Thanks for submitting the audit report. This automated hermes-sweeper review cannot turn it into an actionable security PR.

• The PR changes only SECURITY_AUDIT.md (commit 51776fbcd26c); it contains no remediation, regression test, or executable reproduction.
• Each reported finding leaves its fix, explanation, and test suggestion blank after stating that LLM output parsing failed (for example, SECURITY_AUDIT.md:43-53).
• Sampled claims do not establish the stated CWEs on current main: hermes_state.py:187-194 defines the FTS trigger names as fixed literals; hermes_cli/runtime_provider.py:1160-1176 documents no-key-required as an SDK placeholder for keyless local servers; and agent/agent_init.py:771-781 uses aws-sdk only for the Bedrock SDK client path.
• The linked 🔒 Security: Fix 10 vulnerabilities in hermes-agent #31867 received maintainer feedback for the same documentation-only audit pattern.

If there is a specific vulnerability, please file it with a minimal reproducer, affected current-main code path, impact, and a proposed/tested remediation. This is an automated hermes-sweeper review.
