List Surveillance Station cameras with model, IP and status.
AI agents call list_cameras 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 performs a read-only operation that retrieves information about connected surveillance cameras. It does not create, modify, delete, execute commands, or commit financial transactions. The worst-case misuse would be information disclosure about camera inventory and network configuration, which constitutes low severity. The API clearly indicates it lists/retrieves data only.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_cameras' and description 'List Surveillance Station cameras with model, IP and status' indicate a retrieval operation that queries camera configuration and status without modification or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List Surveillance Station cameras with model, IP and status. 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 list_cameras: 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.
list_cameras 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 list_cameras 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 list_cameras. 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.
list_cameras 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.
