When asking an agent to change device software, have it present a proposed list first and wait for your approval. Keep a written record of anything removed or disabled so you can restore it later if needed.

Try it yourself with Hermes Agent

I want to clean up the software on my Android TV at [IP address], with ADB debugging turned on. First inspect the device and suggest which factory-installed apps are reasonable to disable or uninstall on my [brand and model]. Stop and ask for my approval before making any changes. After I confirm, apply only those changes, then check that the TV starts and operates normally, and provide a full change log for rollback.

Fill in the [brackets]. Agents can make mistakes, so review anything before it is sent, paid or deleted.
