YOLO Mode via False Config Setting

YOLO Mode via False Config Setting | Generated by AI

Home 2026.05

Current status:

YOLO flag (–yolo): Not passed this session
HERMES_YOLO_MODE env var: Not set
approvals.mode in config.yaml: false

The approvals.mode is set to false, which is not one of the valid values (manual, smart, off). Since false is falsy, it’s likely being treated as “off” — meaning approval prompts are bypassed, effectively YOLO mode.

To be explicit, you could set it to a recognized value:

hermes config set approvals.mode off      # explicit YOLO
hermes config set approvals.mode manual   # always prompt (default)
hermes config set approvals.mode smart    # LLM decides

So yes — you’re effectively in YOLO mode right now.
