What get_pipeline does on Ha Nexus Agent
AI agents call get_pipeline 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.
Why get_pipeline is rated Low
This tool retrieves pipeline configuration or state data from Home Assistant without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any actions. It is a straightforward read operation analogous to fetching a resource. Even though Home Assistant controls smart home devices, this specific tool only queries pipeline metadata/configuration, not triggering any device actions.
From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states 'Get a single pipeline' — a retrieval operation with no modification or side effects. The 'get' verb and lack of any mutation language (create, update, delete) confirm this is a data query.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs get_pipeline 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 get_pipeline, this is the rule to start with:
get_pipeline is read-only, so it stays allowed. 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 get_pipeline call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about get_pipeline
Get a single pipeline by id, or the preferred pipeline if id is omitted. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Ha Nexus Agent MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Ha Nexus Agent MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_pipeline: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Ha Nexus Agent. Nothing to install.
get_pipeline is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_pipeline rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for get_pipeline. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
get_pipeline is provided by the Ha Nexus Agent MCP server (fistacho/ha-nexus-agent). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
