Create a new folder in Synology Drive, optionally creating parent directories.
AI agents use drive_create_folder to create or update resources in Synology Office — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Synology Office environment.
Creating a folder is a non-destructive write operation that modifies the file system state but can be undone by deletion. It does not execute code, delete data irreversibly, or move money. The blast radius is low since folder creation alone does not compromise data integrity or access control without additional operations.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'drive_create_folder' and description 'Create a new folder in Synology Drive, optionally creating parent directories' indicate folder creation, a reversible write operation.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access drive_create_folder gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Synology Office, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for drive_create_folder:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"drive_create_folder": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "drive_create_folder_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}drive_create_folder stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Create a new folder in Synology Drive, optionally creating parent directories. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Synology Office MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Synology Office MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for drive_create_folder: 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 Office. Nothing to install.
drive_create_folder is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the drive_create_folder 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 drive_create_folder. 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.
drive_create_folder is provided by the Synology Office MCP server (vocweb/synology-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Synology Office, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
Free to start. No card required.
