# check_config Validate Home Assistant configuration before restart. Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `check_config`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/fistacho-ha-nexus-agent/check-config ## Facts - Tool: `check_config` - 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: Read (Low risk) - Registry record: grade F, identity unverified - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 0 - Recommended policy verdict: Allowed ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "check_config", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why check_config is rated Low This tool performs configuration validation—a diagnostic check that queries the state of Home Assistant configuration files to detect errors. It has no side effects, does not create, modify, delete, or execute anything. The purpose is to verify configuration integrity before a restart action (which would be separate). This is fundamentally a Read operation with minimal risk. From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'check_config' and description 'Validate Home Assistant configuration before restart' indicate a read-only validation operation that checks configuration state without modifying or executing changes." ## Use case AI agents call check_config to retrieve information from Ha Nexus Agent without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Ha Nexus Agent: ```json { "version": "1", "default": "deny", "tools": { "check_config": {} } } ``` ## 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.
