Get basic system information about the Homey instance. Includes location, address, language, units, connection status, and counts of devices, zones, and flows.
AI agents call get_system_info to retrieve information from HomeyPro MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs information retrieval only. It queries system metadata about the Homey instance (location, settings, status, inventory counts) without creating, modifying, executing, or deleting anything. The blast radius of misuse is minimal since an AI agent gaining access can only read non-sensitive configuration and status data.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_system_info' and description indicates it retrieves 'basic system information' including location, address, language, units, connection status, and counts—all read-only queries with no modification or execution capability.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access get_system_info gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and HomeyPro MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for get_system_info:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"get_system_info": {}
}
}get_system_info is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Get basic system information about the Homey instance. Includes location, address, language, units, connection status, and counts of devices, zones, and flows. It is categorised as a Read tool in the HomeyPro MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the HomeyPro MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_system_info: 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 HomeyPro MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_system_info 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_system_info 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_system_info. 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_system_info is provided by the HomeyPro MCP Server MCP server (pigmej/python-homey-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from HomeyPro MCP Server, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
Free to start. No card required.
