Error Message

Add an exception or flag for auth commands, or allow the agent to run them after a clear user confirmation.

Problem

The agent refuses to run authentication commands (e.g. xurl auth oauth2, xurl auth apps add) when the user provides real API keys/secrets, even when the user explicitly asks for it and is in a tmux session.

This completely blocks the use of tools like xurl that require OAuth setup.

Example

User had valid X API keys and wanted the agent to complete the xurl OAuth flow inside tmux, but the agent declined due to internal rules.

Expected Behavior

The agent should be able to execute auth-related commands when:

  • The user explicitly requests it
  • The user is in an interactive/local session (e.g. tmux)
  • The user pastes the credentials themselves

Proposed Solution

Add an exception or flag for auth commands, or allow the agent to run them after a clear user confirmation.

Environment

  • Hermes Agent
  • xurl integration
  • User running in tmux
