## About Bolt Iot with LuumenAI

Connect Bolt IoT and your agent can see what a device is doing before anything changes. Check whether a device is online, read an analog pin, pull incoming serial data. When a pin needs to be switched or a command sent over serial, the agent shows the device, the pin, and the value first, then waits for your approval. Luumen authenticates with an API key.

## Example tools

Read-only (3 in total):

- `BOLT_IOT_ANALOG_READ` — Read the analog value from a specified pin on a Bolt device.
- `BOLT_IOT_CHECK_DEVICE_STATUS` — Check whether a specified Bolt device is online.
- `BOLT_IOT_SERIAL_READ` — Read incoming serial data from a Bolt device.

Write and destructive (3 in total, subject to configured approval policy):

- `BOLT_IOT_DIGITAL_WRITE` — Set a digital pin HIGH or LOW on a specified Bolt device.
- `BOLT_IOT_SERIAL_WRITE` — Send serial data to a Bolt device.
- `BOLT_IOT_SERIAL_WRITE_READ` — Send serial data and read the response on a Bolt device.

## Frequently asked questions

### How does LuumenAI connect to Bolt Iot?

Authorize once with API token. Luumen lists the scopes each action needs before you approve the connection, and credentials never appear in the chat.

### Can LuumenAI change things in Bolt Iot on its own?

For connected tools, admins configure which actions may run automatically and which require approval, within the access granted to the user.

### Is there an audit trail?

Every call to Bolt Iot — read or write, approved or declined — is recorded with the actor, the input, and the result.
