WHAT IT DOES

What seafile_upload_file does on Seafile MCP Server

AI agents use seafile_upload_file to create or update resources in Seafile MCP Server, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Seafile MCP Server environment.

RISK

Why seafile_upload_file is rated Medium

Upload operations create or modify files in storage systems, which is a Write action. Severity is high because: (1) an AI agent with credential access could upload malicious files, overwrite legitimate files, or consume storage quota; (2) uploaded files may affect other users or system operations; (3) the impact depends on where files are written and what permissions exist.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'seafile_upload_file' indicates file upload functionality. Combined with sibling tools that include delete, move, and copy operations, this tool creates or modifies data in Seafile cloud storage.

seafile_upload_file Rate-limited

seafile_upload_file stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
