Overview

From the repository's own README, as read at the audited commit.

# Generic Codex action`codex-run` executes caller instructions verbatim on Ubuntu with Codex CLI`0.153.4`. The caller owns the task, capabilities, expected output and publication.The action owns its OAuth credential isolation, process lifetime and diagnostics.It does not interpret repository roles or implement a maintainer trust list.## Invocation and capabilitiesSupply exactly one of `instructions` or `instructions-file`, plus `codex-auth`(the raw `auth.json` stored in `CODEX_AUTH`). Paths may be workspace-relative orabsolute, but `working-directory`, `instructions-file` and `output-schema` mustresolve inside `GITHUB_WORKSPACE`.| Input | Default | Meaning ||---|---|---|| `sandbox` | `read-only` | `read-only` or `workspace-write`; credential paths stay denied in both modes. || `allow-shell` | `true` | Whether the model can execute commands. Use `false` for pre-collected untrusted reports. || `network-access` | `false` | Outbound network for model commands; `true` allows direct network access without a domain allowlist. It does not govern the Codex client's connection to OpenAI. || `passthrough-env` | empty | Exact environment variable names, one per line, explicitly granted to commands. No wildcards; unset names and the action's reserved `CODEX*` names are rejected. || `timeout-minutes` | `10` | Codex process limit, starting after setup. The caller must also cap the whole action step. || `model` / `reasoning-effort` | empty | Optional explicit model and reasoning settings. || `output-schema` | empty | Optional final-response JSON Schema; response usefulness and presence remain caller requirements. || `codex-version` | `0.153.4` | Exact CLI version, required for reproducible permission behavior. |Commands inherit the small `core` environment. Explicit grants are added through`shell_environment_policy.set`, so a selected `GH_TOKEN` is actually availablerather than discarded by the core environment filter. Values are JSON/TOMLquoted into a private profile under the den

Questions

What is the Home Assistant AI MCP server?

The Unofficial and Awesome Home Assistant MCP Server

What tools does Home Assistant AI expose?

36 in total: 32 read-only, 4 that write, and 0 that can delete or overwrite. Every one is listed on this page with its risk.

Is Home Assistant AI safe to connect to an agent?

No — not without reading the findings first. The audit graded it F (26/100) and found 5 critical or high issues in the source. Each one is listed on this page with the file and line it is on.

What credentials does Home Assistant AI need?

It reads GEMINI_API_KEY, GH_TOKEN, GITHUB_TOKEN, HAOS_BUILD_PASSWORD, HAOS_TEST_SSHPASS_BIN, HAOS_TEST_SSH_PASSWORD, HA_DEMO_TOKEN, HA_MCP_EXTRA_YAML_KEYS, HOMEASSISTANT_TOKEN, HORIZON_API_KEY, MCP_SECRET_PATH and MCP_SETTINGS_SECRET_PATH from the environment. Give it a token scoped to the least it needs — an agent that can be talked into calling a tool can be talked into calling it with your credentials.

How does Home Assistant AI run?

It speaks sse, stdio and streamable-http, so it runs as a local process your client starts. It is published on npm as ha-mcp-renovate-test-harness at 0.0.0.

How current is this page?

The grade is for one exact copy of the source (0bd23d656526), read on 2026-09-18. The repository is watched and re-audited when it changes.
