What models work with Locally Uncensored's Codex agent?

Any via Ollama or cloud (OpenAI/Anthropic). Native for Hermes 3, Qwen, Llama 3/4, etc. XML fallback for the rest—even abliterated wildcards.

How does Hermes XML fallback avoid native tool limits?

Prompt-injects XML tool schemas, parses raw text calls, repairs JSON args. Smart filtering skips irrelevant tools, saving context.

Is Locally Uncensored safe for running shell commands locally?

Yes—Tauri's Rust backend with granular permissions. Gate every tool; no unchecked OS access.
