How to control fold_block ↓

AI agents use fold_block to create or update resources in SiYuan MCP Server — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your SiYuan MCP Server environment.

Medium Risk

Folding a block in a note-taking app is a UI/display state change that collapses a block visually. This is a reversible write operation (it can be unfolded), affecting display state rather than content. Severity is low as it only changes the visual presentation of a block.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'fold_block' and description '折叠块' (fold block)

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access fold_block gives an agent:

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and SiYuan MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for fold_block:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "fold_block": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "fold_block_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

fold_block 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.

  1. Create a free account and register SiYuan MCP Server — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
