WHAT IT DOES

What update_dashboard_resource does on Ha Nexus Agent

AI agents use update_dashboard_resource 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 update_dashboard_resource is rated Medium

This tool modifies existing dashboard configuration (Lovelace resources) reversibly — the change can be undone by updating again to the original values. It does not delete data (Destructive), does not execute arbitrary code (Execute), and does not move money (Financial). It is Write because it creates or modifies data reversibly.

From the tool's definition Update the URL or type of an existing Lovelace resource — the verb 'update' indicates modification of existing data, and the ability to change URLs or types of dashboard resources could affect the presentation and functionality of the home automation UI.
