AI agents call get_hpath_by_path to retrieve information from SiYuan MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries or retrieves path information without side effects. It performs a simple transformation of existing data (path lookup/conversion) without creating, modifying, or deleting any data. This is characteristic of Read category operations.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_hpath_by_path' and description '根据路径获取人类可读路径' (Get human-readable path by path) indicate a retrieval operation that converts internal paths to human-readable formats. No modification, deletion, or execution of code is performed.

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 get_hpath_by_path:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"get_hpath_by_path": {}
}
}get_hpath_by_path is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

根据路径获取人类可读路径. It is categorised as a Read tool in the SiYuan MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the SiYuan MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_hpath_by_path: 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 SiYuan MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_hpath_by_path 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 get_hpath_by_path 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 get_hpath_by_path. 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.
get_hpath_by_path is provided by the SiYuan MCP Server MCP server (xgq18237/siyuan_mcp_server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
