Get storage pools with RAID type, status and data-scrubbing state.
AI agents call get_storage_pools 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 system information about storage pool configurations without making any changes, executing code, or affecting data. It is a read-only query operation that returns status metadata about RAID arrays and scrubbing state. The blast radius of misuse is minimal — an adversary gains visibility into NAS storage architecture but cannot damage or modify systems.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'get_storage_pools' and description states 'Get storage pools with RAID type, status and data-scrubbing state' — purely informational retrieval with no modification or destructive capabilities.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get storage pools with RAID type, status and data-scrubbing state. 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_storage_pools: 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_storage_pools 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_storage_pools 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_storage_pools. 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_storage_pools 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.
