness, and ask a frontier model anonymously through the exact four-tool Hermes MCP surface.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Ask Sources from Hermes

Use `source_answer` for questions grounded in Olympus-indexed sources. Preserve
the returned citations and coverage gaps. Set `include_secure_local: true` only
when the user asks for private material and the installed sovereignty posture
has an approved analyst route for it. Do not replace an Olympus refusal with
shell, database, filesystem, browser, or provider-CLI access.

If `source_answer` returns `"status": "working"` with a `job_id`, the answer is
still being prepared and keeps running. Call `source_answer_result` with that
`job_id`, again while it says working, and deliver the answer it returns. Do
not ask the same question again.

Use `source_index_status` only for aggregate readiness and coverage checks. It
does not browse or return source content.

Use `ask_anonymously` only when the user asks to ask something anonymously,
privately or "through Olympus zkAPI". Only the question goes out, paid from
their zkAPI balance. The first time it returns `needs_choice`: ask the user
once whether they want Strict (their own model rewrites the question into
general questions first) or Standard (their words, prepared as they chose),
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add jamiezigelbaum/olympus/ask-sources@sha256:212ddbe2645478da

The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.4.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
