What create_theme does on Ha Nexus Agent
AI agents use create_theme to create or update resources in Ha Nexus Agent, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Ha Nexus Agent environment.
Why create_theme is rated Medium
This tool creates a theme configuration, which is a reversible modification to Home Assistant state. It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data, or move money. The blast radius is medium because a malicious theme could potentially affect the visual presentation across the entire smart home interface, but the underlying functional integrity of controlled devices remains intact.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_theme' indicates creation of a new theme resource for Home Assistant. The sibling tools on this server (activate_scene, add_card_to_view, add_custom_repository, add_item) confirm this server performs configuration and state modifications.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs create_theme safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Ha Nexus Agent, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For create_theme, this is the rule to start with:
create_theme stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Ha Nexus Agent, apply this rule, and every create_theme call is checked against it from then on.
