How to control move_docs_by_id ↓

AI agents use move_docs_by_id 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

Moving documents changes their location/hierarchy within the knowledge base structure, which is a reversible modification operation. This is Write-category behavior—data is modified but can be undone by moving documents back. It is not Destructive because the documents themselves are preserved, just repositioned.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'move_docs_by_id' and description '根据ID移动文档' (move documents by ID) indicate document repositioning/reorganization within a notebook structure.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access move_docs_by_id 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 move_docs_by_id:

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

move_docs_by_id 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.
