Exclusive Details

Cops raced to the Hollywood Hills home of radio host Adam Carolla early this morning -- GUNS DRAWN -- after someone (or something) tripped a panic button in the house ... but TMZ has learned, it was a false alarm.

Adam's alarm company notified the cops of a possible intrusion around 1:15 AM -- and officers responded to the scene in full force, carrying a wide array of weapons ... including an awesome-looking green beanbag shotgun (non-lethal).

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ, police made contact with Carolla at his house -- who assured them everything was okay.

Once officers confirmed the situation was code 4 (all clear), they took off.
