# NousResearch/hermes-agent · Requiring user confirmation before destructive or uninstall commands

## Open now

- Nothing open on GitHub.

The three members relate to approval or confirmation before risky actions: two concern requiring approval for package-manager uninstalls, and one is a bug report about an agent running a destructive command without user confirmation. The titles don't establish whether the bug report concerns package uninstalls specifically, or what the outcome of any change was.
