Agent
Abilities
On this page
Your NOLGIA Agent installs and runs ability packages from a marketplace published by admins. Browse the catalog, inspect an ability, then install and sync the packages you need.
Catalog and installs #
| Method | Path | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| GET | /agent/abilities |
List the abilities installed for the current user's agent. |
| POST | /agent/abilities/{slug} |
Install a published ability for the current user's agent (applied on the next ability sync). Requires the ability's entitlement (min_tier). Optionally pins the install to an exact published version; without a pin the install tracks the latest published version (the default). |
| DELETE | /agent/abilities/{slug} |
Uninstall an ability from the current user's agent. |
| GET | /agent/abilities/events |
Stream ability version publishes for the current user's agent over Server-Sent Events. |
| GET | /abilities |
List published marketplace abilities (metadata only — content is never included in listings). Customers see the public catalog; admin accounts also see private abilities. |
| POST | /abilities |
Publish a new ability version (admin only; upserts the ability by slug, versions are immutable). |
| GET | /abilities/{slug} |
Get a published ability's detail. |
| GET | /abilities/{slug}/content |
Download a published version's package content (base64 tar.gz) — the latest version by default, or the exact version named by version (how a pod materializes a pinned install). Entitlement-gated — the caller's subscription must satisfy the ability's min_tier. |
The ability record #
| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
slug |
string | Yes | Marketplace identity of the ability; also the install directory name under $HERMES_HOME/skills/ (the on-disk install root is unchanged for backward compatibility). |
name |
string | Yes | |
description |
string | Yes | |
required_env |
array of string | Yes | Environment variables the ability expects on the agent pod. |
credit_cost_hint |
string | Yes | Free-text hint of how the ability spends credits. |
min_tier |
string | Yes | Minimum subscription tier required to install or download this ability's content. Empty means free for any account. |
visibility |
AbilityVisibility |
Yes | |
entitled |
boolean | Yes | Whether the calling account may download this ability's content (subscription satisfies min_tier, or admin). Listings are metadata-only; content download is refused (402) when false. |
access |
AbilityAccess |
Yes | |
price_cents |
integer, nullable | No | For premium_addon abilities, the add-on price in cents. null for included abilities. Metadata only — no purchase flow enforces it yet. |
interval |
AbilityInterval, nullable |
No | For premium_addon abilities, the billing interval of price_cents. null for included abilities. |
has_code |
boolean | Yes | True when the package carries a code payload — any file beyond the manifest files (SKILL.md and ability.json). Computed at publish time. Drives the marketplace "Package" vs "Ability" (instructions-only) kind badge. |
latest_version |
string | Yes | Latest published version by SEMVER ordering (highest major.minor.patch wins), not by publish time — a 1.0.1 published after a 1.2.0 does not become latest.… |
created_at |
string | Yes | |
updated_at |
string | Yes |
