# reload_helpers Reload all helper entities from configuration. Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `reload_helpers`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/fistacho-ha-nexus-agent/reload-helpers ## Facts - Tool: `reload_helpers` - 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_helpers", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why reload_helpers is rated High Reloading helper entities triggers a system operation that re-processes configuration and restarts entity states. This is an Execute-level action as it runs an operational process with side effects (entity states may change, automations may be affected), but it is not directly destructive or financial. Misuse could cause temporary disruption to smart home automations and helper entities. From the tool's own definition: "Reload all helper entities from configuration" ## Use case AI agents invoke reload_helpers 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_helpers": { "limits": [ { "counter": "reload_helpers_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.
