Get the enabled state and key settings of SMB, AFP, NFS and FTP file services.
AI agents call get_file_services to retrieve information from Synology MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries the current status and configuration of file services on the NAS. It retrieves data only—it does not modify services, execute commands, delete data, or move money. The action is informational with no side effects. Severity is low because exposing file service configuration state poses minimal risk compared to tools that could modify or execute operations.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_file_services' and description 'Get the enabled state and key settings of SMB, AFP, NFS and FTP file services' indicate read-only retrieval of configuration state without modification.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get the enabled state and key settings of SMB, AFP, NFS and FTP file services. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Synology MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Synology MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_file_services: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Synology MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_file_services is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_file_services rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for get_file_services. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
get_file_services is provided by the Synology MCP Server MCP server (rafalr100/synology-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
