Generate or retrieve a sharing link for a Synology Drive file with configurable permission and optional expiry.
AI agents use drive_get_sharing_link 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.
This tool creates or modifies a sharing link for a file, which is a write operation (generating a new shareable URL with configured permissions). It doesn't delete data, but it does change access controls for a file, which could expose sensitive content if misused. The reversible nature (link can presumably be revoked) keeps it out of Destructive territory.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access drive_get_sharing_link 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_get_sharing_link:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"drive_get_sharing_link": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "drive_get_sharing_link_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}drive_get_sharing_link 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.

Generate or retrieve a sharing link for a Synology Drive file with configurable permission and optional expiry. 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_get_sharing_link: 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_get_sharing_link 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_get_sharing_link 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_get_sharing_link. 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_get_sharing_link 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.
