# find_orphan_devices List devices that have no entities associated (orphans in device registry). Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `find_orphan_devices`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/fistacho-ha-nexus-agent/find-orphan-devices ## Facts - Tool: `find_orphan_devices` - 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": "find_orphan_devices", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why find_orphan_devices is rated Low This tool queries the device registry to identify orphaned devices but performs no modifications, deletions, or state changes. It is purely informational and poses minimal security risk if misused by an agent, as it only returns data about device relationships without ability to alter system state. From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'find_orphan_devices' and description 'List devices that have no entities associated' indicate a query/retrieval operation with no side effects. The verb 'List' and 'find' are characteristic of Read operations." ## Use case AI agents call find_orphan_devices 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": { "find_orphan_devices": {} } } ``` ## 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.
