Retrieve label details from Home Assistant. List all labels or get a specific label's configuration by ID.

Instructions

Get label info - list all labels or get a specific one by ID.

Without a label_id: Lists all Home Assistant labels with their configurations. With a label_id: Returns configuration for that specific label.

LABEL PROPERTIES:

  • ID (label_id), Name

  • Color (optional), Icon (optional), Description (optional)

EXAMPLES:

  • List all labels: ha_config_get_label()

  • Get specific label: ha_config_get_label("my_label_id")

Use ha_config_set_label() to create or update labels. Use ha_set_entity(labels=["label1", "label2"]) to assign labels to entities.

Tool Definition Quality

A5/5.0
Behavior5/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations already provide readOnlyHint and idempotentHint, but description adds value by listing label properties and explaining dual behavior (list vs fetch). No contradiction.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Well-structured with sections, examples. Every sentence adds essential information without fluff.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given low complexity, full schema coverage, and presence of output schema, description is complete with usage, alternatives, and examples.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters5/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100%, but description adds meaning: omitting label_id lists all, providing it fetches specific. Also lists returned properties.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

Description clearly states it gets label info, lists all labels or a specific one by ID. Differentiates from sibling tools like ha_config_set_label and ha_set_entity.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines5/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Explicitly states when to use with or without label_id, provides examples, and mentions alternative tools for create/update and assigning labels.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
