# reload_automations Reload all automations from YAML. Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `reload_automations`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/fistacho-ha-nexus-agent/reload-automations ## Facts - Tool: `reload_automations` - 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": "reload_automations", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why reload_automations is rated High This tool triggers a reload/execution of automation configurations from YAML files, causing the Home Assistant automation engine to re-parse and re-apply all automation rules. It is not a simple read and not purely destructive, but it does trigger an external operation (reloading live smart home automations) whose effects depend on the current YAML content. From the tool's own definition: "Reload all automations from YAML" ## Use case AI agents invoke reload_automations 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": { "reload_automations": { "limits": [ { "counter": "reload_automations_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.
