Get DSM security settings (session timeout, CSRF protection, IP checking).
AI agents call get_security_settings 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 only queries and retrieves security configuration information from the NAS without modifying, executing, or deleting anything. It has no side effects beyond returning current settings data. While security settings are sensitive, reading them poses minimal risk compared to modifying them. Misuse would only inform an agent about existing security posture, not alter it.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_security_settings' and description 'Get DSM security settings' indicate a retrieval operation with no modification. The settings retrieved (session timeout, CSRF protection, IP checking) are configuration metadata.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get DSM security settings (session timeout, CSRF protection, IP checking). 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_security_settings: 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_security_settings 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_security_settings 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_security_settings. 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_security_settings 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.
