List files and folders in a Synology Drive path. Supports pagination, sorting, and glob filtering.
AI agents call drive_list_files to retrieve information from Synology Office without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and enumerates directory contents without modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a pure read operation with minimal blast radius if misused by an AI agent (worst case: exposure of file paths or metadata). Severity is low because listing files does not create, modify, or delete data and does not trigger external operations.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'drive_list_files' and description 'List files and folders in a Synology Drive path' indicate retrieval/query operations. Supports pagination, sorting, and filtering—all non-destructive read operations with no side effects.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access drive_list_files 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_list_files:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"drive_list_files": {}
}
}drive_list_files is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

List files and folders in a Synology Drive path. Supports pagination, sorting, and glob filtering. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Synology Office MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Synology Office MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for drive_list_files: 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_list_files 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 drive_list_files 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_list_files. 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_list_files 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.
