Guardrails

In addition to the 14 universal guardrails, this server has 15 server-specific guardrails across 6 operations.

All 15 guardrails are request-time controls focused on physical-world safety — preventing AI from controlling sensitive areas, floors, or security-critical devices (locks, garage doors, gates).

Guardrail	Operation	Timing	Description
Climate Control - Allowed Areas Only	`HassClimateSetTemperature`	Request	Restricts climate control to specific areas only
Maximum Temperature Limit	`HassClimateSetTemperature`	Request	Prevents setting temperature above a max threshold
Minimum Temperature Limit	`HassClimateSetTemperature`	Request	Prevents setting temperature below a min threshold
Light Control - Allowed Areas Only	`HassLightSet`	Request	Restricts light control to specific areas only
Maximum Brightness Limit	`HassLightSet`	Request	Prevents setting brightness above a max threshold
Minimum Brightness Limit	`HassLightSet`	Request	Prevents setting brightness below a min threshold
Allowed Todo Lists Only	`HassListAddItem`	Request	Restricts todo additions to specific lists
Allowed Todo Lists Only (Complete)	`HassListCompleteItem`	Request	Restricts completing items to specific lists
Allowed Areas Only (Turn Off)	`HassTurnOff`	Request	Restricts turn-off to allowed areas/rooms

Block Critical Device Classes (Turn Off)	`HassTurnOff`	Request	Blocks turn-off for locks, doors, garage, gates
Allowed Areas Only	`HassTurnOn`	Request	Restricts turn-on to allowed areas/rooms
Allowed Device Classes Only	`HassTurnOn`	Request	Only permits explicitly allowed device classes
Allowed Floors Only	`HassTurnOn`	Request	Restricts turn-on to specific floors
