Hermetiq Release Notes

The Hermetiq AI Plugin helps AI assistants analyze Bazel build performance with real build data from Hermetiq.

• Added invocation insight support for curated recommendations on what to change in a single build invocation.
• Added profile trend support for cross-build Bazel JSON trace profile analysis.
• Expanded bottleneck classification across process, analysis, queue, fetch, upload, output download, cache check, and client resource categories.
• Updated slow-build playbooks and intent routing so invocation insights and profile trends are easier to invoke from AI workflows.
• Added a self-hosted MCP URL override through HERMETIQ_MCP_URL, so customers running Hermetiq in their own infrastructure can point the plugin at their deployment without editing plugin configuration.

This update aligned the Hermetiq skill with recent Hermetiq MCP server updates.

• Refined build and invocation workflows in the Hermetiq skill guide.
• Improved analytics guidance for build targets and failures.
• Updated tool and prompt guidance for current MCP usage.
• Corrected reference fields to match the current gRPC proto.

Hermetiq published a Go protobuf compiler extension that generates MCP servers from gRPC or ConnectRPC APIs.

• Generates MCP handlers from protobuf service definitions.
• Produces JSON Schema for method inputs from protobuf descriptors.
• Supports wiring generated MCP handlers to gRPC or ConnectRPC servers and clients.
• Includes runtime LLM provider selection for standard MCP and provider-compatible schemas.
• Includes support for extra tool properties that can be written into request context.

Hermetiq now offers a self-hosted option for customers that need to run build intelligence in their own cloud environment.

• Self-hosted deployments can run in customer-controlled infrastructure across AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud.
• Customers can connect Hermetiq MCP integrations to their own deployment endpoint.
• This option supports organizations with stricter data residency, network, security, or procurement requirements.

Hermetiq is working toward SOC 2 compliance to support enterprise security and trust requirements.

• Current work includes documenting security and privacy controls, operational procedures, and compliance evidence.
• Hermetiq is continuing to formalize customer-facing trust practices as the product and deployment options mature.
