Moltbot Home Assistant

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This skill openly provides Home Assistant control for an agent, with meaningful safety controls, but users should configure it carefully because smart-home actions can affect the physical world.

Install only if you are comfortable giving an agent Home Assistant control. Use a dedicated Home Assistant token if possible, prefer HA_TOKEN over storing the token in config, keep safety enabled, add sensitive entities to blocked_entities, use allowed_entities to narrow access, and consider safety level 2 or broader critical_domains for scripts, automations, switches, climate, appliances, and scenes that may have safety or security impact.

Missing User Warnings

Finding
The README demonstrates write-capable home automation actions such as turning devices on/off, invoking scenes, and calling arbitrary Home Assistant services, but it does not prominently warn that these can cause physical-world effects beyond the limited 'critical domains' list. In this skill context, users or agents may infer that anything outside locks/alarms/covers is low risk, even though climate, scripts, switches, and scenes can also trigger impactful automations or unsafe device behavior.
