ActualProfile.fetch_models() overrides ProviderProfile's default implementation with its own Actual-specific base_url resolution (ACTUAL_BASE_URL env var, hosted-vs-local normalization), but called raw urllib.request.urlopen(req, timeout=timeout) directly instead of the base class's open_credentialed_url(). Every other provider either uses the base class default or forwards to it via super() and gets SafeCredentialRedirectHandler for free — Actual is the only provider that attaches a Bearer token to its own Request object and opens it with the stdlib's default redirect handling, which forwards every header, including Authorization, across a cross-origin redirect. Actual's own feature surface makes the trigger realistic: ACTUAL_BASE_URL is a first-class, documented way to point this provider at a self-hosted or local-offline endpoint (see the local-loopback no-auth path already handled elsewhere in this provider), so a misconfigured or compromised endpoint 302-ing to another host leaks ACTUAL_API_KEY to it. Fix: import and call the same open_credentialed_url() the base class uses, keeping Actual's own URL-resolution logic unchanged. Adds an end-to-end regression test using two real local HTTP servers (no mocking of the security module itself) — one redirects, the other records the Authorization header it receives — mirroring test_urllib_security.py's own redirect tests. Also repoints the existing fetch_models test's mock from urllib.request.urlopen to hermes_cli.urllib_security.open_credentialed_url, since fetch_models no longer calls the former. Mutation-verified: the new redirect test fails on pre-fix code with the Authorization header observed at the redirect target.
Model Provider Plugins
Each subdirectory is a self-contained provider profile plugin. The
directory layout mirrors plugins/platforms/:
plugins/model-providers/
├── openrouter/
│ ├── __init__.py # registers the ProviderProfile
│ └── plugin.yaml # manifest: name, kind, version, description
├── anthropic/
│ ├── __init__.py
│ └── plugin.yaml
└── ...
How discovery works
providers/__init__.py._discover_providers() scans this directory (and
$HERMES_HOME/plugins/model-providers/) the first time anything calls
get_provider_profile() or list_providers(). Each __init__.py is
imported and expected to call providers.register_provider(profile).
User plugins at $HERMES_HOME/plugins/model-providers/<name>/ override
bundled plugins of the same name — last-writer-wins in
register_provider(). Drop a file there to replace a built-in.
Adding a new provider
-
Create
plugins/model-providers/<your_provider>/__init__.py:from providers import register_provider from providers.base import ProviderProfile my_provider = ProviderProfile( name="your-provider", aliases=("alias1", "alias2"), display_name="Your Provider", description="One-line description shown in the setup picker", signup_url="https://your-provider.example.com/keys", env_vars=("YOUR_PROVIDER_API_KEY", "YOUR_PROVIDER_BASE_URL"), base_url="https://api.your-provider.example.com/v1", default_aux_model="your-cheap-model", ) register_provider(my_provider) -
Create
plugins/model-providers/<your_provider>/plugin.yaml:name: your-provider-profile kind: model-provider version: 1.0.0 description: Short sentence about the provider author: Your Name
Nothing else needs to change. auth.py, config.py, models.py,
doctor.py, model_metadata.py, runtime_provider.py, and the
chat_completions transport all auto-wire from the registry.
Non-trivial profiles
Override the ProviderProfile hooks in a subclass for per-provider
quirks — see plugins/model-providers/openrouter/__init__.py for
build_extra_body and build_api_kwargs_extras examples, and
plugins/model-providers/gemini/__init__.py for thinking_config
translation.
