# 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.

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

This Hermes adaptation intentionally has no search, locator, sync, watch,
export, or mutation tool. If the two declared tools are unavailable, say that
the Olympus MCP lane is unavailable and stop.
