Re-running is safe: existing AutoMem credentials are preserved (so switching `--mode` won't reset your endpoint or key), and every changed file keeps a `.bak` copy.
Only `--endpoint` and `--api-key` have environment-variable equivalents on the `hermes` command. The `AUTOMEM_HERMES_MODE`, `AUTOMEM_DRY_RUN`, and `AUTOMEM_YES` variables are read by the [guided installer](/docs/getting-started/quick-start/) (`mcp-automem install`) only — the `hermes` subcommand takes those settings from flags.

Re-running is safe: existing AutoMem credentials are preserved (so switching `--mode` won't reset your endpoint or key), and `config.yaml`, the rules file, and the provider plugin files each keep a `.bak` copy. `$HERMES_HOME/.env` is the exception — AutoMem keys are merged into it in place, with no backup.
