Search for files across Synology Drive by name or keyword, with optional extension filter.
AI agents call drive_search_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 performs a search operation to locate and list files matching criteria. It has no side effects—it does not create, modify, delete, or execute anything. The action is purely informational retrieval, making it a Read category tool. Severity is low because misuse would only expose existing file listings the agent already has access to, with minimal blast radius.

"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"drive_search_files": {}
}
