WHAT IT DOES

What set_input_boolean does on Ha Nexus Agent

AI agents use set_input_boolean 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.

RISK

Why set_input_boolean is rated Medium

This tool modifies data (boolean state) reversibly. A user or agent could set it back to a different value. While it could trigger automation rules or scenes that cause side effects (lights turning on/off, locks engaging), the tool itself is a state modification, not execution of those effects. It is Write rather than Execute because it changes data rather than triggering arbitrary operations.

From the tool's definition Tool description: 'Set input_boolean to true or false.' The verb 'Set' indicates modification of state; input_boolean is a Home Assistant entity that stores boolean values, and changing it affects home automation logic and conditions.

set_input_boolean Rate-limited

set_input_boolean 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.
