The official TinyFish account announced on October 10, 2026 that TinyFish is now available as a plugin for the Nous Research Hermes Agent. The plugin gives a Hermes agent free Search and Fetch for finding and reading the live web.

What the plugin does
According to the announcement, the plugin covers live-web lookup and reading: Search finds current web information and Fetch reads the page back. The official account describes this Search and Fetch usage as costing $0.
Tasks that need real clicks go through TinyFish Browser and Web Agent. The announcement phrases this as "one approval away," which indicates a user approval step before the agent operates a browser. Details such as the exact approval scope or whether every action needs approval are not specified in the post.
When asked whether the free offering was time-limited, the TinyFish account replied it had "no plans of gating it behind subscription." That is the account's stated position at the time of the announcement, not a guarantee about future pricing.
Who it is useful for
It fits users already running the Hermes Agent who need it to read current web content: documentation published after a model's training cutoff, fast-changing developer docs, or live issues they want reflected in agent work.
Install path
TinyFish gives a two-step install, with these commands as posted on X:
hermes plugins install tinyfish
hermes tinyfish setup
The plugin documentation is linked here:
Version-specific behavior is unverified, so if a command fails, check the documentation page above for the latest instructions first.
Why it is worth noticing, and verified limits
Many tools can attach web search to an agent, but this one ships as a Hermes Agent plugin and advertises free Search and Fetch, which keeps the entry cost low. Separating browser work behind an approval step also makes it easier to handle in practice.
Limits remain. The posts do not state usage caps for free Search and Fetch, nor whether the Browser and Web Agent side carries any charge. The install commands and documentation URL come from X posts and may vary by Hermes version. Confirm limits and supported versions in the plugin docs before adopting it.
