Financial instrument data
with Hermes Agent.
Drop Financial Instrument Data into Hermes Agent as a single resolution skill. Pass any identifier — ISIN, CUSIP, FIGI, or ticker — and Hermes returns the complete security-master record: every cross-mapped identifier, asset-class and sector classifications, and corporate-actions history. Per-flow budget caps respected. Billed per call, no feed license.
Real Hermes flows that rely on this skill.
Each pattern below is a single Hermes Agent flow with Financial Instrument Data registered as one skill. The flow only spends when it resolves a result.
Resolve every identifier mismatch in a counterparty file.
A Hermes reconciliation flow processes an incoming counterparty file, calls Financial Instrument Data for each unmatched position identifier, and writes the resolved cross-map back to the record — all within a single flow run. Counterparty ISINs resolve to internal CUSIPs, FIGI references resolve to tickers, and the file is clean before the next workflow step.
Enrich any unknown security the moment it arrives.
A Hermes OMS or PMS flow triggers when an unknown instrument hits the system, calls the skill to return the full identifier set, asset-class classification, and sector tags, and writes the enriched record back before the instrument enters any routing or display logic. No overnight batch job, no manual lookup.
Check any holding for pending events at the point of decision.
A Hermes portfolio or operations flow triggers at decision time — before a trade, before a report, before a client display update — and calls Financial Instrument Data to pull the corporate-actions record for each relevant holding. Pending splits, mergers, dividends, and name changes surface in the flow before they can affect a downstream calculation.
Validate and classify any instrument on the fly.
A Hermes compliance or order-routing flow calls the skill to confirm that an identifier is real and active, then tags the instrument with asset class and regulatory classification before the order proceeds. One skill call replaces a lookup against a standing classification subscription and a separate validation step.
Complete security record out, inside every Hermes flow.
Register one skill and your Hermes Agent flow resolves any instrument identifier to a complete security-master record on demand. Idle flows cost zero. That's the entire deal.

Hermes Agent specific questions.
If something below doesn't cover your case, ping us — we work directly with Hermes Agent builders, no sales process.
How does this register as a Hermes Agent skill?
+
It's a single POST endpoint with a typed body. You register it in Hermes the same way you'd register any HTTP skill — endpoint, schema, price-per-call. Hermes Agent uses the price to plan flow budgets and to show what each instrument resolution will cost before the skill fires.
Can Hermes Agent resolve a batch of instruments in one flow run?
+
Yes. A Hermes flow can iterate over a list of identifiers, call the skill per instrument, accumulate resolved records, and pass the enriched batch downstream — all within a single flow execution and a single budget cap.
Does Hermes Agent need a long-lived login to call the skill?
+
No. The skill is billed per call with no long-lived credentials to manage, leak in flow logs, or rotate.
What happens when a Hermes flow hits its budget cap mid-batch?
+
The API returns resolved records for instruments matched so far and stops. Hermes treats this as a normal skill result so the flow can decide whether to request more budget, process the partial batch, or queue the remainder for a follow-up run.
Can Hermes call this skill in real time, not just in scheduled batch flows?
+
Yes. The skill responds in under a second, so a Hermes flow triggered by a trade event, an incoming message, or an OMS webhook can resolve an identifier in real time — one call per instrument, billed per resolved result.
How is this different from giving Hermes access to a full reference-data feed?
+
A feed subscription doesn't fit Hermes Agent's skill model — the skill can't report a true per-call cost, so Hermes can't do real budget planning against it. Financial Instrument Data reports an honest per-call cost up front, which is what Hermes was designed to consume.
