Get real-time CPU usage, memory usage and network throughput.
AI agents call get_resource_usage 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 retrieves monitoring metrics about system resources. It queries existing state (CPU, memory, network stats) without creating, modifying, deleting, executing code, or triggering side effects. This is a pure read operation with minimal security risk—the worst outcome is information disclosure about the NAS's operational status.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_resource_usage' and description 'Get real-time CPU usage, memory usage and network throughput' indicate data retrieval only with no modification, creation, deletion, or execution of external operations.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get real-time CPU usage, memory usage and network throughput. 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_resource_usage: 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_resource_usage 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_resource_usage 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_resource_usage. 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_resource_usage 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.
