Is it bad that I want to try Hermes but look at the code and see setup.py and no project.toml and it gives me pause?

You should be looking for a pyproject.toml: https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/blob/main/pypro...

And a uv.lock is also there...

I might be a little more paranoid than most because of my profession, but none of these projects inspire enough trust to justify being installed - let alone directly on the machine I use every day.

OpenClaw, at least initially, and Hermes both appear to have been heavily astroturfed using all kinds of blackhat tactics, which is a huge red flag to me.

And then there is the code.

My bad... saw the setup.py and quickly posted.
