# bulk_control A execute tool on the Ha Nexus Agent MCP server. Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `bulk_control`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/fistacho-ha-nexus-agent/bulk-control ## Facts - Tool: `bulk_control` - Server: Ha Nexus Agent (`fistacho/ha-nexus-agent`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/fistacho-ha-nexus-agent.md - Homepage: https://github.com/Fistacho/ha-nexus-agent - Risk category: Execute (High risk) - Registry record: grade F, identity unverified - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 0 - Recommended policy verdict: Rate-limited ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "bulk_control", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why bulk_control is rated High The tool name 'bulk_control' on a smart home control server strongly implies it executes actions across multiple devices simultaneously. The 'bulk' prefix suggests wide blast radius affecting many devices at once. However, the description is empty, so confidence is reduced. From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'bulk_control' on a server described as providing 'full control of your smart home' with '202 tools across 21 domains'" Risk signals: Bulk/mass operation — affects multiple targets ## Use case AI agents invoke bulk_control to trigger actions in Ha Nexus Agent. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Ha Nexus Agent: ```json { "version": "1", "default": "deny", "tools": { "bulk_control": { "limits": [ { "counter": "bulk_control_rate", "window": "minute", "max": 10, "scope": "grant" } ] } } } ``` ## Other tools on Ha Nexus Agent (275) - `abort_config_flow` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/fistacho-ha-nexus-agent/abort-config-flow.md - `abort_options_flow` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/fistacho-ha-nexus-agent/abort-options-flow.md - `delete_area` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/fistacho-ha-nexus-agent/delete-area.md - `delete_automation` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/fistacho-ha-nexus-agent/delete-automation.md - `delete_backup` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/fistacho-ha-nexus-agent/delete-backup.md - `delete_blueprint` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/fistacho-ha-nexus-agent/delete-blueprint.md - `delete_card` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/fistacho-ha-nexus-agent/delete-card.md - `delete_category` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/fistacho-ha-nexus-agent/delete-category.md - `delete_config_file` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/fistacho-ha-nexus-agent/delete-config-file.md - `delete_css_custom_property` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/fistacho-ha-nexus-agent/delete-css-custom-property.md - `delete_event` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/fistacho-ha-nexus-agent/delete-event.md - `delete_label` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/fistacho-ha-nexus-agent/delete-label.md - `delete_media` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/fistacho-ha-nexus-agent/delete-media.md - `delete_pipeline` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/fistacho-ha-nexus-agent/delete-pipeline.md - `delete_script` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/fistacho-ha-nexus-agent/delete-script.md - `delete_style_preset` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/fistacho-ha-nexus-agent/delete-style-preset.md - `delete_theme` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/fistacho-ha-nexus-agent/delete-theme.md - `delete_zone` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/fistacho-ha-nexus-agent/delete-zone.md - `git_rollback_file` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/fistacho-ha-nexus-agent/git-rollback-file.md - `git_rollback_to_commit` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/fistacho-ha-nexus-agent/git-rollback-to-commit.md - `notify_persistent_dismiss` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/fistacho-ha-nexus-agent/notify-persistent-dismiss.md - `notify_persistent_dismiss_all` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/fistacho-ha-nexus-agent/notify-persistent-dismiss-all.md - `remove_device` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/fistacho-ha-nexus-agent/remove-device.md - `remove_energy_source` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/fistacho-ha-nexus-agent/remove-energy-source.md - `remove_integration` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/fistacho-ha-nexus-agent/remove-integration.md - `remove_item` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/fistacho-ha-nexus-agent/remove-item.md - `restore_backup` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/fistacho-ha-nexus-agent/restore-backup.md - `stop_ha` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/fistacho-ha-nexus-agent/stop-ha.md - `uninstall_addon` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/fistacho-ha-nexus-agent/uninstall-addon.md - `uninstall_hacs_repository` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/fistacho-ha-nexus-agent/uninstall-hacs-repository.md - …and 245 more: https://policylayer.com/tools/fistacho-ha-nexus-agent.md ## For agents This record is a snapshot.
