CLAIM 14 / Hermes Agent

Cost/token analytics (ecosystem: hermes-workspace)

not as labeled

Observed

Retroactive SQLite token counting only — no budgets, no alerts. `delegate_task` subagent costs are reported as never flushed to the database (one documented measurement: $15.57 actual vs $3.37 recorded, 79% undercount) — but no primary GitHub issue URL has been located as of 2026-07-09 (search for delegate_task billing/state.db returned unrelated open issues only).

  1. UPDATE 2026-06-28: v0.17.0 adds delegate_task(background=true) but subagent billing persistence is still unfixed per prior measurement.
  2. UPDATE 2026-07-09: still no primary-source issue for the 79% undercount; claim retained as not_as_labeled on the "analytics exist and are trustworthy" marketing implication, with the undercount sub-claim flagged as secondary-only.
